Sunset Sauna – Allihies

Allihies, Co. Cork

Sunset Sauna is a small sauna on Ballydonegan Beach at Allihies, near the very tip of the Beara Peninsula in West Cork, with sessions in Castletownbere too. It's about as far west as Irish saunas go, and as the name suggests, it faces the evening sun over the Atlantic.

It's small and personal: visitors talk about soft towels, a rug on the floor and hosts who make it feel more like a little luxury spa than a beach hut. Private sessions are popular. Its website was still being built when we checked, so book through Google Maps or social media.
