About The Hot Box Sauna – Killiney Beach

It's a smaller site than the city saunas, with around eight seats per session. There's an outdoor cold shower and changing facilities. Sessions are 55 minutes and started from €14.95 when we checked, from 7:30am every day, so a sunrise swim and sauna is very doable. It's for over-18s.
