Fire and Ice Sauna

Ballinskelligs, Co. Kerry

Fire & Ice Sauna sits behind Cable O'Leary's pub at Ballinskelligs, on the Ring of Kerry's Skellig Coast, with steps down to the beach right beside the sauna. There's a cold plunge too, and the view over Ballinskelligs Bay is reckoned by visitors to be one of the best of any Irish sauna.
