Ready for a reset? Here are the Christmas opening times for Cork’s Beach Saunas

By Christina Collins December 26, 2022December 26, 2022

It’s a fast way to shake off the cobwebs.

And even though the thought of getting out of the comfy robe for even one minute fills the best of us with dread, there is no denying that it’s good for the head.

As the beach saunas around Cork continue to thrive, adding to the already substantial list of positive aspects associated with swimming, we can’t think of anything better to shift the Christmas inertia than working up a sweat and then jumping into the ocean to cool off.

Here are the opening times for Cork’s Beach Saunas over the Christmas period:

1. Wild Wellness Collective

This sauna is perched along Garretstown Beach and if you fancy a bit of hot n’ cold treatment before New Year’s, you can book a session from Monday, December 26th- Saturday, January 1st at various times. To book visit their website here.
