We can’t think of a better way to kick off the New Year.

The Warming Wagon, a luxury wood-fired mobile sauna, is holding a New Years Day Beach Special on Tuesday, January 1st, 2019 on Inch Beach (Ballintra).

You can sweat out your Christmas toxins in the sauna aufguss – a special snowball scented infusion with essential oils – before diving into the icy Atlantic to cool off (high tide is at 2pm).

It’s guaranteed to blow off the cobwebs.

Jameson will be on site on the day serving whiskey and prosecco. There’ll be Bavarian games, peppermint tea and almond shortbread to enjoy in the sand too.

Fluffy towels, fruit and water are provided and the sauna boasts a huge panoramic window so you can watch the waves as you relax inside.

The best bit? All profits and donations from day will go to Cork Animal Care Society.

Pre-booking of one-hour time slots is available from 2pm to 6pm. Check out the Facebook page for further details.

If you can’t make New Years, there’s also a Winter Solstice Sauna this Friday, December 21st.
