Sunset Sauna Beara

Heat. Cold. Repeat.

Wood-fired sauna. Atlantic plunge. Epic views. Book your session and leave the world behind.

Sunset Saunas

Sunset Sauna Beara was born from the love of the sea, we’ve two barrel Saunas on the beautiful Beara Peninsula one of which stays put down in Coornagillagh approx 12km from Kenmare Town and is alight all year round.

Our other Sauna operates at Ballydonegan Beach in Allihies at the end of the Beara Peninsula from May to October and makes frequent visits to the lovely Tralahan Pier in Castletownbere which overlooks Bere Lighthouse.

Right behind the barrel sauna in Coornagillagh you’ll find Coorna Café — a beautifully converted horsebox serving organic coffee and toasted specials. The perfect way to warm up from the inside out after your session. (café is open at weekends and for group bookings)

Sauna Benefits

Ancient practice. Modern science. Here's what heat and cold can do for you.

Recovery & Physical Relief

Alternating heat and cold reduces inflammation, eases muscle soreness, and gets blood pumping — leaving your body feeling looser, lighter, and fully recovered.

Mental Clarity & Stress Relief

The sauna strips everything back. Heat forces you to slow down, cold snaps you into the present. Together, they clear mental fog and melt away stress in a way little else can.

Deep, Restorative Sleep

Regular hot/cold therapy regulates your nervous system and lowers cortisol, setting you up for the kind of deep, uninterrupted sleep most of us have forgotten was possible.

Une superbe expérience revigorante sur un magnifique couché de soleil, tellement incroyable que la voiture - tout comme nous - n’a pas voulu repartir. Heureusement, Alice a été d’une grande gentillesse et nous a aider à sortir notre voiture enlisée dans le sable. Merci pour cette expérience inoubliable ! Nous reviendrons avec joie:)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A group of us seized the last day of 2025 with a very enjoyable session spent alternately poaching in the sauna and dipping in the bracingly cold sea. We loved it! It was by parts relaxing and exhilarating, and it really set us up for the day. Cannot recommend it enough! We’ll definitely be back when we’re next back in Kerry, and will be recommending it to friends and family who live nearby. Thanks Alice for a great experience!
