Ireland’s first floating sauna is coming to Dublin.<\/p>\n
The crew behind Helios Sauna have unveiled their plans to introduce Ireland’s first floating sauna in Dun Laoghaire. The venture will involve constructing a sauna on a floating platform, enabling guests to relish in relaxation whilst encircled by the sea water – with the opportunity to take an immediate cold plunge afterwards.<\/p>\n
Helios has already cultivated a robust following through its outdoor sauna experiences, which merge traditional sauna sessions with cold-water therapy. The firm initially launched facilities on Bray seafront, subsequently extended into Dublin<\/a> with a Roman bath-style sauna courtyard in Dundrum, and have recently also headed south to open a facility in Rosslare.<\/p>\n Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council issued a request for individuals or businesses to suggest the provision and operation of a floating sauna in Coal Harbour in January 2025. A DLRCC spokeswoman stated at the time: “This innovative experience will offer a relaxing and rejuvenating escape for both locals and visitors. Located alongside the Old Quay in Dun Laoghaire Harbour, the Floating Sauna will be based on a pontoon structure no larger than 8m long x 5m wide (40m2 maximum).<\/p>\n “Sustainability is a key focus, and proposals should prioritise self-sufficiency and eco-friendly practices. Dun Laoghaire Harbour is a renowned architectural heritage site of national and international importance, known for being the primary location for sailing in Ireland. “With four yacht clubs and Ireland’s.<\/p>\n As one of the largest sail training providers, the Harbour boasts a rich maritime history. Whilst the Harbour is a hub for sailing activities, we are actively working to increase public participation in a variety of watersports.<\/p>\n “The addition of a Floating Sauna will provide a unique amenity for visitors to enjoy the Harbour in a new way.”<\/p>\n Want to see more of the stories you love from Dublin Live?
