About this sauna

Driftwood Sauna sits in a secluded spot right on the ocean along the Wild Atlantic Way in An Spidéal, run year-round by Monique and Edward. It's a warm, calm welcome and a genuinely social atmosphere, with occasional full-moon rituals that add a fire on the beach and marshmallows to the usual sauna-and-swim.

I had the most beautiful experience here yesterday evening celebrating the summer solstice with my daughter. Monique and Edward are very calm and welcoming, the saunas are very well kept. The location is stunning right beside the beach. This was my second visit to Driftwood Sauna and would definitely reccommend, it's only a short drive from the city and well worth it. Thank you for a lovely rejuvenating experience .

Always beautiful but even better on a bad day.

Beautiful sauna by the sea. We had a wonderful sauna and sea dip on a recent trip to Spiddal. Monique was really warm and welcoming. The space is spotless and the views incredibly peaceful. Highly recommend & can't wait to revisit.

Fantastic spot and the place is spotless. Monique is a wonderful host, very welcoming and friendly., and you can walk into the sea which is right across from the sauna which is an added bonus. I'll be back
