About this sauna

Hoco is carved into the side of an old warehouse in Cork, which makes opening the door a genuine surprise: what's inside is calm, planted and beautifully finished. There's a properly cold ice bath, fresh smoothies afterwards, and an unspoken rule about leaving your phone alone. Remarkably peaceful for somewhere this close to the city centre.

HOCO Sauna was fantastic! It felt like so much more than just a sauna experience. The whole place was spotless, incredibly peaceful, and had such a calming atmosphere. I loved that they offer fresh smoothies afterwards, and there are two cold plunge options, one that's cold and another that's ARCTIC if you're feeling brave! If you want to chill after or take a break there’s also a few board games around! The owner, Becky, is fantastic and so welcoming. She genuinely makes you feel looked after, and the whole experience feels thoughtfully put together. I can't recommend HOCo Sauna enough—I'll definitely be back!

A great sauna so close to the city centre. The space is fabulous even though you wouldn't think it going past the entrance. And the cold plunge pools are very good.

A wonderful sauna and a perfect spot to relax after a busy day. The atmosphere is calm, clean, and very refreshing. You can enjoy fresh smoothie 😋 after sauna
