“This is one of my favourite places in Cork. The community of friends around Swede Sauna, Sara's warmth and friendliness, and the gorgeous Cove, make this such a special place. ♥️”

About this sauna
Swede Sauna is a mobile set-up on the sand at Roberts Cove, run by Sara, with the sauna consistently reaching a rolling 95 to 100°C. It has a sandy rather than stony beach, a natural plunge pool in the nearby stream at low tide and scenic cliff walks close by.

“Cool sauna and cool dog called willow 🔥”

“Have visited Swede Sauna 3 times in the last couple of months with family and friends. Visited at the weekend and 2 out of the 3 times Sara had overbooked the sauna so wasnt as enjoyable experience as other saunas I tried around Cork. Online booking says it holds 8 people but Sara has over booked it to be 12 people. Its too much of a tight squeeze and then youre coordinating with other between re who is in the sauna vs in the sea. The first time it happened Sara said it was an accident that it was overbooked by mistake but then it happened a second time I visited so I think its something that happens regularly. Such a shame as its a gorgeous location, just not very relaxing when youre packed in with too many people. Won't be back unfortunately.”

“A special experience, relaxed and easy going. The view from inside the sauna is something else, and Robert's Cove is a treat in itself. Highly recommended.”

“Great welcome from Sarah the owner at Swede sauna. Sauna was 100 degrees plus. Fabulous views over Roberts cove. The sea was clear and the beach clean. One of the best sauna experiences of my life.”
