About this sauna

The Badger is a wood-fired sauna beside a lake in west Cork, and visitors reach for the word magical more often than seems reasonable until you have been. The heat is beautiful, the surroundings gorgeous, and Sara and Seb are the sort of hosts who make an evening. The lake handles the cold half.

Amazing sauna experience at The Badger Sauna. Sarah & Seb are the best hosts. We would highly recommend checking this sauna out and their whisking / pirtis sessions. Book it now!
