Wood-fired · Cold plunge
Vivo sits in an idyllic spot by the river outside Kilkenny, with a spacious wood-fired sauna, barrels to plunge in and the river itself if you want colder still. There's a changing room attached and it's a short drive from the city. Groups have taken to it especially: stags, hen mornings and the day after a wedding all turn up in the reviews.

“Spacious sauna in an idyllic spot, with the option to cold plunge in barrels or the arguably colder river. Changing room attached, and benches to picnic after. Sophie was very friendly and helpful with all questions!”

“An amazing experience. We went for my stag. To dust off the cobwebs. It was so professional, organised and kind. We had a great laught. She even organised with the pub across the way to have the fire and a Guinness waiting. 10/10 experience.”
