Sauna Scoop: Cold Plunges, Movember & Holiday Wellness at Ballyhass

Hey Sauna Community,

We are officially in the best time of year for sauna season - darker evenings, colder air, and the saunas have never felt cosier. Here's the latest sauna scoop...

COACHFORD'S COLD PLUNGE BATHS

First things first - a massive thank you to everyone who's been out to try our new cold plunge baths in Coachford. Your feedback and support mean the world to us. 

If you haven't taken the plunge yet... consider this your sign.

 

CHRISTMAS SAUNA HOURS

Members have already received early access to get their Christmas slots locked in. Bookings as usual will open two weeks in advance. Full schedule pictured above.

 

PLUNGE FOR A BRO - MALLOW | SUN 30TH 6-8PM

This Sunday, we're inviting men to step outside for an evening of cold plunges, conversation and connection - all in support of men's mental health and suicide prevention. 

Expect chill vibes, cold dips, firepits, drinks, good company - and just a space to have real conversations with the lads. No pressure. No expectations. Just show up.

Saunas will run in short rotating sessions all evening, giving everyone the chance to warm up after their plunge and keep the chats flowing.

  • Full 60-minute sessions
  • Access to both Mallow + Coachford lakeside locations
  • Pause or cancel anytime - total flexibility

12 DIPS OF DECEMBER

A massive fair play to everyone taking on the 12 Dips for Charity!

If you're short on time for a full sauna session but still need to tick off a dip, you're welcome to complete it at Mallow or Coachford during sauna hours - calm waters, trained lifeguard on hand, and a familiar, safe environment.

We'll also offer a 10-minute warm-up on us where possible (subject to session capacity). Just get in touch to arrange your dip and waiver: [email protected]

FUN FACT

Just 20-30 minutes in a sauna can do wonders: it helps melt away stress hormones, boosts circulation and gives you a moment to pause, recharge and reconnect with yourself. And while that might seem like an obvious one, amid the festive rush, don't forget to take a little time to mind yourself - you deserve it :)

Thank you for being part of the Ballyhass community. We can't wait to see you lakeside, in the sauna, or taking the plunge this festive season!
