Saunas With Soul

The Saunas With Soul experience is one of the best things you can do in Carlingford. Set right on the shores of the lough, the saunas have floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views across the water to the Mourne Mountains. It is the kind of place where you walk in stressed and walk out feeling like a completely different person. The experience includes guided breathing, cold water dips, and time in the sauna to fully unwind.

What sauna and hot tub options are available in Carlingford?

There are several options depending on what you are looking for. Saunas With Soul is the premium lough-side experience with panoramic views. The portable sauna can be brought to your accommodation for a private session. The Hot Box Sauna is a modern waterfront option. And the Revive sauna and hot tub combo gives you the best of both worlds. On top of that, many of the self-catering properties have their own private hot tubs.

Hot Tubs

Hot tub hire is one of the most popular add-ons for groups staying in the area. Having a hot tub at your accommodation transforms the whole trip. After a day of activities or a night in the pubs, sinking into hot water under the stars is the perfect way to end the day. Several properties already come with built-in hot tubs, and for those that do not, you can have one delivered and set up.

More Wellness Options

The portable sauna is a unique option that brings the sauna experience to you. The Revive sauna and hot tub package combines both for a full wellness session in a stunning outdoor setting. And laughter yoga is a surprisingly effective way to release tension and leave everyone feeling amazing. It is popular with hen parties, but it works brilliantly for any group.
