2 hours (approximately)

Escape the ordinary at Funkytown’s private waterfront sanctuary on the edge of Cork Harbour. Begin beside the sea in our handcrafted, timber-fired Finnish sauna before settling into your own oak sherry barrel, filled with warm water and naturally harvested Irish seaweed. This two-hour experience combines elemental heat, fresh Atlantic air and a traditional seaweed bath in a peaceful coastal setting just 20 minutes from Cork city. With only six seaweed barrels, the experience remains intimate, unhurried and far removed from a conventional spa.

What to expect

Arrive at Funkytown’s private waterfront sanctuary and check in with our team before changing and settling into your experience. Begin with a one-hour session in our timber-fired Finnish sauna overlooking Cork Harbour, with time between sauna rounds to cool down, breathe in the sea air and relax beside the water.

Afterwards, unwind in your own oak sherry barrel, filled with warm water and naturally harvested Irish seaweed. Relax for one hour as the seaweed softens and releases its naturally silky oils into the water. Changing facilities, lockers, a toilet and a freshwater rinse are available on site. Please bring your own towel and swimwear and they are not provided.
