Authentic Wood-Fired Sauna Experience in Athlone
Experience a true wood-fired sauna Athlone locals and visitors alike are discovering at Dubarry Park. Project Sauna combines traditional sauna culture with outdoor wellness, offering a unique way to reconnect, recharge and relax beside the River Shannon. Open Friday to Sunday, this authentic experience brings restorative heat therapy into a peaceful natural setting just minutes from Athlone town centre.
The custom-built, 10-person wood-fired sauna delivers deep, consistent heat powered entirely by firewood, creating a calming atmosphere that supports relaxation, recovery and social connection. Whether you are easing post-exercise muscle tension, improving circulation or simply taking time out, the wood-fired sauna Athlone experience encourages guests to slow down and reset both physically and mentally.
Visitors can enhance their session through contrast therapy facilities including three ice baths and two cold showers. Alternating between hot and cold immersion is known to support recovery, boost energy levels and promote overall wellbeing. Some guests visit for athletic recovery, while others come for mindfulness, stress relief or a refreshing outdoor activity with friends.
Located onsite, Project Coffee provides speciality coffee and warm drinks, adding a relaxed social element before or after your sauna session.
Project Sauna offers an accessible wellness escape that blends nature, community and authentic sauna tradition in the heart of Athlone.
