About this Sanctuary

Boasting a labyrinthine layout of five distinct levels, this Dublin gem stands out as one of the city's premier gay saunas. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by the aroma of eucalyptus in the steam room and a vibrant mix of both seasoned patrons and those seeking new connections. The venue’s fourth floor features a cozy dark room for intimate encounters, while the third level houses 12 relaxing cabins that often draw older clients. This sauna is open around the clock on weekends, making it an ideal spot to unwind or explore late-night after pub crawls. Staff is consistently praised for their friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring a seamless experience. Despite its extensive offerings, the venue's age becomes evident in some outdated amenities.
