Helios Sauna

31st Finnish sauna review. These saunas are both great. Temperature was a minimum of 90c entire time, ranging up to 110c. Wood fired was 110c down to 90c, electric was a flat 105c. Humidity was 10% in both. IMO the ash pan in the wood fired stove was kept open way too long and a bunch of the heat was being lost as the timber was being burnt through too often, leading to inconsistency. Feedback to help with the culture; tell people when they attend to go in/out quickly and don’t keep the door open. Too many people didn’t seem to know about the importance of the door lot of good heat was lost. The bucket and ladle in the electric sauna could/should be upgraded from plastic to wooden - hot plastics are bad. The bench height in the electric sauna was perfect, law of löyly maintained. Also the first time seeing the rounded rocks in person. They do give off a smoother löyly, which is lovely. That combination has that experience being one of the most perfect saunas I’ve visited. With the rocks hot as they were the lämpömassa was on point, unlike others. This was a sauna I didn’t want to leave. The wood fired sauna’s temperature was variable based on how the fire was being fed, combined with the ash pan being open and it was a bit more hit and miss. Combined that with sitting a bit lower (law of löyly not observed) and it didn’t quite pack the same punch. Still a good experience, but not next level like the electric. The electric was the star of the show! Both heaters were Harvia heaters so quality. The cold plunges were spot on, the coldest bath felt close to 0c and there was around 4-5 other baths with different temperatures. Would love a warm shower to heat up afterwards before heading out, but that doesn’t take away from the experience. Will be back when next in Dublin. Thank you!

Was beautiful experience well worth a visit. Wood fire sauna too hot pool and cold pools abd barrels. And nice coffee o your way out. I'll be back for sure thanks guys.

First time visiting yesterday and loved it, will definitely be back. The girl working there was super friendly and helpful giving an intro to where everything was. The place is really spacious with lots of changing rooms, and space to leave bags and the sauna itself is huge but still really hot. I wasn’t brave enough to try the ice plunge pool but personally I loved the outdoor heated pool to finish off my session (would be even nicer if it was a tiny bit hotter but that might be just a personal preference). Also grabbed a coffee after which was really nice 😊 10/10 would recommend and looking forward to going back soon.

Helios sauna is honestly my favorite place in Ireland, staff are so nice and the saunas are consistently hot and extremely clean. The plunge pools are the coldest and cleanest i have seen yet and the hot pool is a great additive. Oscar was my favorite staff member and extremely gorgeous. His smile is stunning and we had great chats ;)
