Join fellow sea lovers for a shared session in The Rust Box Sauna — a warm, welcoming space to unwind, chat, and take in the ever-changing views of Keel Beach. Built from 95% upcycled materials, it’s rustic on the outside but full of charm and comfort within. Whether you’re finishing a surf, walking the shore, or just need a moment of calm, this is the perfect place to restore and reconnect.
Heat, Sea Air,
and Good Company
Each shared session lasts one hour and welcomes up to seven people at a time. Step inside the cosy warmth of The Rust Box Sauna and enjoy a truly unique experience by the sea. Between rounds, step outside for a dip, cool off in the Atlantic air, and take in the sound of waves rolling across Keel Beach.
These sessions are relaxed, social, and open to everyone aged 16 and over. It’s a great way to meet new people, share stories, and experience the best of Achill’s coastal atmosphere — together.
