Tepidarium

The tepidarium is a large tiled room with reclined benches. At tepid temperatures between 36 C - 39 C it is the ideal place to unwind and relax after a tough session in the gym, pool or indeed to relieve the day's stresses.

Sauna

The sauna, a Finnish creation, relaxes the body and soothes the mind. A sauna's dry heat cleanses skin and helps relieve muscle tension. An ideal treat for weary bodies! Our sauna is maintained at 88C and has aromatherapy to enhance your relaxation.

Steam room

Similar in principle to the sauna, the steam room aids relaxation. Toxins are expelled from the body through the creation of an artificial fever. The moist heat of a steam room is also said to help asthma and allergy sufferers by unblocking the respiratory channels and helping you to breathe with greater ease. Our steam room is maintained at 41C and features healing crystals, fibre optic lights and fragrant oils ensuring the ultimate relaxation experience.

Spa pool

Our spa pool, maintained at 38C, expels comforting Jacuzzi blasts of warm water that help massage away pain and tension. The buoyancy of the water bears the weight of your body helping muscles to truly relax and recover after a long days work. The heat of the water combined with the tranquil poolside atmosphere is guaranteed to provide you with a sound night's sleep.

Climbing wall

Time to go up in the world! Make the most of one of Dublin’s biggest climbing walls.

Squash court

Try your hand at squash, racquetball or Olympic handball on our custom court.
