About The Hot Box

We are Dan, Liam and Luke and we are the creators of The Hot Box Sauna.

Our goal, wherever we go, is to connect the power of the traditional sauna experience with the raw beauty of an Irish lake, sea or river. Having spent the time researching, designing and building the sauna at bective ourselves it has been very special seeing it come to life.Bective opened in summer 2021 and was a great success so we decided to go back to the drawing board and build another which is now in Rosses Point in county Sligo.
