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.

Fast forward to 2025 and we now have multiple locations across Ireland. With more on the horizon. We hope to share this journey with you and welcome you soon to one of our locations.

Health Benefits

Cardiovascular health

Sauna use mimics exercise as far as the heart is concerned. Sauna use is widely recognised to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, as well as releasing endorphins that make us happy!

Respiratory disease

Sauna use reduces your chances of catching a cold and furthermore, reduces symptoms from diseases such as pneumonia.

Chronic fatigue & pain

Sauna use in combination with cold water is a phenomenal treatment for pain and inflammation reduction. It can aid with disorders such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches and back pain.

Mental health

Sauna use improves the mood and also sleep quality, which keeps sauna users coming back for more. Cortisol, the stress hormone is also reduced when you use the sauna. Causing an alleviation of stress.

Dementia & Alzheimers

Studies suggest that people who sauna regularly are over 50% less likely to get dementia or Alzheimer's disease in their lifetime than those who do not.
