The northern shore, from above.
Most sauna on Carlingford Lough happens at the water's edge, which means tide times, pop-up dates and a lot of checking the forecast. We sit above the Lough at Rostrevor Mountain Lodge instead — a permanent site with a wood-fired cabin, hot tubs and a spring-fed plunge pool that runs to the same schedule every week.
Book any day, any tide
A fixed site and a spring-fed plunge mean your slot is your slot. No tide tables, no pop-up dates to catch.
Sauna, hot tub and plunge
All three in one 60-minute session, not separate add-ons. Cycle between them as many times as you like.
Somewhere to sit after
A coffee and mocktail bar on site, plus Kilbroney Forest Park and Rostrevor village minutes down the hill.

Questions, answered.
- Where exactly on Carlingford Lough are you?
- On the northern shore, above Rostrevor in Co. Down — Rostrevor Mountain Lodge, Lower Knockbarragh Road. You're in the trees looking down over the Lough with the Mournes behind you.
- Is this a sea sauna?
- No. We're set above the Lough with a natural spring water plunge pool fed off the mountain, plus wood-fired sauna and hot tubs. That means we run to a fixed schedule rather than around the tides.
- Do sessions depend on the tide or weather?
- Not at all. Because the plunge is a spring-fed pool rather than the Lough itself, sessions run as booked whatever the tide or weather is doing.
- How long is a session and what does it cost?
- 60 minutes from £18 per person, including the wood-fired sauna, hot tubs and the natural spring plunge pool.
- Can we book the whole place for a group?
- Yes — we do private hire of the lodge, barn, sauna, hot tub and plunge for sports teams, companies, stags and hens. Prices depend on group size and what you want included.
