    Excellent place to visit!

    Very helpful and friendly young staff. The equipment was in good order and the whole experience was great. We had an adult 40+ and three teens. They all loved it and the adult had a very early night that evening. Highly recommended.

    Can’t wait to go back for more coffee and Sauna!

    Went to Beal Gael Sauna today for the first time. Had already been a few times this week for their delicious coffee “Ponaire”. But had yet to try the Sauna. What can I say …only fantastic! From the minute we arrived we were so well looked after by Charlotte and her team. The sauna was lovely, and a great view of tralee bay. When you need to cool down you can go in the sea a few short steps away, or in the refreshing shower directly outside.

    Such a peaceful, rejuvenating experience.

    Did the new sauna at Beal Geal Saunas in Castlegregory today while the kids were off enjoying the trampolines — absolute bliss! The whole place was spotless, and the freshwater shower afterwards was incredible. Such a peaceful, rejuvenating experience. Can’t wait to return tomorrow! The staff are amazing so friendly, I hope your new business is a massive success 🙌
