Niche Coastal
BeachNiche Coastal at Ballycastle on the Antrim coast offers roughly 90-minute sessions for groups of up to eight, enough time for several full hot-and-cold cycles with multiple sea dips between rounds. The larger capacity and longer sessions make it the group-outing pick on the Causeway Coast.

BeachA Scenic Sauna sits on the coast at Ballygalley in County Antrim, one of the operators extending Northern Ireland's sea-sauna scene south of the Causeway Coast cluster.
Redbarn Cavehill
OtherRedbarn Cavehill is the easiest wild-sauna fix for Belfast locals, sitting on the slopes of Cavehill just minutes from the city centre. It pairs wood-fired sauna sessions with hot tubs, cold plunge pools and guided sauna rituals, and the guided sessions are a good introduction for newcomers.
HotBox Sea Sauna (Benone Strand)
BeachHotBox runs a Scandinavian-style sea sauna at Benone Strand on the Causeway Coast in County Derry, seating six comfortably with sessions of one to two hours and plenty of breaks for sea dips or a cold plunge. It is strictly 16-and-over and booked online, making it a reliable, well-organised north-coast option.
Wild Mourne Wellness
