Discover the Myhaven Difference
Heat. Sea. Stillness.
Welcome to Myhaven Oysterhaven, home to one of Cork's most unique wood-fired sea-sauna experiences.
Nestled on the peaceful shores of Oysterhaven Harbour, Myhaven offers far more than a traditional sauna. We have created a place where heat, sea, and nature come together to help you slow down, reconnect, and restore balance in both body and mind.
Whether you're looking for a quiet moment of solitude, a shared wellness experience, guided meditation, sound therapy, or a private celebration with friends, every session is designed around one simple belief:
Well-being begins when we create space to pause.
Our carefully curated sauna experiences combine the ancient tradition of wood-fired sauna with the invigorating waters of Oysterhaven, creating one of the most immersive wellness experiences in Cork.
If you're searching for saunas in Cork, sea-sauna experiences, contrast therapy, or a peaceful escape by the coast, you've found your haven.

Silent Sauna – Listen & Sea
Experience the Sound of Stillness
In a world filled with constant noise, silence has become a rare luxury.
Our Silent Sauna – Listen & Sea sessions invite you to leave conversation behind and immerse yourself in the sounds that truly matter.
The gentle crackle of the wood-fired stove.
The rhythm of the waves.
The call of seabirds overhead.
Your own breath.
Without phones, conversations or distractions, many guests discover a level of calm they haven't experienced in years.
This session is ideal for those seeking mindfulness, emotional balance and deep mental rest.
Nervous System Reset & Sauna
Restore Balance Through Breath, Heat & Stillness
Modern life asks a lot of us.
Constant notifications. Endless to-do lists. Busy schedules. Little time to simply stop.
It's no surprise that so many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained or constantly "switched on."
Our Nervous System Reset & Sauna sessions have been carefully created to offer something different.
Guided by Lady Fi, these unique wellness sessions combine meditation, mindful breathing, gentle nervous system regulation and the restorative warmth of our traditional wood-fired sauna to help you shift away from stress and back towards calm.
Rather than simply relaxing the body, these sessions are designed to support your entire nervous system, encouraging a deeper sense of balance that many participants continue to feel long after they leave.
Throughout the session, you'll be gently guided through calming breathwork and meditation techniques before experiencing the soothing warmth of the sauna and, if you choose, the refreshing waters of Oysterhaven Harbour.
The combination of heat, mindful awareness and nature creates an environment where the body can begin to let go of tension while the mind gradually becomes quieter.
Many guests describe these sessions as feeling like they have "pressed the reset button."
Whether you're experiencing workplace stress, emotional exhaustion, burnout or simply looking to create more calm in your weekly routine, this experience offers a safe and welcoming space to reconnect with yourself.

Hot Harmonies is one of Myhaven's most immersive wellness experiences.

Every vibration we create resonates throughout the body.
Our voice is one of the most powerful healing instruments we possess, yet many of us rarely use it beyond everyday conversation.
During Hot Harmonies, participants are gently encouraged to explore simple vocal practices alongside breathing exercises that help release tension held within both the body and mind.
Combined with the warmth of the sauna, these gentle practices can help soften physical tightness, calm the nervous system, and encourage a profound sense of inner stillness.
No singing ability is required.
There is nothing to perform.
-
Simply breathe.

Listen.

Feel.
Many guests leave describing a sense of emotional lightness, deeper connection, and renewed energy.

There is something magical about watching the sun disappear beyond Oysterhaven Harbour while wrapped in the comforting warmth of a wood-fired sauna.

As the evening light changes and the sounds of nature begin to settle, participants are immersed in carefully selected sound frequencies designed to encourage relaxation and inner calm.
These sessions invite you to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with yourself through the combined power of sound, heat and nature.
Each event feels slightly different, shaped by the changing seasons, moon phases and natural rhythms of the coastline.
Perfect for anyone looking to escape the demands of daily life and experience wellness in a truly unique setting.
The Healing Power of Sauna Series
A Seasonal Journey Through Heat, Nature & Human Wellbeing
Some experiences stay with you long after you've left.
The Healing Power of Sauna is more than a sauna session.
It is a guided journey through four seasonal experiences inspired by Celtic tradition, modern neuroscience, and the timeless wisdom of sauna culture.
Each gathering explores one of the body's natural "feel-good" chemicals, helping participants better understand the connection between heat, emotion, nature, and well-being.
Rather than simply learning about wellness, you'll experience it.
The series follows the turning of the Celtic year:
Seasonal Wellness Experiences
Celebrate the Changing Seasons Through Heat, Nature & Ritual
Throughout history, people have gathered around warmth to celebrate the changing seasons.
The turning of the year has always been marked by moments of reflection, renewal, and connection. At Myhaven Oysterhaven, we've embraced this tradition by creating a collection of immersive seasonal sauna experiences inspired by the Celtic calendar, the rhythms of nature, and the healing power of community.
Each seasonal event is thoughtfully designed to honour the energy of that particular time of year, combining our wood-fired sauna with guided rituals, breathwork, meditation, storytelling, sound, optional sea immersion, and moments of quiet reflection.
-
No two events are ever quite the same.
-
The tides change.
-
The weather changes.
-
The light changes.
-
And so do we.
Whether you're joining us to welcome spring, celebrate the longest day of the year, or simply pause during the festive season, every event offers an opportunity to reconnect with nature, with others, and with yourself.
Charity Sauna Sessions
Sauna With Purpose
At Myhaven, we believe well-being extends beyond ourselves.
Throughout the year we host charity sauna events that allow our community to come together while supporting meaningful causes.
One of our most cherished traditions is our Christmas Morning Charity Sauna, where every booking contributes directly to organisations making a real difference in people's lives.
These sessions embody everything Myhaven stands for:
-
Community.
-
Kindness.
-
Connection.
Because sometimes the greatest warmth comes from helping others.
International Women's Day Wellness Experience
Celebrating Strength, Connection & Wellbeing
Each year we celebrate International Women's Day with a carefully curated sauna experience led by Lady Fi.
Combining meditation, breathwork, storytelling, and sauna, these special gatherings create space for women to slow down, reconnect, and celebrate themselves in a welcoming and supportive environment.
These sessions often become some of the most memorable events of the year, bringing together women from across Cork to share warmth, conversation, and community.
Myhaven Sauna Oils
Bring the Calm Home With You
Your well-being journey doesn't end when you leave the sauna.
Our exclusive range of Myhaven Sauna Oils has been carefully developed to help you continue the feeling of relaxation long after your session has finished.
Unlike traditional sauna oils that are added to the heater, our oils are designed as post-sauna body oils and are equally suited for everyday use.
Made using carefully selected botanical ingredients, they absorb beautifully into the skin while leaving behind subtle natural aromas inspired by the coast, woodland, and the restorative feeling of time spent outdoors.
Whether used after a sauna, following a bath or shower, or simply as part of your daily self-care routine, our oils are designed to nourish both skin and mind.
Many of our guests tell us that applying their Myhaven oil at home instantly reminds them of sitting beside the sea after a sauna session.
Our collection is perfect for anyone looking to extend the Myhaven experience beyond the harbour.
Myhaven Mineral Salt Scrubs
Naturally Refresh, Exfoliate & Restore
A sauna naturally prepares the skin by opening pores and encouraging healthy circulation.
Our handcrafted Myhaven Mineral Salt Scrubs perfectly complement this process by gently exfoliating tired skin while leaving it feeling smooth, refreshed, and revitalised.
Rich in natural minerals and carefully blended with nourishing oils, each scrub has been inspired by the landscapes and coastline surrounding Oysterhaven.
Using a salt scrub after your sauna helps remove dry skin while leaving your body feeling incredibly soft and renewed.
Combined with our post-sauna oils, they create the perfect self-care ritual that can continue at home.
