Ireland has experienced a growing trend in garden wellness in recent years. More and more people are looking to enjoy the luxury and health benefits of a sauna not only in gyms or hotels but also right at home. This is where Polaris Sauna comes in. Based in Greystones, County Wicklow, we bring high-quality outdoor saunas and cold plunge tubs to homes across Ireland.
Our products are handcrafted in European workshops with decades of expertise in sauna building. At Polaris Sauna, we combine European quality with local Irish service creating an authentic wellness experience right in your own backyard.
Our Roots
Polaris Sauna was founded to bring together two passions: technical expertise and a deep love of sauna culture. The founder is a German engineer and long-time sauna enthusiast. In Germany, Finland, and the Baltics, the sauna is a centuries-old tradition, closely tied to health, relaxation, and community.
This heritage, combined with technical know-how, is the foundation of Polaris Sauna. Our partner workshops in Estonia and the Baltic region craft saunas using premium materials such as thermowood, Nordic spruce, and alder. The result is long-lasting products designed to perform in Ireland’s unique climate.
Why Ireland?
Ireland is famous for its dramatic landscapes, its wind and rain, and its close connection to the sea. At the same time, outdoor wellness has become a true lifestyle here. Sea swimming has exploded in popularity, with people taking cold dips in the Atlantic before or after work.
We want to add to this culture by making it easy to bring authentic wellness home. Owning an outdoor sauna in your garden is more than a luxur, it is a retreat, a way to reduce stress, and a chance to enjoy the powerful combination of heat and cold every day.
If you are wondering about planning permission or where to place your sauna, take a look at our detailed Outdoor Sauna Planning Guide for Ireland.
Our Products. Crafted in Europe.
Barrel Saunas
Our Barrel Saunas are the classic choice. Compact, fast to heat, and authentic in experience, the round design ensures excellent air circulation and even warmth.
Cube and Oval Saunas
For those who prefer a modern look, we also offer Cube and Oval designs. These models can be customised with panoramic glass fronts, LED lighting, or other features, making them a stylish addition to any garden.
Cold Plunge Tubs
The perfect partner to a sauna is the cold plunge. Our cold plunge tubs are made from durable materials, easy to maintain, and can be supplied with covers and steps. They allow you to enjoy the sea-swimming trend in your own garden.
Stoves and Accessories
We work with renowned brands such as Harvia and Huum. From traditional wood-burning stoves to modern electric heaters with Wi-Fi control, we provide the right solution for every sauna.
Quality Over Mass Production
At Polaris Sauna, we stand for quality. We deliberately focus on European manufacturing and do not offer cheap imports. For our customers, this means:
-
Long-lasting materials

Short transport routes within Europe
-
Reliable quality standards
-
Spare parts and upgrades available even years later
Choosing a sauna is a long-term investment, and we ensure that every product delivers lasting value.

-
Personal advice: We understand the Irish climate and customer needs.
-
Nationwide delivery: From Cork to Donegal, we deliver across the country.

Health Benefits of Sauna and Cold
A core part of our mission is to highlight the health benefits of sauna and cold therapy. Regular sauna use has been shown to strengthen the immune system, support heart health, and reduce stress. Combining heat with cold, through sea swimming or a cold plunge, enhances these effects.
Ireland’s cold Atlantic is fantastic, but not always practical. With a cold plunge tub in your own garden, you can enjoy the health benefits of contrast therapy whenever you want.
Part of the Wellness Community
Polaris Sauna is more than a supplier. We see ourselves as part of the Irish wellness community. Our aim is to promote a culture of mindful living and relaxation in Ireland. This includes partnerships with local businesses, participation in events, and supporting projects that focus on health and connection with nature.
Our Values
-
Authenticity – We only sell products we would use ourselves.
-
Sustainability – European production and durable materials.
-
Transparency – Clear prices and honest advice, no hidden fees.
-
Customer focus – Real service from Ireland, not an anonymous call centre.
Vision for the Future
Polaris Sauna may be young, but we think long-term. Our vision is to make high-quality outdoor wellness solutions widely available in Ireland, expand our product range, and eventually reach markets beyond Ireland.
At the same time, we want to stay close to our customers and be a company they can truly trust.
