Puball Allais: Walk, Wood-Fired Sauna Ritual & Wild Atlantic Dip | Castle Haven
7:30am daily A guided early-morning short walk leading to a private wood-fired sauna ritual inside our Puball Allais, followed by a cold-water dip. A small-group, story-rich Castle Haven experience, finishing with a healthy breakfast.
Start the morning with a quiet coastal walk to Tobar Bearcháin as first light lifts over the water. We move at an easy, unhurried pace, taking time at the holy well and along the shoreline, sharing stories of water, the sea, and the lived dúchas of this rugged stretch of the Wild Atlantic Way.
From here we move between sea and warmth, beginning with the shelter of our puball allais, a traditional sweat-tent style, wood-fired sauna. The sauna forms part of a simple water ritual, moving between cold and warmth, sea and shelter, allowing the body and mind to settle.
This is a small-group, sensory experience, grounded and unhurried. We finish with a healthy breakfast, letting the morning take its own shape before walking back up the narrow bóithrín that brought us down to this special place.
