This past year, as always we added to what we offer our guests here at Killarney Glamping. Keeping our natural surrounds in mind we again sourced as much skills and materials locally.   • We were tempted to keep this one to ourselves but our guests now have Exclusive access to our Riverside Sauna. It has a stunning secluded setting on the banks of the River Flesk just a short stroll from each room. A Private session for 2 costs €40 and the sauna boasts panoramic views of the river and the experience includes use of a cold water rainforest style outdoor shower under a canopy of trees!
