Wild Atlantic Seaweed Baths, established during the summer of 2018 provide visitors with an opportunity to experience a centuries old Irish tradition of bathing in hot sea water and hand harvested seaweed.

Over the past 7 years we have developed a world class outdoor bathing experience using state of the art equipment which has been developed in house which includes the ability to heat significant quantities of sea water whilst incorporating a unique and patent pending waste water heat recovery system allowing us to reduce our carbon emissions by up to 40% making our seaweed baths probably the most environmentally friendly in the world.

An immersive ‘out of this world’ Wild Atlantic Irish Experience

From the minute our guests arrive on site, they will be treated to an experience that hits all the senses; refreshing mind and body as they indulge in relaxing, healing seaweed while absorbing the nature around them.

Greeted with the warmest of Irish welcomes, guests are led to their individual seaweed bath with wooden steps to make accessing the tub as easy as possible, the guest then submerges themselves in deliciously warm and inviting heated ocean water.

Once settled, the Wild Atlantic Seaweed is then added, poured from a vintage steel bucket and this is where the magical experience begins.

Offering an individual, exclusive front row seat to the sounds and smells of the ocean, guests can either opt for 100% pure relaxation or add an element of excitement and exhilaration to the experience, sending the senses into overdrive by taking dips in our cold ocean water plunge barrels and then returning to the warming waters of the hot tub.

At any point during the hour, hot water top ups are available, ensuring that the optimum temperature desired by the guest is maintained.

The baths are amazing at any time of the day, but the experience is elevated when offered at the end of an activity filled day, e.g., post hiking, horse-riding, stand-up paddle boarding etc as their locally harvested, sustainable seaweed products provide nutrients for the skin, while easing aches and pains.

If visiting Wild Atlantic Seaweed Baths, we offer the following advice and guidelines.

As with any therapeutic experience that involves raising one’s body temperature, it is of utmost importance to hydrate yourself prior to and after using one of our baths. Therefore we recommend you bring plenty of drinking water with you.

We also discourage people from using the baths if intoxicated with alcohol or any other drugs and we request all visitors to refrain from drinking alcohol whilst using our baths as alcohol and hot water can lead to one becoming nauseous or drowsy which can lead to unconsciousness and therefore potentially, serious injury. If pregnant, please consult with your GP before using our baths as hot water can adversely affect pregnant women and the unborn.

When making a visit to our baths, please bring togs, towel and drinking water to hydrate yourself prior to, during and after using the baths.

Seaweed Baths in Ireland go back nearly a century and the use of seaweed for it’s health giving properties have been known for a long time.

Our bathers regularly speak of the incredible benefits our seaweed baths have for their skin, aches and pains as well as contributing to incredible sleep afterwards.

A group of TY students in West Cork as a result of using the baths have also been inspired to do a project on the benefits of seaweed who were recently invited to make a presentation to the BT Young Scientist an Technology Exhibition.
