Welcome to Wild Atlantic Seaweed Baths
Wild Atlantic Seaweed Baths are delighted to now be based @ Doolin Pier on the West Coast of Ireland. We are very grateful for the kind and warm welcome we have received from residents and businesses in the area.

We look forward to welcoming you to our world class hot seaweed baths @ Doolin Harbour
Thank You
Update: We will be operating our seaweed baths @Doolin Pier until Sunday 8th December where we hope to then visit Bantry Bay after Christmas and into the New Year with a further trip to Ceann Trá or Ventry Pier Co. Kerry in January 2025. These aforementioned dates are not only an opportunity for us to return to a couple of all the locations we have been privileged to visit over the years but is also an opportunity for those with vouchers to redeem them. If you have any further queries regarding vouchers please visit the FAQ section of our website.
We then hope to reopen our seaweed baths @Doolin Pier in late January for 2025. For those looking to make reservations with us for 2025, we will relaunch our booking calendar in January where reservations will be available for up to 3 months ahead of time.
Thank you.

Wild Atlantic Seaweed Baths, established during the summer of 2018 provide one of the only fully mobile seaweed bath outfits in Ireland and maybe worldwide.
We have been making “Whiskey Barrel Hot Tubs” since 2009 and the Wild Atlantic Seaweed Baths project is the latest fruition of our love for good healthy living and ……. Whiskey Barrels
Wild Atlantic Seaweed Baths now offers individuals, couples and groups the truly memorable opportunity to experience one of the most unique seaweed experiences both within Ireland and around the world.
Using age old reused and upcycled whiskey barrels filled with hot seawater and sustainably hand harvested Atlantic Seaweed, bathers submerge themselves in to one of the most relaxing and immersive hours of their lives, enjoying unrivalled 360° panoramic views of Ireland’s internationally acclaimed Wild Atlantic Way coastline.
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.
