Coldwater swimming

Nothing is more invigorating than getting into the water, whether at the beach, in the lake or in the pond. With 5 Blue Flag beaches and countless others that surely should be better known, there are so many spots that make coldwater swimming the ideal way to wake up your senses.

Take a seaweed bath

Relax and soak in all the goodness of the ocean. Book in advance as these treatments are very popular.

Sauna on the beach

Located both on Keel and at Dugort, these uber-popular gypsy-wagon style saunas will heat you up before you then get yourself immersed in the salty sea water to really give you a ‘zing’!

You’ll be gobsmacked by the amazing views while you sit and sweat – an experience that just has to be done while you’re here.

Book a tour at the Distillery
