Long before science proved the sea’s healing powers, Irish people would head to the Waterford coast to ‘take the waters’ to restore their well-being.
When you immerse yourself in a seaweed-infused bath here at Sólás na Mara, and start to unwind, you’ll be following in their footsteps, drawing health and wellness from the raw elements of your natural surroundings.
