A seaweed bath at Sólás na Mara is a small sanctuary of peacefulness, where you can relax and absorb the benefits of seaweed and salt water on the shores of Dungarvan Bay.

Every part of your visit to Sólás na Mara, from the moment you turn down towards Helvick Harbour, is a comforting salve to the soul, as well as the body.

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.
