Eskape Beauty & Seaweed Baths

Eskape Beauty & Seaweed Baths on Achill Island, County Mayo, combines a beauty and treatment salon with traditional seaweed bathing. Hot seawater baths with freshly gathered seaweed are a long-standing part of Irish coastal life, valued for the way the warm water and seaweed leave skin soft and muscles eased.

It makes a restorative stop after a day walking Achill’s cliffs and beaches, with treatments taken individually or as a couple. Sessions are usually booked in advance by appointment, so ring ahead to arrange a time and ask what to bring.
