Hugely honoured to see Wild Atlantic Seaweed Baths included in a recent National Geographic ( National Geographic ) article highlighting seaweed bathing in Ireland.

As anyone will know from growing up with National Geographic, the monthly print was one of the earliest ways of getting an introduction to the diversity of peoples and wonders of landscapes throughout the four corners of our world via their timeless journals and photographs.

When we embarked on our seaweed bath journey in 2018, one of the primary goals we set out and aspired to achieve and meet were the very high standards set by the likes of Kilcullens Seaweed Bathhouse in Enniscrone and VOYA Seaweed Baths at Strandhill and so it is also a huge honour to be mentioned alongside these industry leaders in Ireland in 2026.
