Immerse Yourself in Nature
Nestled in the Wild Atlantic Way, a scenic driving route that stretches along the western coast of Ireland. It is one of the longest defined coastal driving routes in the world, covering approximately 2,500 kilometers from County Donegal in the north to County Cork in the south. It is an awe-inspiring stretch of coastal beauty that captures the essence of Ireland’s untamed wild landscape. Towering cliffs, pounded by the mighty Atlantic Ocean, command attention with their sheer majesty, while secluded beaches offer a tranquil respite amidst the wildness.
The Wild Atlantic Way is an invitation to embrace the untamed, to lose yourself in the raw beauty of nature, and to witness the extraordinary power and tranquillity that coexist along this mesmerizing coastal journey. The retreat center is within walking distance to the Cliffs of Moher, a UNSECO World Heritage sight.
