Tucked in the heart of town, the Westport Plaza Hotel’s Spa Sula is a hidden gem that blends luxury with warm Irish hospitality.

When you step into Spa Sula you enter a luxurious temple of harmony for body, mind and spirit. It is an indulgent sanctuary created exclusively for your pleasure and well-being. The thermal suite is pure bliss — think rock saunas, aroma steam rooms, and a hydrotherapy pool that feels like a hug for your muscles.

Westport has become a bit of a yoga mecca in recent years. The Yoga Root is Westport’s first dedicated yoga studio tucked away in a beautifully restored 18th-century mill at Westport Harbour. The studio hosts lots of drop-in classes and workshops suitable for all body types and flexibility. The state of the art studio is spacious, warm and welcoming, the perfect spot to unwind while on your hols.

For those looking for a truly immersive experience, check out Cloona Health Retreat just outside the town, besides beautiful Brackloon Woods, which offers a range of five-day health retreats that include daily yoga.

If spa robes aren't your thing, how about soaking in nature instead? The woodland trails of Westport Estate are made for mindful wandering. Known as “forest bathing” (Shinrin-yoku if we’re being fancy), the idea is to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest. Grab a takeaway coffee from town, slow your pace, and let the birdsong and rustling trees work their magic.

Wellness is a wide ranging term and if massage or yoga are not your thing why not think a little outside of the traditional.

Discover the soul-warming tradition of Irish baking at The Irish Soda Bread Way based at the Clew Bay Hotel. There's something truly magical about sinking your hands into dough and creating authentic Irish soda bread and fluffy white scones—a delicious window into Ireland's rich food heritage. This isn't just a baking class; it's a journey through generations of tradition, where stories rise alongside the bread in our fun-filled, hands-on experience. Whether you're a complete novice or kitchen confident, the welcoming atmosphere makes everyone feel right at home.

The beauty of this experience? No baking experience needed! Just bring yourself and prepare to mix, knead, and laugh your way through this quintessentially Irish tradition.
