Surf, Sauna & Sea Adventures
The coastline near Inch Beach is a natural playground. Start your day with a guided surf — or a salt-spray sea swim — and follow it with a blissful session in a warm, panoramic sauna overlooking the water. From adrenaline to after-glow, it’s the most East-Cork way to reset.
Planning your sea-day is easy: browse our dedicated page for Surf, Sauna & Sea Adventures, where you’ll find how to book, what to bring and tips for first-timers.
Holistic Wellness & Seasoned Flavours
After the sea, settle into slow time. Book a rejuvenating massage or CranioSacral session, roll out a yoga mat, or simply journal by the fire. Evenings tend to gather around food — think wood-fired eco pizza nights, BBQs and simple seasonal plates shared with friends new and old.
Eat local, feel local
- Wood-fired eco pizza nights: fresh toppings, convivial vibes.
- BBQ & campfire: stories, stars and the gentle hush of the fields.
- Seasonal produce: celebrate what East Cork grows best, from shoreline to hedgerow.
Looking for quiet? Find a nook near your yurt’s stove, sip something warm, and let the day land gently.
Yurt Life: Comfort in Harmony with Nature
Every yurt at Inch Hideaway is handcrafted and intentionally cosy — a cocoon of natural textures, warm lighting and sustainably minded touches. Wake to birdsong, fall asleep to the soft rustle of the countryside, and enjoy the simplicity of everything you need, nothing you don’t.
- Snug stoves or heating for cool evenings
- Plenty of space for couples, families and small groups
