Imagine stepping from your handcrafted yurt to the wild Atlantic breeze, catching a morning surf session, then easing into a seaside sauna before sharing wood-fired eco pizza under the stars. At Inch Hideaway, East Cork’s landscapes, sea energy and slow-living comforts blend into a restorative eco-glamping escape — perfect for couples, families and creative souls craving nature-first simplicity with a wellness twist.

 

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.

Pro tip: Sunrise or late-afternoon time slots mean softer light, fewer crowds and dreamy post-sauna sunsets.

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
  • Ethos of reuse, repair and respect for the land

If you’re dreaming up a romantic retreat, a family memory-maker or a creative reset, your yurt becomes the basecamp to it all.
