Imagine relaxing back into luxurious steaming bath of fresh seawater and wild, organic seaweed.
‘Borne of a passion for the maritime habitat’. In 2000 Neil Walton and family opened the VOYA Seaweed Baths in the coastal village of Strandhill, County Sligo, Ireland.
Together both Neil, with his father and mentor Mick Walton, were able to combine their passion for sports recovery, knowledge of aquaculture, and the age-old seaweed bathing traditions founded by our Irish forefathers – into the re-establishment of the Bathhouse within this beautiful coastal village.
The therapeutic properties of wild seaweed have long been known along the Irish coast. At the beginning of the 20th century there were an estimated 300 seaweed bath houses in Ireland, with at least 9 in the County of Sligo alone.
They show respect and gratitude for the Oceans bounty, through adopting environmentally sustainable harvesting techniques and eco-friendly practises from beginning to end of their business cycle – from Shore to Bath to Soil. They simply have to, the Ocean is the beating heart of their business.
