Wellness Retreats and Meditation Workshops
Clare Island is a Haven of peace and tranquillity
Walk to oversee the majesty of Clew Bay from the top of our 1500 feet Knockmore Mountain. Visit secluded piers and beaches for nude swimming and outdoors classes. The wild Atlantic at your fingertips. Its bounty laid bare before you. There is simply no where better to unravel, unwind & reboot.
Bay View House offers a large floor space in our entertainment room which opens out onto the large, covered veranda. The setting is spectacular. Almost like being on a ship at sea, the view from all windows is of the sea with its marine & bird life covering the canvas. The landscape in the distance is of Croagh Patrick, the Connemara Mountains and Clew Bay.
Bay View House can provide full catering options for your stay if required. Prices are based on choices so please contact us for more information.
