The detail

Slow Cabins represent a new way of being. A purpose-driven concept that offers secret cabin experiences designed to help you recharge, raise awareness around mental health, be conscious of energy consumption and actively support natural regeneration projects in County Galway. A stay at a Slow Cabins, a selection of five off-grid cabins, is perfect to escape the stresses of modern life. As you arrive, you’ll be taken aback by the tranquillity and endless nature of your surroundings.

Each of these luxury cabins has been designed and built from the outset to offer everything you need and nothing you don’t, with minimal ecological impact. Entering the cabin, you’re greeted with natural wooden tones and large windows that bathe the space with light. Solar panels ensure you’re never without the power you need, while the heat and calming glow from the wood-burning stove are perfect for cosying up in the winter months.

During spring and summer, throw open the patio doors during the evening and cook and dine alfresco on your own firepit and cooking tripod. Relax as the sun goes down with nothing but the sounds of the wind in the trees before endless starry skies reveal themselves at night.

In the colder months, the fully-fitted kitchen and dining area are perfect for cooking a range of fantastic ingredients from local producers. As the night draws in, retreat to your large bed and drift off under thick bedding. As the sun rises, the large windows fill the room with natural light and reconnect you with the wider world. Prepare a hearty breakfast and use the circular shower to refresh and recharge before spending a day exploring the stunning west coast of Ireland.

Nestled in beautiful rewilded landscapes near the village of Kinvara, Slow Cabins are your perfect base to reconnect with the natural world. Mere minutes from the Wild Atlantic Way, there are plenty of walking and cycling trails that crisscross the landscape. Swim in calm waters at Crushoa Pier or Traught Beach, or take in the historic Dunguaire Castle for a glimpse into the past.
