Glamping with a hot tub in Ireland is one of the most popular short breaks in the country: a cabin, pod or bell tent with your own private hot tub, usually in the countryside or by the coast. Here is what to look for before you book, and how site owners can add hot tubs of their own.
Best areas for glamping with a hot tub in Ireland
- Wild Atlantic Way: Kerry, Clare, Galway, Mayo and Donegal for sea views and dark skies.
- Wicklow and the Dublin Mountains: forest cabins within an hour of the city.
- Lakelands: Fermanagh, Leitrim, Cavan and Westmeath for lakeside pods.
- The South East: Waterford and Wexford for beaches and a drier climate.
What to check before you book
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Private or shared tub | Private is worth paying for |
| Wood-fired or electric | Wood-fired is more atmospheric; electric is ready when you arrive |
| Who heats it | Ask if it is hot on arrival or if you light it yourself |
| Water changed | Look for fresh water or proper filtration between guests |
| Cover and lighting | A cover and a light for night soaks |
Cabins with hot tubs vs glamping pods
Cabins with hot tubs usually sleep four to six and have a kitchen and bathroom, so they suit families and groups. Glamping pods are smaller and cosier, which is ideal for couples. Either way, a private hot tub turns a wet Irish evening into the best part of the trip.
For glamping site owners
A hot tub is one of the easiest ways to raise nightly rates and occupancy. Wood-fired tubs need no electrics, which suits off-grid pods, while electric tubs are simpler to manage between guests. See our guide to hot tubs for holiday lets and our range of wood-fired hot tubs. For tourism grants and support, check Fáilte Ireland.
