The BigStyle Lodge

At the heart of the lodge is our stunning 14-bedroom en-suite hotel, offering breathtaking views of one of Ireland’s most spectacular coastlines. But that’s just the beginning. We also have a yoga studio with panoramic views, amazing indoor and outdoor chill-out areas, The Big Dipper (Ireland’s Most Scenic Spa), the BigStyle surf school and a fantastic traditional pub and restaurant.

Where We Are

The Lodge is located a 25 minute drive south of Westport, just outside the town of Louisburgh.

From our hilltop vantage point we look out over Cross and Carrowniskey surf beaches, the world class flat water kitesurfing spot of Cross Lake and all the way to Croagh Patrick.

All within a few minutes drive.
