Imagine escaping to a remote coastal village in northwest Ireland, where you can indulge in an all-natural, organic spa experience with loads of health and beauty benefits. Here, you’ll soak up the waters of a sort of real-life fountain of youth that not only helps cure wounds and regulate the metabolism, but also fights signs of aging.

The simple ingredient behind all this: seaweed. Hand-harvested, organic seaweed to be exact.

At the popular VOYA Spa in Strandhill, Ireland, you can enjoy the rejuvenating effect of seaweed baths and a host of other services that use the plant, which carries with it many of the ocean’s vitamins and minerals.

The 300-year-old tradition was revived in 2000, when Neil Walton discovered the therapeutic power of wild seaweed. Today, the entire Walton family is committed to making people look and feel beautiful, while also working to protect the earth with sustainable harvesting practices and environmentally friendly packaging.   

Can’t make it to Ireland (neither can we!)...well you are in luck, Voya has a fantastic line of organic beauty products, available online bringing the experience close to home!
