Welcome to The Maritime Hotel, proudly named Munster Coastal Escape of the Year 2023. Nestled on the edge of Bantry Bay, our 4-star hotel is the perfect gateway to the three rugged peninsulas of Mizen Head, Sheep’s Head, and Beara.
Located along the stunning Wild Atlantic Way, our hotel offers access to countless hidden inlets, charming coves, and pristine Blue Flag beaches—ideal for invigorating days spent in the fresh sea air. Whether you're learning to sail, kayaking on a salt-water lake, golfing at the scenic Bantry Bay Golf Club, or laughing your way through a zorbing adventure, the opportunities for outdoor fun are endless.
For those seeking awe-inspiring experiences, West Cork delivers edge-of-the-world drama. Hike mountain passes, cross the iconic bridge at Mizen Head with the Atlantic waves crashing below, or take a thrilling cable car ride to Dursey Island.
