About Us
THERE ARE MANY REASONS TO VISIT WEST CORK
The Maritime Hotel sits on the edge of Bantry Bay at the heart of the three rugged peninsulas of Mizen Head, Sheep’s Head and Beara.
This stunning section of the Wild Atlantic Way boasts hundreds of secret inlets, tiny coves, safe harbours and blue flag beaches - perfect for refreshing, active days in the salty sea air. Learn to sail, take a day trip to the islands, kayak on a salt-water lake, golf at Bantry Bay Golf Club, or roll around laughing on a zorbing track – the possibilities are endless.
You can also experience edge-of-the-world drama - climb a mountain pass, cross the bridge to the end of Mizen Head with the Atlantic crashing below, or take the cable car over the sea, to Dursey Island.
West Cork's culinary scene is a revelation, championed by local farmers, artisan food producers, and chefs. Taste the island in either of our two great eateries. The Maritime Bar is perfect to finish the day, be sure to try the fresh seafood chowder, while The Ocean Restaurant offers a modern Irish dining experience.
Unwind at Club Maritime Leisure Centre or luxuriate in a pampering session at You Time Day Spa.
