Pure Space
Certification: Ecotourism Ireland Gold County: Clare (Loop Head Peninsula) Type: Eco glamping, camping, yoga retreat
Pure Space holds Ecotourism Ireland Gold certification, the highest level of eco tourism accreditation in Ireland. The property sits on the Loop Head Peninsula in west County Clare, one of the quietest and most dramatically wild stretches of the Wild Atlantic Way. Fewer visitors reach Loop Head than the Cliffs of Moher or the Burren. Those who do find a landscape of sea stacks, lighthouse coastline, and exceptional sky that is genuinely off the tourist circuit.
The Certification
Ecotourism Ireland Gold requires properties to demonstrate genuine low-impact tourism practice across ecological management, biodiversity, community connection, energy and water systems, and the quality of guests’ engagement with the natural environment. It is independently assessed and renewed annually.
Pure Space has held this certification and integrates its eco principles into how the site is managed, how guests experience the landscape, and how the operation runs day to day.
The Setting
Loop Head Peninsula extends into the Atlantic at the southwestern tip of County Clare. The headland is a Site of Community Importance under EU habitat designations. Sea cliffs, wildflower grasslands, and the peninsula’s dramatic western exposure create a landscape that is ecologically significant and visually extraordinary.
Pure Space is situated within this landscape, with access to the peninsula’s walks, coastal paths, and the famous Loop Head Lighthouse.
Accommodation and Activities
Pure Space offers eco glamping in cabins and bell tents alongside camping pitches, set within an enchanted woodland on the Loop Head Peninsula. The woodland setting creates a sheltered, intimate quality within the wider Atlantic landscape.
Yoga classes are available at the property, integrated into the retreat aspect of the offering. The combination of coastal landscape, woodland setting, and yoga practice makes Pure Space particularly well suited to guests seeking a genuine switch-off break.
The glamping accommodation ranges from self-catering cabins to bell tent camping, with the woodland providing natural shelter and a strong sense of connection to the surrounding habitat.
