Big Style Atlantic Lodge

Welcome to the BigStyle Atlantic Lodge, our favourite place to be in the world!

Bigstyle is an adventure watersports company founded in 2013, and is now best known for our Atlantic Lodge in Co Mayo. From here we host regular weekend retreats offering watersports and outdoor adventure, delicious veggie food, yoga, gigs, campfires and all sorts of craic. All set on the spectacular views of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Coming to work with us will see you in a variety of tasks - housekeeping, kitchen hand, customer relations. You will also get the opportunity to work with us on our famous Big Slice nights making sourdough pizza in our purpose built wood fired pizza oven.

In your down time you will have access to surf equipment and are within easy reach of some of Ireland’s finest surf and kitesurfing spots. If watersports aren’t your thing we have lots of hikes, walks and chill out spots to take advantage of.

The company was built through our love of the outdoors and our want to find an alternative living lifestyle to escape from city life. As a volunteer you will become part of the team and will be part of helping us build a dream that we have turned into reality. If you are keen to experience the outdoors and the West of Ireland then coming to stay with us is an easy choice.

BigStyle was such a wonderful experience, I had a great time at the lodge :)
The people who manage the place are really kind and welcoming! The tasks were reasonable, never took much time and I had loads of time to explore the area around, walk to different beaches and go surfing. BigStyle is a beautiful place to enjoy nature, to live and be. Hope to be back one day!

Elina was a really enthusiastic, kind and thoughtful member of our team for the month of March. We really enjoyed having her on the team and we’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a work exchange in the future.
Best of luck with you course in agriculture and we’ll see you soon I hope!

I had a great time at BigStyle! The location is absolutely beautiful and the staff is super friendly. I’d recommend this volunteering position to anyone looking to learn how to surf and enjoy nature, pints of Guinness and a slower pace of life :)

I don’t know how this experience could’ve been any better. It really exceeded any expectations that I had. I settled in within day & felt very comfortable. The location is stunning, and I made some of the greatest connections with my fellow housemates. There is so much opportunity to practice surfing, engage with locals, and overall slow down. Big Style set the bar very high & I am so grateful to have experienced the amazing place that it is. I hope to be back :)
