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.

About the experience in: Killadoon, Ireland

Loved my experience at BigStyle! All the staff and volunteers were really kind and there was not a single day when I would not feel welcome. The work itself is easy and all the perks like sauna, surf and yoga lessons are absolutely worth it. I won’t forget the stunning views and the most relaxing summer break I’ve ever had. I would definitely have stayed longer if I could <3

I had the absolute best time at Big Style Lodge. It was my first volunteering experience and now I’m scared that the bar has been set too high and no other place will ever be this good! The location, lodge and people were all amazing and I actually wish I had stayed longer because I was really enjoying my time there. Paco, Paddy and Tori were all really attentive, kind and fun and I had a great time getting to know them and the other volunteers. Highly recommend this experience <3

If you're longing for wild landscapes, salt or your skin, deep connection, and purposeful days - this is your place. BigStyle is a little pocket of magic! I was met with kindness, warmth, and space to simply be myself.
Arrived open and curious, but left with a full heart and deep gratitude - the journey that inspired me in ways I didn't expect.
To Paco, Paddy, Luke, and Tori, and to all the loveliest volunteers - you made this experience so, so incredibly special. Thank you with all of my heart, for making me feel at home!
I'd truly love to return someday and experience it all over again.

I really loved teaching yoga at Big Style! The lodge is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views that made every day special. I truly enjoyed connecting with the guests and fellow volunteers.
Tori, one of the managers, was incredibly welcoming, approachable, and such a positive presence. With most of the team being men, she brought a unique energy.
The general vibe is super relaxed you're encouraged to match the level of care and effort modeled by the team, which creates a laid-back and low-pressure environment.
