History
Pontin's Trabolgan
Trabolgan first opened in 1948 by British holiday camp company, Pontin's. For this purpose, over 100 chalets, a dance hall and an outdoor swimming pool were built and was successful at the start and attracted British holiday makers.
Scoil na nÓg
Trabolgan was not successful and was converted into a boy's boarding school, called "Scoil na nÓg".
Trabolgan Holiday Village
In 1975, Trabolgan was purchased from Pontin's and turned into a Holiday Village once again.
