Spas & Signature Irish Treatments Chapter 9

Here I’ll tell you what Irish spas do to make it a ‘signature Irish treatment’, give you a brief example of the prices of treatments – although they differ between spas (so it is only an example) and in Chapter 5 I’ll give you a list of some of the best spas around.

The last thing newlyweds want is surf the internet for days or weeks to plan their relaxing vacation! A lot of hotels offer spa treatment packages

I’m going to help minimise the stress of understanding the Irish spa industry.

It takes so long to find the best spa treatments at the best prices. But many hotels offer packages including treatments and accommodation. Some hotels offer alternatives ranging from a moonlight paddle ($50) to rockclimbing and abseiling($50).

Call us with some location, ideas and budget suggestions so we can give you the best and most relevant information. Also, special offers change throughout the year so when you contact us we’ll be happy to keep you updated with any changes.

Incase you get tired of the socialising and feel like unwinding, as many couples plan to do during their honeymoon, let’s talk about pampering yourselves…

The ‘Braveheart’ & ‘Michael Collins’ routes, Co. Wicklow – Wicklow has been a hub for blockbuster movies for decades, including Braveheart & P.S I Love You. The are a number of epic driving routes through the dubbed the Garden County.

Irish spas have cutting-edge treatments and supplies from around the world, combining that with Ire-land’s trademark marine therapy, it has brilliant results. Tucked away in Ireland’s most tranquil spots, you’ll find some of the finest and most luxurious spas in the world here.

Irish spas are sanctuaries of calm and pampering that combine the nourishment of the island’s natural resources, such as mineral-rich seaweeds, with cutting-edge treatments from around the world. Marine cure therapy is one of Ireland’s most famous indigenous therapies.

Ireland has so many treatments to help you relax and enjoy your time together. Rang-ing from Seaweed Treatments to Thermal Suites and Peat Treatments.

Ireland has so many treatments to help you relax and enjoy your time together. Rang-ing from Seaweed Treatments to Thermal Suites and Peat Treatments.

The settings for these blissful breaks are also pretty special, and can range from an opulent castle dating back centuries to the very modern, super-glam boutique hotel.

It is worth knowing there are 4 of types of spas:

  • Day Spas
  • Resort Spas
  • Hotel Spas
  • Special Retreats

If you plan on travelling from place to place, book treatments in advance to avoid any unwanted surprises.

If you plan on staying in one hotel for your honeymoon, I have outlined over 20 accommodation expenses in ‘Chapter 4’.

There are so many spas in Ireland, here I’ve selected a few examples for prices.

Note: all prices include a diverse range of treatments, lengths and differ in extravagance. Some spas share similar treatments. Some spas use special brands for treatments.

The Cliff House Hotel, Co. Waterford

The spa has a spectacular view of Ardmore Bay
Facials ($83 – $123) (€73 – €109)
Massages ($61 – $150) (€54 – €133)
Doubles treatments ($72 – $167) (€64 – €148)
Outdoor bathing therapies ($39) (€33)
Arrival pampering ($16 – $83) (€14 – €73)

The Cliff House Hotel, Co. Waterford

Surrounded by the scenic Connemara Mountains which provides a beautiful, more wilderness look than The Cliff House.

They offer half-day and full day packages ranging from $106 to $290 for between 2.5 hours and 5.5 hours of treatments including body scrubs, massages, baths and thermal suite time – which is a secluded space with all your spa needs including fresh fruit, jacuzzi, steam room & sauna with a glorious mountain view. They also offer non-package treatments similar to those in the Cliff House.

The Lyrath Estate Hotel, Kilkenny

A different beauty to the others mentioned. It offers a simple, open view of the gardens.

They offer signature treatments ranging from $61 to $145. Package treatments range from $167 to $280, for 3 to 4.5 hours of treatments. Again – similar non-package treatments.

Now you know where to hear As Gaelic, what Irish dancing is, the traditional sports & why visiting Irish castles is so highly recommended. You should drive around if you want to experience the culture at its best. You have a better idea of what to expect from the social life and spas… Its a stroll in the park right?! Next you’ll gain an insight on the scenery – but there is nothing like seeing it in person!

About Ed


Hi.
My name is Ed short for Edgar. Mixed blood of Latvian and Ireland
I have lived in Mullingar town for most of my life. Traveling around the country is my favorite pass time activity, I have been to many places, and love to explore all the nooks & crannies of Ireland. The beauty of Ireland's landscape is unbelievable sometimes you feel like in a different country. From the serenity of the walk at Glendalough to the humbling feeling of being beside Cliffs of Moher is truly amazing to experience.
When I travel throughout Ireland the hospitality is the one thing that stood out most! Cork is my personal favourite as the people are so nice and welcoming my highlight was the Titanic experience where you feel like one of the passengers who are about to board the ship from the heartbreak pier that still stands to this day.
In Ireland you will always get the warmest welcome in any B&B. My other hobbies are cooking horse riding and fishing. I can’t wait to share the experiences with you for your Trip of a lifetime to this amazing Green Isle.
Sláinte (Cheers)

About Donna


Hey, my name is Donna and I'm from the town of Mullingar in the Heart of Ireland.

One of my passions is exploring and from my experience, Ireland is a beautiful country to explore. I have so many recommendations but for newcomers to Ireland I definitely opt to send you to Westport for Croagh Patrick & Clew Bay, perfect for hiking scenery and beautiful seafood, 

My favorite place in Ireland is Galway City - I love going for a meal with my friends, followed by a stroll down the cobbled streets, before popping into one of the Traditional Irish Pubs like  An Púcan.

About Rita


Hi, I’m Rita and I am living in Kilkenny, the Marble city.

Born in Portugal, I fell in love with Ireland from the moment I landed here. I intended to stay for 6 months, and 6 years after I just cannot imagine my life without the Irish ‘craic’. 

Working in Events & Tourism for the last years has been so rewarding - bringing people to see all the magical, undiscovered spots in this country is what I wake up for every day. I have made memories that will last a lifetime, and I work towards creating the same experiences for others visiting the Emerald island. 

My favourite place in Ireland is probably the Dingle Peninsula, where bumpy roads bring the Atlantic ocean and green mountains together. The seafood is just as brilliant as the landscape, which I couldn’t forget to mention, being the foodie that I am!

You could say I am biased when I pick Kilkenny as one of my other top spots - I just can’t get enough of this lively mediaeval city branded by its hospitality.

About Sinéad


Hey! My name is Sinéad. I'm from Longford, the heart of the midlands. I'm a countryside girl at heart, depsite living in the capital for a few years while studying. I love the hustle bustle of Dublin city centre, there's always so much going on and so much to do. Although, you can't beat the tranquility of the Irish countryside in my opinion!

Apart from my hometown, one of my favorite place in Ireland has got to be 'The Kingdom' (Kerry). The scenery is just unparalleled. From the idyllic wild Atlantic coasts to our selection of well-known mountain ranges, and everything in between. The ring of Kerry is definitely a must see, the nightlife is pretty great too!!

On my weekends I love to cheer on my local Gaelic football teams. I'd definitely recommend catching a GAA match on your travels!

About Jessica


Hi, my name is Jessica,

I'm from the town of Mullingar, known as the hidden heartlands of Ireland. Travel is my passion, every weekend I try to visit a few different counties here in Ireland and also explore new and exciting countries. Unfortunately there is just not enough time to visit everywhere I want too on our beautiful island of Ireland, Naturally the next best thing is to help make others dreams come true with the trip of a lifetime to our fair isle!

My two favorite places in Ireland is Galway and Kerry. They are full of great culture, food, scenery, and of course many traditional Irish pubs!! There is always a great lively buzz no matter what time of year you visit.

I look forward to working with many of you in the near future to offer my knowledge, guidance and support for your trip of a lifetime.

About Ronan


Hey!

My name is Ronan and I'm from Mullingar (the heart of the Midlands). I have a passion for travelling and have been all over the world. However, my most favourite place in the world is the west of Ireland along the Wild Atlantic Way. From seeing Basking sharks in Keem bay in Achill Island (Mayo), to having a lovely relaxing pint of Guinness in Salthill in Galway, to taking in the majestic Cliffs of Moher in Clare and kayaking alongside dolphins in Dingle bay (Kerry) - it's all just amazing. Oh, and not to forget the delicious Skellig chocolates while looking out at Skellig Michaeal in Kerry, yum!

I love all things sport and food - when I'm not travelling around Ireland I'm cooking up a storm in the kitchen and watching some local GAA (our national sport). I can't wait to help you out and make your trip to Ireland, the trip of a lifetime!

Céad mile fáilte mo chara - (A thousand welcomes my friend).
