Éalú

 


Opening 10th October 2023


Deriving from the Irish word for 'escape', Éalú is a space to relax, rejuvenate, and reform – a place for individuals, couples, and the entire family to connect and escape from the stresses of everyday life.


As you arrive, allow the surrounding landscape to set the perfect tone for activity and action. The expansive waters of Lake Corrib and the rolling greens of the ancient woodlands create space for the mind and body to wander, encouraging your focus to turn inward.
