    Relaxation pool

    Within the striking bronze conservatory and overlooking Lough Corrib, the relaxation pool provides an area of calm and tranquility, with seated jets, unique seashell chandeliers and the 'Tree of Life' mural, stretching the length of the pool and symbolising Irish Celtic Mythology.

    The fitness suite

    With breathtaking, elevated views over Lough Corrib, the fitness suite is far from an average workout space. Floor to ceiling windows draw the spectacular scenery inside, where you'll find the latest life fitness equipment. A personal trainer will be on hand to create bespoke sessions according to your specific goals.

    Treatment room at the Spa

    Treatment rooms

    Five beautiful treatment rooms, including a couple's room, have been expertly designed to induce a sense of serenity the moment you enter.

    In keeping with the elegant style of the castle, they are the perfect place to enjoy an extensive collection of indulgent and results-driven treatments, from regenerating facials and refreshing scrubs to detoxifying wraps, and aroma and marine therapies. 

    The spa's Hammam treatment room

    Hammam

    In centuries past the Hammam was known as the ‘silent doctor’ – a place of cleansing and healing for both body and soul.

    Indulge yourself in traditional Middle Eastern treatments while your imagination takes you on a mystical journey into the past that traces its roots back to the Roman Thermae. 

    Essence infused steam room & lifestyle showers

    A traditional heat experience has been carefully designed with stone heated seats and walls with intense steam heat, and an infusion of eucalyptus to benefit breathing, aid relaxation and improve circulation. Designed to work with the unique Hammam environment, the steam room raises your body temperature and allows for a deep release, while the heated marble slab induces cleansing warmth.

    At this time...

    During these unprecedented times, if you would like to use a facility, a reservation needs to be reserved on the hour, for a period of 45 minutes. We would advise you to bring a bathing suit if you wish to use the relaxation pool, and gym attire for the fitness suite. 

    Facilities must be reserved in advance and we are limiting the number of guests using the facilities as a safety measure. Please come dressed in your robe and slippers or fitness attire. Towels will be supplied at the Spa.

    In the interest of safety, all guests experiencing spa treatments will have their temperature taken in advance of their Spa service.
