If you’re planning a weekend away, it’s worth knowing which hotels offer great spa treatments …

I really love the Castle Spa at Dromoland – the therapists there are exceptional and the attention to detail is second to none, not to mention they have the most beautiful robes in the world! A good rule of thumb: if a spa offers Ground Wellbeing treatments, you know you’re in great hands. @thecastlespaatdromoland

The same applies to Elemis – we tried out a brilliant Elemis facial at Anantara The Marker Dublin recently; see the review in THE GLOSS Magazine out on May 7. @anantarathemarkerdublin

Here are 5 more great hotel spa treatments to treat yourself to:

DUBLIN 2

The five-star Fitzwilliam, Dublin, overlooking Stephen’s Green, has a new in-room wellness sound bath experience.

BOOK NOW … If you’re staying overnight, add on one of two in-room sound bath experiences, designed by sound healer, breathwork specialist and Reiki Master Audrey O’Connor, founder of Core State. The morning sound bath is designed to energise and focus travellers, while the evening session has been created with jetlag and deep rest in mind, gently supporting the nervous system and preparing you for a restorative night’s sleep. Each In-Room Reset stay includes an eye pillow, an Irish-made pillow spray from Kotanical, and a journal and pen.

MAKE TIME FOR dinner in the hotel’s pretty-in-pink restaurant, Glover’s Alley. An overnight stay with full Irish breakfast starts from €319; the In-Room Reset from €379. @thefitzwilliamdublin

DUBLIN 8

Velvaere Spa in Dublin is a hidden gem of a spa, bang in the centre of Dublin, as part of the Radisson Blu hotel.

BOOK NOW … Codage treatments – some new ones are about to launch, and every previous one I’ve tried from this French brand has been top-notch; 30-minute treatments from €65, one hour from €130.

MAKE TIME FOR the lovely sauna and thermal pool. And a meal in the evening at Old Town Wine Bar – also a hidden gem that does great tapas and small plates to go with a wide selection of wines. @velvaerespa

CO MAYO

The Ice House has a prime location on the River Moy, and a lovely relaxed atmosphere; the hotel doubles almost as an art gallery, displaying owner Pearse Farrell’s collection of the finest Irish artists, such as Hughie O’Donoghue.
