Things to Do
Dunbrody Spa
Located across the courtyard in an original stone building and
with a contemporary interior of wood and natural stone, the Spa
at Dunbrody will make guests feel cocooned and at ease from the
moment they arrive. The treatment area is a luxurious haven complete
with a gulfstream hydrotherapy pool, Asian styled serial steam
room, relaxation room with day beds, and a spa studio for manicures
and facials.
The spa offers a unique gourmet
experience alongside its Molton Brown therapies. Guests can flavour
their spa visit with a new range of delicious delicacies designed
to be taken between treatments: think strawberries and tarragon
chilled soups, champagne and lavender sorbets, citrus salad with
toasted pinenuts and exotic iced fruit. In Winter think chocolate
fondues!! Created by Irish Chef of the Year, Kevin Dundon, these
delights are created to deliver the ultimate sensory experience.
The acclaimed restaurant, Harvest Room, will also serve a distinctive
spa menu with local flavours.
From the moment guests enter
the calm and serene environment of the Dunbrody Spa, they will
be able to enjoy an array of adventurous therapies designed exclusively
by Molton Brown. Treatments will be healing and therapeutic,
restoring the natural state and purifying the mind from the clutter
of modern living. The spa environment will give visitors time
to drift away and dream, using elemental ingredients which are
both potent and exotic. Star therapies include: the shiatswe
body massage – a combination of Swedish and shiatsu techniques;
the rose quartz crystal body dynamic massage to harmonise energy;
the lifeforce facial with rosa mosqueta oil for the ultimate
nourished, toned and dewy skin; and the equilibrium facial for
men.
