Inside the Serene Castle Spa at Dromoland

Nestled within the historical embrace of the 16th-century Dromoland Castle in County Clare, The Castle Spa at Dromoland is the latest jewel in Ireland’s wellness crown. Here, the grandeur of ancient stone walls meets the allure of modern wellness, providing an oasis where sensory serenity, history, and luxury converge.

Sprawling over a generous 320 sq ft, the spa, which threw open its doors in June 2023, promises an experience that effortlessly marries the old with the new. At its heart is the legacy of Lady Ethel, one of Dromoland Castle's most cherished guardians. An embodiment of resilience, innovation, and an unwavering belief in the nurturing power of nature, Lady Ethel's spirit infuses every corner of the spa. From the six meticulously designed treatment rooms, including a twin suite for those shared moments of relaxation, to the tranquil aura of The Whisper Room and the healing energy of the Amber and Quartz Crystal Bed - there's a touch of history and elegance at every turn.

But The Castle Spa is not one to rest on its historical laurels. Demonstrating an avant-garde approach to wellness, it recently unveiled an exclusive collaboration with SEABODY, the Kerry-based beauty and wellness powerhouse. This partnership gives patrons exclusive access to the SEABODY Beauty and Wellness Spa Experience. Drawing from the potent marine-based nutraceuticals of Ireland’s Atlantic coastline, SEABODY offers an immersion into holistic beauty.

Dr. Helena McMahon, co-founder of SEABODY said: “We are delighted to partner with The Castle Spa at Dromoland to launch the SEABODY Beauty and Wellness Spa Experience with our shared ethos of the highest standards in customer journey, luxury and sustainability. Knowing the combined power of touch, nutrition, movement and breathwork, we collaborated with holistic aestheticians and therapists to create a truly unique holistic treatment offering, where biotechnology, natural molecules and therapies work in harmony. The treatments deliver immediate results in the Spa complemented by a bespoke home care regimen as part of the SEABODY journey to full body wellness.”

And SEABODY isn't alone in elevating the spa's offerings. The Castle Spa also celebrates an exclusive association with aesthetics maven, Dr. Barbara Sturm, known globally for her pioneering work in anti-inflammatory treatments. With yet another elite brand partnership slated for revelation in August, the spa is poised to be a confluence of the world's best in beauty and wellness.

At its essence, The Castle Spa champions a blend of traditional philosophies and modern techniques. Ingredients harvested from Dromoland’s vast 500-acre estate complement handpicked products from beauty industry pioneers. The result? A symphony of treatments that cater to the body, mind, and soul.
