Heat experience
The experiences on offer have their roots in cleansing and beautifying the body. They originate from cultures dating back thousands of years.
Sanarium
This is a luxurious timber chamber combining the traditional pleasures of the Scandinavian sauna with the added benefit of steam infusion, mood lighting and background music. The ‘softer climate’ will allow you to spend longer in the cabin so the heat can deeply penetrate the body and soothe joints and muscles.
Tepidarium
In the Roman Spa the Tepidarium was a lukewarm lounging area usually located in the opulent hall of the spa. It gave spa bathers the opportunity to unwind whilst watching the world go by.
Caldarium
A 2000-year-old Roman tradition. The floor, benches and walls are heated offering a dry, warm environment for perspiring and cleansing the pores. Cocoon yourself in the aromatic vapors and allow the stresses of the world to drift away.
Steam bath
A humid heating sensation also known as a Turkish or Roman Steam Bath. Particularly beneficial for the respiratory system. The heat in combination with essential oils helps induce a state of deep relaxation.
Rustic sauna cabin
A Finnish tradition offering intense dry heat. An authentic copper kettle disperses aromatic water over the coals to create warmth and essence in the cabin. This large rustic space offers an ideal environment to unravel your mind and rest tired, aching muscles.
Hydro experience
As two thirds of the human body is comprised of water it is no surprise that we are naturally drawn towards this nurturing natural element.
Open-air hydro-pool
With water fountains for shoulder and neck massage, air loungers for full body massage plus individual jetpacks tailored to specific hydrotherapeutic needs, this is the ideal way to relax whilst breathing in the fresh Irish country air.
Foot baths
Offering a gentle relaxing reflexology massage to soothe and stimulate the feet. Aromatic salts are provided to offer a variety of sensations and therapeutic effects.
Cooling experience
It is important to cool down after using one of the heat experiences. Cooling the soft tissues not only moderates your body temperature, it invigorates the body and stimulates the nerve endings leaving you feeling refreshed and energised.
Ice fountain
Gently apply crushed ice onto the body to counteract the warming effects of the heat experience.
Experience showers
Fabulous showers offering a multi sensory experience to help cool the body, from soft tropical rain to invigorating ice rain. A waterfall shower, bucket douche, body shower and Kneippe hose complete the experience.
Resting zone
Lie back and relax as you take some time out in the ‘Resting Zone’. Sip a cold beverage to hydrate as you appreciate the breathtaking country views.
