Looking for a special rural spa break? Belfast is perhaps not the first location that might spring to mind, but situated just outside the city centre is a stunning spa retreat on the beautiful Causeway coastal route.
A tranquil spot set in 163 acres of pretty parkland with tumbling waterfalls and tranquil streams, this is a lovely place to head to for some fresh air and Northern Irish hospitality. Its masterpiece is an outstanding outdoor spa complex, unlike any other. Amidst an extensive selection of riverside hot tubs, indoor and outdoor heated pools, steam rooms, cryotherapy ice room and saunas, sits a truly fabulous ‘Thermal Spa Village’, complete with Jacuzzis, cold plunge pools, an array of saunas (both traditional and infra-red light) and even an Alpine-style salt room chalet. In fact, the area is so large it needs a map to navigate!
Guests can wander between these thermal treats, mingle with others in the outdoor gin bar beside the apple orchard (with the largest gin collection in Ireland and the UK – over 550 different kinds), or book one of the more private hot tubs with waterfall views of the picturesque River Maine, or cocoon themselves away more privately in one of six newly installed riverside cabanas.
