A spa in a castle. Need I say more? Ashford Castle is a medieval building close to Lake Corrib, in the west coast of Ireland. The construction began in 1228 and the Guinness family is among the many illustrious ones that have managed the property throughout the centuries. In the early 1900s, it became a luxurious hotel, with guest ranging from royals, as Rainier and Grace of Monaco, to celebrities (The Beatles and Brad Pitt have checked in).

Besides offering a lot of privacy and impeccable services, the resort is a great place for sports fans that can enjoy kayaking, horse riding, fishing, golfing and even falconry, one of the oldest activities dated.

But, the focus here is the spa, so let’s talk about the fancy therapies: hot stone and oil massages, Swedish massage, scrub with marine salt and algae extract, anti-aging facials and a detox that includes a vigorous massage followed by a deep relaxation, with Elemis products. The spa also has specific treatments for pregnant women and for athletes.

You will surely leave the place feeling pampered as a princess!
