Spa Guide

Despite containing more than half the population of the Republic of Ireland, Leinster is far from crowded. The province is a series of mini-regions, all distinctive in their geography, culture, and attractions. One can visit the bustling city of Dublin or the leisurely Wicklow countryside, also known as the "Garden of Ireland."

In addition to the standard hydrotherapies of Ireland, many Leinster spas also offer cryotherapies (which use a cold, sea-based solution) or a variety of algotherapies made up of algae indigenous to Ireland.

When touring the province of Leinster, you can see the appreciation of nature that has long been incorporated into the local culture. Boyne Valley contains Neolithic ruins such as Newgrange, a 5,000-year-old tomb illuminated internally each year by the sunrise of the winter solstice. Spa-goers can also walk along the Cooley peninsula, which is said to be the ancient route that the mythological pre-Celtic lords of Ireland took to battle.
