Cork’s Coolest Spa Experiences

When it comes to unwinding in style, Cork has plenty of spa experiences that are anything but ordinary, from chocolate-infused massages to salt therapy sessions!

The Montenotte Hotel's Bellevue Spa - A Salt Room Sanctuary

The Bellevue Spa elevates relaxation with the introduction of Cork's first-ever salt room. After indulging in their signature grounding ritual—where the soothing sounds of Tibetan singing bowls set the tone—you can recline in the halotherapy chamber.

Here, salt-infused air works wonders on respiratory and skin health, making it a perfect post-treatment retreat. The Salt Room experience is available as a stand-alone 40-minute wellness treatment, Monday to Friday from 9 am, priced at €45 per person.

Zero Gravity Float Cork

Imagine floating effortlessly in a pod filled with warm Epsom salt water, free from external distractions. At Zero Gravity Float Cork, this dream becomes a reality. Their state-of-the-art floatation therapy offers a unique escape from the stresses of daily life, promoting deep relaxation and mental clarity.

A single 60-minute float session is priced at €65, with monthly membership options available for €49, offering additional perks. Post-float, unwind in their cosy relaxation room with a selection of herbal teas, extending your experience.

Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa - Warm Seawater Pool

Located along the West Cork coastline, Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa has a heated seawater therapy pool that's truly one-of-a-kind. Seawater is pumped daily from the Atlantic Ocean into the pool and heated to 31 degrees Celsius.

Swimming in this mineral-rich water opens the pores, allowing the absorption of nutrients, while various jets and bubble seats offer a complete underwater workout. Children's hours are designated from 10:00 am to 12:40 pm and from 2:40 pm to 5:20 pm, ensuring a peaceful (and fun!) experience for all guests.

Fota Island Resort - Chocolate Treatments

For those with a sweet tooth, Fota Island Resort offers a sensuous chocolate massage that's both decadent and therapeutic. This 60-minute treatment uses cacao, known for its powerful antioxidant properties, mixed with essential oils to revitalise the skin and soothe the senses.

Post-massage, indulge in a chocolate mousse while relaxing in the spa. The resort also offers packages that include overnight accommodation, breakfast, and the chocolate massage, making for a comprehensive and very indulgent escape.​

Why not treat yourself to one (or all) of these unique spa adventures? Your mind, body, and spirit will thank you.
