Summer is definitely here; the sun has finally arrived and warm days stretch out into balmy summer evenings.

Make the most of the this summer with two spa packages from one of Northern Ireland’s most impressive resort spas, the Slieve Donard Resort & Spa in Newcastle, Co. Down.

A magnificent property in six acres of private grounds overlooking the sea, the Spa at the Slieve Donard Resort is one of the finest in Ireland.

Designed in conjunction with E’SPA, one of the world’s leading spa companies, and spread over two floors, it capitalises on spectacular panoramic views of the County Down coastline and Mountains of Mourne.

Flee the sticky, noisy city one summer night and indulge in a Summer Spirit Friday at the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa.

Enjoy overnight accommodation on Friday night in one of the Slieve’s beautiful resort rooms that offer stunning views of the coastline or mountains and take advantage of the luxurious pool, heat experiences and fitness suite in the fabulous Spa.

Begin your Saturday with full Irish breakfast and later, if the sun is shining, have the special treat of yoga and meditation or T’ai Chi on the lawns overlooking the Irish Sea – an unusually enjoyable way to stretch and relax, to a soundtrack of seagulls and the smell of freshly cut grass!

Otherwise enjoy your class indoors, in the sleek surroundings of the Zen Studio. Have a light lunch in Horizon Juice Bar and afterwards choose from the extensive Spa menu of any 55 minute treatment. A Summer Spirit Friday at the Slieve Donard costs just £155.00 per person based on 2 adults sharing.

The Summer Vitality package at the Slieve Donard can be taken on any day that suits you, consisting of overnight accommodation with full use of the luxurious pool, heat experiences and fitness suite, and full Irish breakfast in the morning.

Once you are set up for the day, take an Ulster scenic walk with an expert local guide around the Mourne Mountains and enjoy a picnic lunch in the glorious sunshine (fingers crossed!) or lunch in the Horizon Juice Bar on your return, and afterwards choose any 55 minute Spa treatment from the extensive menu. Summer Vitality at the Slieve Donard costs £165.00 per person based on 2 adults sharing.

So for true summer relaxation, escape the city to stroll along golden sands and gentle hills swept by bracing sea breezes and visit a Victorian icon with a 21st century Spa – the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa in Newcastle, County Down.
