Ancient Arabian rituals to discover at this spa hotel in Cavan
1/4
Loose yourself in the opulent Ciúin Spa at the grand Slieve Russell Hotel, where the hydrotherapy suite is filled with experiences to help stresses melt away. This adult-only haven has a whirlpool, foot baths, a salt grotto, herb-infused sauna and a steam room with invigorating showers and an ice fountain to cool off afterwards.
Extend your afternoon of pampering with treatments such as detoxifying wraps or soothing massages that use warm lava shells. Or how about a facial involving light therapy to help rejuvenate your complexion? For an all-encompassing experience, book the exotic steam temple (there’s room for two) for a traditional Arabian ritual. Lie under the starry ceiling for a salt scrub exfoliation followed by a body painting of therapeutic mud, sourced from the Austrian Alps. The temple will then be filled with scented steam that gently cleanses and detoxifies before the mud is washed away under a rainfall shower. There are nourishing rituals for hands and feet too, and soothing facials designed just for teens and men. The spa also offers special treatments using organic products for mums-to-be and those undergoing treatment for cancer.
If you can bear to leave the comfortable cushioned loungers of the relaxation suite, the hotel offers 300 acres of County Cavan countryside (dotted with 50 acres of serene lakes) to wander through. There is also a championship-standard 18-hole golf course. To satisfy your appetite after spa or sport, the hotel has three restaurants where you can order dishes like baked Atlantic salmon or Irish fillet steak for dinner.
Wrap yourself up in a soft bathrobe in your room with views across the soft landscape. Each space is decorated in soft tones with accents of colour and plush fabrics. A refined marble bathroom adds a sense of serenity and comes with Elemis toiletries, so you can continue the spa experience – you can even soak in a Jacuzzi tub in the executive suite.

A wander through the waters of the Kneipp Walk will help ease aching muscles with alternating temperatures and massaging pressure jets. Finish with a refreshing snail shower that includes a cool mist, or brave the invigorating ice fountain!
Therapists use world-renowned ESPA and Yon-Ka products to relax and rejuvenate. Choose from scrubs, facials or massages (including one that focuses on mindfulness to unwind busy brains with breathing and visualisation techniques). There are also specialist massages and facials for men and pregnant women, as well as energy-balancing treatments for those who are living with cancer.
Spend a decadent afternoon sipping tea and nibbling on homemade fruit scones in the Music room. In the evening, visit the two AA rosette-awarded Cedar Rooms restaurant for dishes made with locally sourced ingredients such as estate wood-smoked chicken.
