Mayo hotel wins Best Hotel Spa in Ireland at annual global awards

The Spa at Ashford Castle has been named Ireland’s Best Hotel Spa for a seventh consecutive year at the annual World Spa Awards.

With voting cast by both industry experts and consumers, The Spa at Ashford Castle emerged victorious from a 2022 shortlist that included eight outstanding Irish hotel spas.

The Spa at Ashford Castle is widely recognised for its beautiful, relaxing facilities, including five treatment rooms, a relaxation pool, steam room and a terrace area that offers unrivalled views across the tranquil waters of Lough Corrib.

With a treatment menu that includes an invigorating hammam, not often found in Ireland, The Spa at Ashford Castle uses luxury Irish products from Voya, Red Carnation Hotels’ own B|Africa product range, along with the renowned Elemis range and the family-owned Spanish brand, Natura Bissé.

Michelle Ryan, spa manager at Ashford Castle, said: “We are immensely proud of the spa experience we offer guests at Ashford Castle but nevertheless, to win this global award once again is an honour, an incredible achievement and a testament to our team. A visit to The Spa is a real treat and so many guests tell us just how fantastic they feel after a treatment.

“I believe that feeling comes from experienced therapists, exceptional products, a soothing ambience and the beautiful surrounds of the Ashford estate. The experience is truly unique.”
