New spa at Killaloe Hotel to open
Killaloe Hotel & Spa has recently been catapulted into conversations about health and wellbeing spurred by the opening of the newly established Sionna Spa this Thursday, July 28.
Given the amount of people looking for a different lived experience since the pandemic unearthed our vulnerabilities in high density urban environments, and the opportunities offered by remote or blended working -relocation to somewhere beautiful with a fantastic standard of living is now a real option for those looking for something better.
Seamus Leahy one of the owners explained his vision for the beautiful 4-star waterfront boutique hotel. He explained: “The hotel recognised the need for a targeted and dedicated offering and we have put considerable effort into successfully revitalising both food and drink menus to consider the freshest of produce, with the least amount of waste possible. Now we can offer this wonder-ful provision to all the people who live here, and to those in close proximity that come out for a weekend break, or just a day trip. We are very focused on not just the tourist provision but on the local community and supporting that.”
Leveraging the position of the superbly located Killaloe Hotel & Spa. yoga and meditation classes run weekly in the tranquil gardens will certainly help support Killaloe’s image as being a place to come and relax.
Peter Doyle the newly arrived General Manager is hopeful that the Sionna Spa can be a catalyst to create a more authentic offering in the broader communities of Limerick, Clare and Tipperary.
He commented: “Having spent my life in the industry I have a deep appreciation for a truly unique offering, which was what copper fastened my decision to join the team here in Killaloe. The MHL Hotel Collection and Adare Manor gave me a lot of experience on how to deliver customised high-end service and I’m looking forward to the challenges this new role will bring as there is great po-tential here. It is incredible to see how people’s lifestyles and focus have changed in regard to health and wellbeing, the outdoors and in maintaining a balance in their lives. I include myself in this and part of my decision was the proximity to home and being able to get back to read my own children a bedtime story or join my wife for lunch served al fresco on the lake makes life very worthwhile. This community has always been forward thinking and we can support this through local job creation, better quality food offerings, meditation and yoga offerings and just beautiful unique experiences in a community built looking for something better.”
