If you love the outdoors, activity and wildlife but appreciate comfort, luxury and in a stress free environment.
The landscape is a natural haven for a wide range of animals, given emphasis at the same time to rejuvenation and a broadly-based approach to health, where activity, fitness, pampering and relaxation are blended to achieve a more finely tuned balance between mind and body.
To put in nutshell Ireland's best kept secret is the Delphi Spa - it has the soul of Ireland, the body of Scandanavia and the spirit of America.
If you've ever wondered what a five-star,
luxury hobbit hole would look like, look no further. Built from earth, rock and tree, with half-moon windows and a circular design, the Delphi Mountain Resort and Spa in Western Ireland offers as warm a welcome and as fine a meal as ever was offered by a hobbit. A roaring peat fire greets you on arrival and every window cleverly frames panoramas that could rival any of Middle Earth's scenery.
If you don't want to nestle in a nook with a pint of Guiness, or sweat it out in a dry-stone-wall steam room, or gaze up from the
hydro-pool to a star-lit canopy, or have one of the Eastern-inspired body treatments, then the great outdoors awaits you. For those of you that have ever dreamed of hiking across Connemara, galloping on horseback across a deserted sand beach, kayaking along Ireland's deepest
Fjord, catching salmon in some of the world's finest fishing rivers, or just merging with
some of the most unspoilt nature in Europe, then the Delphi is the place for you.
