Details

Join Hazel Buckley for a special winter weekend at Park Hotel Kenmare, overlooking Kenmare Bay and the Caha Mountains. Awarded Two MICHELIN Keys and a member of Relais & Châteaux and Ireland’s Blue Book, this beautiful five-star hotel brings together exceptional hospitality, acclaimed dining, remarkable art and a stunning spa.

Picture a slow January morning, an energising yoga practice, a leisurely breakfast and an afternoon with nowhere you need to be. Take a swim, enjoy a treatment, wander through the woodland or curl up beside the fire. This is a weekend to feel looked after, enjoy lovely company and make a little space for yourself.

Our Beautiful Setting:

Welcoming guests since 1897, Park Hotel Kenmare combines the character of a historic country house with thoughtful contemporary design. Original artworks, restored antiques and comfortable places to sit and linger make it a wonderful setting for a winter retreat.

The hotel feels wonderfully tucked away, yet the colourful streets of Kenmare are just a short stroll away. Nearby Reenagross Park offers woodland paths and waterside views, which we’ll explore together during our Saturday morning walk.

Choose from Classic or Heritage accommodation and enjoy two nights of comfort, with time to settle in and make the most of your surroundings.

Beautiful Food at Landline: 

Food is part of the pleasure of a weekend away, and we’ll gather for lunches and dinners in Landline, the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, featured in the MICHELIN Guide.

Led by Executive Chef James O’Sullivan, the kitchen celebrates seasonal ingredients from Kerry and the surrounding region. Our evening meals will be served in the Annie Morris section of the restaurant, giving us a lovely setting to come together after the day’s yoga and relaxation.

Two breakfasts, two lunches and two evening meals are included, with relaxed breakfast times so there’s no need to rush.

Please share any dietary requirements with Hazel when booking.

The Yoga

Hazel will guide you through a varied programme of yoga, pranayama and relaxation in the hotel’s yoga space.

Our practices will explore different areas of the body throughout the weekend: grounding through the legs on Friday, building heat through the core and arms on Saturday morning, exploring hips and flexibility later that day, and enjoying twists and heart-opening backbends on Sunday.

Saturday evening’s restorative yoga will offer time to settle into supported postures and deeply relax.

Classes are suitable for all levels, with modifications and variations offered throughout. Everything is optional — join as much as you wish and take the time you need to rest.

Landscape — time to slow down

The hotel’s beautiful new spa, Landscape, adds something particularly special to our weekend. Inspired by the surrounding Kerry landscape, it features a 25-metre indoor pool, outdoor bathing experiences, sauna and steam facilities.

We’ve deliberately left a generous stretch of Saturday afternoon free, giving you time to enjoy the spa and pool, book a treatment or simply rest. Treatments include experiences from Susanne Kaufmann and Irish skincare brand SEABODY.

Spa and pool use follows the hotel’s access and booking arrangements. Treatments are charged separately and advance booking is recommended.

Art, nature and time for you 

Art is woven throughout the hotel, with a private collection featuring artists including Sean Scully, Andy Warhol and Callum Innes. On Sunday morning, our private guided art tour will offer a chance to discover more about the collection and the works around us.

Alongside our yoga programme, Saturday’s woodland walk and Sunday’s art tour bring a little exploration and inspiration to the weekend — with plenty of space between sessions to enjoy the hotel at your own pace.

Come with a friend or come on your own. Whether you’re drawn to the yoga, the setting or simply the chance to take a proper break, you’ll be warmly welcomed.
