Inchydoney Luxury Hotel Cork- Media reviews and Comments

Accommodation West Cork

Luxe Lodgings and Foodie Fun

Cork News, Friday 24th June 2011

In Ireland you have to take your fresh air when you can get it, fine weather or no. That's why, morning and evening, rain or shine, you'll always find people on Inchydoney beach, but it's not always the sand and the surf that attracts them. Towering above the strand, pretty balconies saluting the sea, the Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa offers luxury lodging to those who wish to make a weekend of it. Voted Ireland's Leading Spa Resort 2010 at the World Travel Awards and Ireland's Leading Resort 2009 at the Irish Hospitality Awards, the hotel is famed for its world-class spa facilities, but its heated seawater pool, open to all guests, provides all the therapeutic effects of an ocean dip, but without the numbing cold.

After breakfast, brew up a coffee using your in-room Nespresso machine, then retreat to your private balcony for a birds-eye view of the windsurfing, kitesurfing and bodyboarding masses that descend on Inchydoney beach every day of the week.

For those who'd rather survey the crashing waves and smell the sea air from afar, take a table in the cosy bar or curl up with a book in what must be one of the most luxurious and peaceful resident's lounges in Cork. Read more at here

High on weed at Inchydoney

The Irish Times - Saturday, April 23, 2011 - ETHICAL TRAVELLER: CATHERINE MACK on responsible tourism

IT IS NO secret that Ireland has some of the world’s finest weed. Not only that, it is in plentiful supply, cheap and and it’s a superfood. The weed is, of course, seaweed, and anyone who has had a seaweed bath will not need convincing as to its benefits.In terms of sustainability, seaweed is also a no brainer, and so it is exciting to see that the Inchydoney Island Lodge and Spa in West Cork (inchydoneyisland.com) has created a two-night “Seaweed Experience” package which has you living and breathing the stuff. And not just within the confines of a spa either.

Realising that many people are now looking for a low-impact, green, activity-based break, not just a lie in the spa, drink and eat all weekend sort of a break, Inchydoney may inspire others to follow suit and get their guests teaming up with local, green activity providers, nature experts and guides.

An excerpt from the American guidebook Michele Erdvig's Ireland Dream Trip

When the sun shines and the tide is low the sweeping vistas and sea-sculpted shore is pure heaven. Inchydoney Island Lodge and Spa provides a unique escape to the wild shore of West Cork. How blissful to fall asleep to the whisper of the waves on the shore and wake to the cry of seabirds and the scent of the sea. © 2011 Michele Erdvig Read more at http://www.irelandyes.com/
