Easter Holiday Break – Parknasilla Resort & Spa

Yes, Easter is early this year and it will still be on the nippy side, which means you need to choose your holiday break very carefully.  It would be nice to be close to beach and mountain walks, particularly if we experience an early heat wave (unlikely).  Equally you need to ensure that you can snuggle up indoors and still have lots of healthy activities to work off all those chocolate excesses that might come your way.

I couldn’t think of a better suggestion than the gorgeous Parknasilla Reort & Spa, Sneem, Co. Kerry. Here you have some of the purest air in Europe provided by the prevailing south west winds from the gulf stream.  There are fabulous beaches to walk along on the Kerry coastline as let’s face it you might not fancy having a swim this early in the year, unless you are one of those hardy folks!  There are any number of walking trails from Sneem to Derrynane.  There is even a 12 hole golf course on the Parknasilla Estate so you will be spoilt for choice for outdoor activities.

There are also lots of choices for accommodation at the Parknasilla Resort.  You can book a room in the hotel itself (that’s my preference) where all the facilities are right at hand, or you can go for a more family oriented stay with their very upmarket Courtyard Lodges on the grounds.  Either way you can still enjoy all the facilities, which include a superb Elemis Spa, complete with excellent size swimming pool; treatment rooms and gym.  The hotel itself has plenty of drawing and sitting rooms to chill out, enjoy a coffee and a good book and of course have a sneaky piece of chocolate!
