Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LAKE

Paddle Lough Macnean’s islands

Begin with a guided self‑directed kayak outing on Lough Macnean: staff brief you, fit you with a wetsuit and buoyancy aid, point out route options on a map, and let you explore the lake and its islands for about two hours.

THE SPA

Secluded Forest Eco Spa

After paddling, retreat to an exclusive spa set in forest beside the lake—yours until 17:00—complete with a wood‑fired hot tub, a sauna with panoramic views and a relaxation pod stocked with complimentary drinks and snacks.

THE BALANCE

Gentle activity, complete relaxation

This full‑day offering intentionally pairs a gentle outdoor activity with extended, private time in the spa to soothe the mind and rejuvenate the body amid lakeside woodland.

What the day feels like

How the day feels

The rhythm is deliberately simple: arrive for kayak hire and equipment at midmorning, spend roughly two hours exploring Lough Macnean at your pace, then return to hand back equipment and move downstream into an afternoon of uninterrupted spa time—steam, warm water and quiet forest views until late afternoon.

Suitability
