New range of holistic treatments at the Dunloe

A new exclusive luxury treat - which is one hundred percent natural and handmade - has just been launched at the Dunloe Hotel & Gardens.
GROUND holistic treatments, designed by Peigín Crowley, is a collection of face balms and body oils that are natural, giving nourishment while helping to bring focus, ritual and intention into our mind and body.
The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens is proud to offer a team of veteran holistic therapists, who look forward to guiding you through your treatment experience, delivering unique body treatments featuring the artisan products from GROUND Wellbeing.
Where ‘time in nature’ is the greatest healer of all – The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens offers the most stunning location overlooking the Gap of Dunloe and Corrán Tuathail, encouraging walks through the private 64 acre estate with beautiful gardens. Then you are invited to surrender to a GROUND restorative ritual, created to encourage us all to ‘tóg go bog é’, to take it softly and to mind ourselves.
REPLENISH
GROUND Rituals at The Dunloe Hotel and Gardens have been created to celebrate the importance of taking space for sacred moments to mind yourself and be minded, to reconnect to source and replenish. Blending mindfulness - being fully present in our body - with breathwork, the power of touch, and the potent aromatherapy oils, GROUND Rituals will invite this awareness while encouraging a relaxed and peaceful state, a return to self.
“It has been a wonderful experience to launch GROUND ‘hands-on therapy’ rituals with The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens, especially as the hotel is bedded into such a spectacular natural landscape - lending itself beautifully to the notion of grounded rituals and wellness retreats for those looking to restore and reset, spending time in nature,” creative aromatherapist and GROUND founder, Peigín Crowley, said. "I am very proud to partner with such a gem in Killarney.”
There are four GROUND Rituals at The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens — The Grounding Full Body Massage (60mins - €90), The Grounding Ritual (60mins - €90 or 90mins - €150), The Restorative Face, Neck and Scalp Ritual (60mins - €90), and The Comforting Ritual (60mins - €90 or 90mins - €150 for pregnancy). Each GROUND Ritual includes gentle breathwork, hands-on rhythmical pressures and techniques, including Gua Sha stones and the compelling powers of aromatherapy oils. All these elements combine to create a mindful moment in time customised for you - a moment to be truly present in your body as you lean into relaxation and peacefulness.
GROUND Rituals are exclusively available at The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens and to reserve a spa treatment, please email treatments@thedunloe.com in advance of your arrival to avoid disappointment.

There’s hardly a Killarney home he hasn’t been to – but now DJ O’Driscoll has stood down from his duties.
Friday night marked delivery driver DJ’s retirement from the Killarney branch of Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets, a position he has held for the last 15 years.
On Friday night, colleagues from all three Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets stores gathered in the Killarney Height’s Hotel. DJ was also joined by his daughter and her partner for the special night.
“After almost 15 years of steadfast work with Corcoran’s, DJ has been a constant pillar of support for his colleagues and has helped the company go from strength to strength,” owner Kieran Corcoran said.
“Corcoran’s would like to wish DJ the very best of luck for the future and hoping that he enjoys his retirement. Many thanks to Killarney Height’s Hotel for hosting the staff night on Friday. A great night was had by all!”

Rowers pull together for Order of Malta

Members of Flesk Valley Rowing Club had a strenuous but successful morning on Sunday when they collectively rowed the distance from Malin Head to Mizen Head.
And it was all done indoors on rowing machines in support of the Killarney Order of Malta.
Just before 11am the Valley armada ‘left shore’, and approximately 40 members aged from 12 to 50ish set to their task with enthusiasm. By midday someone reckoned that Barack Obama’s Plaza had been reached but unfortunately there was no stop for tea, just a splash of holy water, a mouthful of Lucozade and a few jelly babies for the lucky ones!
As the kilometres clicked slowly by the temperature started to rise and the cry went up from the gasping veterans to open all the doors!
No such problems for the junior relay crews who had a fantastic morning rowing, laughing, and racing each other all the way to the finish.
The junior members who took on the half-marathon distance individually were amazing throughout and got stronger as the finish line came into view.
“We’re delighted with how the morning went,” Tadhg Kelly from Flesk Valley said.
“There was a great atmosphere in the venue, and we are grateful to all the parents and Flesk Valley supporters who came along to encourage our young and not-so-young rowers. It was great too to see the members of the Order of Malta in attendance to offer their support, and the club would like to thank everyone who donated on the day.”
Tadhg also expressed his thanks to the underage coaches and committee members for looking after everyone during the event. He especially wanted to mention everyone at Celtic Steps and the Killarney Racecourse for facilitating the club and Workmens Rowing Club and Glenflesk GAA for the use of their equipment.
