Planning a staycation this summer? This five-star Kerry hotel should be on your bucket list

The recent sunny skies gracing long weekdays have us daydreaming of summer holidays.

Yes, the season for staycations is on the horizon, and when booking your weekend getaway, Kerry should be at the top of your list. More specifically, Sheen Falls Lodge.

Boasting stunning views of Kenmare Bay and the cascading Sheen waterfalls, Sheen Falls Lodge is located in Kenmare, on the Ring of Kerry and the Beara Peninsula. An ideal base for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way, the Lodge is set on a 300-acre estate with five thatched cottages for rental.

Having perfected the art of escapism, Sheen Falls offer a broad selection of activities ranging from salmon fishing and falconry to clay pigeon shooting, horse riding and golf at their sister property, The Ring of Kerry. There’s also an exceptional spa on-site and an array of superb dining options including The Falls Restaurant, The Stables Brasserie and the newly opened Nua Vista Restaurant.

The five-star Relais & Châteaux hotel features 60 rooms and 12 suites, and we’re giving away an overnight stay in a Deluxe Room with exceptional waterfall views and a full Irish breakfast for two people.

The generously sized Deluxe Rooms at Sheen Falls make for a handsome hideaway, whether you’re on a romantic retreat or a getaway with your very best friend. You can unwind in style as you sink into a plush armchair and gaze out at the River Sheen, listening to the rhythmic tempo of the water.

Each five-star Deluxe Room features a gorgeous blend of luxurious Irish furniture, fabrics and furnishings. Fashioned by local craftsmen and selected by their design team, these rooms are perfect for rest, romance or resetting your work-life balance.

Nestled between river and mountain, sea and sky, Sheen Falls Lodge is a luxury hideaway on Kenmare Bay.

After a long day of fun in the sun, tuck into the gourmet food offered at the hotel’s restaurants. The Stables Brasserie & Bar is housed in the beautifully reimagined stables with a bar and outdoor terrace – the perfect spot to refuel with picturesque views.
