Kilkea Castle
800 years of Irish elegance
One of the oldest still-inhabited castles in the country, this iconic resort is located just an hour away from Dublin and showcases the mystical charm and venerability of Ireland.
The medieval estate’s offerings include a sprawling hostelry, a picturesque golf club and superb dining facilities. Rooms maintain their historical significance, adorning floral patterns, marble bathrooms, and enjoying expansive views of the green countryside. In the dining room, guests can enjoy traditional Irish fare from the comfort of velvet upholstered seating.

Furthermore, the latest milestone in its 800-year history is a new state-of-the-art wellness hub, complete with its own hydrotherapy pool, Tylo Sauna and Biotec facials.
