IRELAND
—This one-off spiritual escape captures the contagious energy of the Irish culture whilst unfolding ‘the Sea-road of the Saints’, a mythical west coastal journey from the 11th century. Experience the vast natural beauty of the rugged coastline and the exuberance and warmth of the locals with spontaneous and celebratory entertainment.
—From helicopter exploration to horse-drawn gypsy caravan, classic sports car to pony and trap, you’ll take in the cream of the western magical islands, verdant rugged valleys, towering cliffs, white-sand beaches and patchwork of bogs. Evening entertainment will include a private ceilidh with world-class dancers, and a local brouhaha with celebrated Irish folk musicians.
—For the first and final night, you’ll enjoy your own 12th century castle, luxuriously upgraded for your extreme comfort. Your second night will be spent in a romantic, remote customised boreen (traditional dwelling), specially upgraded to create an intimate and luxurious haven. After this weekend of fresh Irish air and festivities you’ll leave with colour in your cheeks, a sparkle in your eyes and a year's worth of good luck!
