Sheen Falls Lodge

Amidst heather-covered mountains, Sheen Falls Lodge is a luxury hotel is a 300-acre estate just outside of Kenmare. Providing an idyllic location overlooking Sheen Falls, and mixed with Irish hospitality, the Relais & Chateaux hotel provides a perfect base for exploring the Ring of Kerry, Ring of Beara, and the southwest coast of Ireland.

Sheen Falls Lodge has guest rooms and suites within the main lodge, as well as multiple private villages and cottages with traditional Irish styling, including some with thatched roofs. The guest rooms and suites feature classic furnishings, views of the Sheen Waterfalls or Kenmare Bay, as well as window seats and fireplaces in select rooms.

The Falls Restaurant is a recipient of two AA rosettes and serves a seasonal menu of locally-sourced Irish cuisine. Considered one of the area's finest restaurants, the chef-created menu changes to highlight local produce and modern Irish cooking. The Sun Lounge serves three-tier Afternoon Tea, and there's a cocktail bar with fine wines and spirits.

The Eassana Spa is a destination for head-to-toe relaxation with a variety of massages, facials, and holistic treatments that utilize organic Irish products. Within the spa there's also an indoor heated pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, and fitness center.

Within the estate, guests can explore a private art gallery, or fish for salmon along a private section of the River Sheen. There are pathways for walks along the rivers and woodlands, bicycles for use, horse riding, clay pigeon shooting, guided hawk walks, kayaking, and photography excursions.
