Hot oil massages at Ireland’s coolest boutique hotel

Chill Spa at the Ice House hotel in County Mayo is adored by cosmopolitan travellers and spa enthusiasts alike, thanks to its stunning setting on the River Moy, with panoramic vistas from the treatment rooms across the water, over to the woods beyond.

This cutting-edge hotel has introduced an exciting new spa treatment for summer 2010 – the Hot Oil Massage.

Available individually, or as a couples’ package for a spot of exotic indulgence, you can enjoy this one hour massage using a natural candle with Shea Butter, Andiroba Oil, Essential Oil of Petit Grain, Verbena and Lavender. When lit the creamy candle morphs into a precious massage oil which is luxuriously smothered over the body.

Afterwards, you can make full use of the fabulous facilities in this state-of-the-art spa, including Laconium, steam room, heated mosaic loungers and outdoor spa garden with two fabulous hot tubs where you can soak up the views in style.

In the evening, enjoy a meal in the award-winning Pier Restaurant and drinks at the fashionable bar before retiring to your chic room.

Treat yourself to a two-night spa break at the Ice House in a sumptuous deluxe room for just £266 per person sharing including one sixty-minute spa treatment and unlimited use of the Chill Spa, as well as breakfast each morning, one Tapas on the Terrace dinner, and Afternoon Tea with bubbly on arrival.

Fly to nearby Knock Airport, with flights from Aer Lingus as little as £25 per person* and you’re just a short drive away from Ireland’s coolest hotel.
