They made us believe that luxury was the rare, the expensive and the exclusive. Now we realise that luxury is being together, that it’s slowing down to relax and reconnect with the mind and the body. Commanding an enviable position on the beautiful Causeway coastal route and within 163 acres of lush parkland, is the prestigious Northern Irish retreat property of Galgorm.

Exclusively for everyone, guests enjoy the tranquility of this lush Ballymena countryside and riverside setting and experience pure relaxation within an extensive selection of riverside hot tubs, indoor and outdoor heated pools, steam rooms and saunas. Galgorm which sits on the banks of the River Maine, is Ireland’s first choice for both business and pleasure.

Luxurious accommodation comes as standard, with the resort offering 125 bedrooms including suites, deluxe and superior rooms. Warm tones and rich hues epitomise the space, comfort, and style of each room. Deluxe guest rooms with their marble bathrooms, are beautifully proportioned with inspiring views overlooking either the multi award-winning Thermal Spa Village or views of the pretty woodlands and lush countryside beyond.

The showstopper is Galgorm’s Signature Suite. It makes for the perfect bridal accommodation, with a luxe, spacious, and separate living and dining area, its ideal for a rehearsal dinner. Following the celebrations or during an indulgent wellbeing escape, take in the panoramic views of the Thermal Village at twilight from the suite’s private hot tub located on the large expansive terrace.
