Newpark Hotel is encouraging everyone to truly take a break from the cares of the world and rest in an atmosphere of peace and serenity
How many times have you gone away for a weekend only to panic because you forgot your charger or accidentally packed the wrong USB lead and now you’re stuck sharing one charger with your partner?
It’s not ideal but as much as you might think you’re switching off, are you really? If your phone is vibrating and pinging with notifications as you eat lunch or stroll hand-in-hand around a picturesque location, chances are you’re going to check it as soon as you get a moment to yourself. You’re only human, after all.
Unfortunately, by doing that, you’re defeating the purpose of your break away. Your attention is divided and if one of you is more disciplined than the other, it’s probably going to lead to tension.
In today’s always-on world, Newpark Hotel Kilkenny is seeing an emerging trend of guests seeking rest not as a luxury, but as a necessary reset. In response, the hotel has curated a spa escape that reframes self-care as essential, combining restorative treatments, time in nature, nourishing food, and the chance to truly reconnect, with yourself and with loved ones.

The Restorative Retreat includes two nights bed and breakfast on the adults-only floor (surplus for hot tub rooms); including treatments, relaxation room and access to the award-winning Escape Spa facilities including the adults-only outdoor infinity pool and hydrotherapy suite; and a three-course dinner.
As an added bonus, guests on this package who check in their phones at dinner to spend quality time together will be rewarded with a complimentary glass of bubbles, making disconnection a way to spark true connection.
If you think this is the break for you, pricing starts from €219 per person sharing for a one night break or two nights from €389 per person sharing.
