    Powerscourt Springs Health Farm in Enniskerry is pure bliss.

    something closer to Dublin or even city centre based would be better. But thanks

    Look in the freebies thread in biz/consumer forum, there were free spa memberships.

    Fitzpatrick's hotel in Dalkey has a lovely poolside jacuzzi, sauna, steam room. And a nice restaurant too. Get a nice room with a good view. Ah, it's nice.

    i'd recommend it...

    http://www.thebuffdayspa.com/ <- Got my mam 150 quid worth of treatments there. They were very nice to me and she loved the experience.

    But best spa in Ireland: Bertie.

    Try Bay Spa in Tramore. Might be a bit far down but its a gorgeous spot and a very popular Spa with nice views of the Bay - nice B&Bs in the town and restaurants, good hotels in the city to.

    Mandala in la stampa is really nice if you want an escape from the city. However, the spa in Kilashee house hotel in Naas is class. Its a whole lot bigger and more luxurious. You also feel like your on a mini holiday, even though its only 35min from Dub. If I was buying a voucher for my mam, I'd go along myself aswell, I love it that much!!

    I've heard good things about the Mandala Spa at La Stampa aswell. The spa in The Merrion Hotel is meant to be nice too, as is the spa at the Four Seasons in Ballsbridge, but think you have to be a guest to visit them.

    You're the spa if you think it is bad to go somewhere you get massaged and relaxed and get to CHILL and have other people take care of you.

    I've never done it, but the whole concept seems wonderful...!:P
