Spotlight on The Rabbit Hotel and Retreat

The name of this hotel and spa alone is intriguing, but step inside and it's a really special experience that's absolutely got to be enjoyed. New to Spabreaks.com this month, take a The Rabbit Hotel and Retreat.

A spa hotel with heritage

Perhaps one of the first things you should know about The Rabbit Hotel and Retreat, is that it's the sister hotel of the famous Galgorm spa destination - so you know you're in for a treat. That said, it's got its own unique style, from its Scandi-style bedrooms to its luxury details (a Nespresso Machine, Dyson Hairdryer and an amp for your chosen playlist in each room).

Bohemian luxury wellbeing

The spa at The Rabbit Hotel and Retreat is beautiful designed, with a Balearic vibe and at atmosphere that just makes you want to chill out, holiday style. The pivotal feature is the show-stopping Roman bath surrounded by palms, columns, cosy heated loungers and relaxing cabanas. Spend time roaming from the aroma steam room to the hot tub, Swedish sauna, and salt chamber in preparation for your spa treatment of choice.

Luxury spa treatments

Harnessing holistic powers, the spa treatments at The Rabbit Hotel and Retreat are too tempting for words. Using Germaine de Capuccini products, explore options like a Healing Obsidian and Onyx Massage, a Herbal Green Tea Massage, or an Energising and Warm Cinnamon Balm.

Foodie favourites

Some spas are for detox, other spa hotels are for simply enjoying great food. This is very much about tucking in. Food is about greta ingredients served with style, featuring Italian-American influences, whether you fancy pizza and pasta or something off the vegan or gluten free menus. After dinner, head to Hunter's Bar for cocktails and live entertainment from Thursday to Sunday.

A great hotel spa location

One of the other great things about The Rabbit Hotel and Retreat is that it's in a fantastic location in the heart of Templepatrick just 20 minutes from Belfast. That means it's easy to get to (just 10 minutes from Belfast International Airport), but it's also a great base for longer stays and exploring the surrounding area.
