Key Features

Unique 'Beltane Experience' set around a sunken fire and a 12 person hot tub
Beautifully designed facilities including a thermal village and River House on stilts above the river

The power of the location at Galgorm Resort and Spa is not to be underestimated. It’s a spectacular setting and the hotel and spa really make it shine at its brightest. The spa is described as a thermal village, providing the ultimate in luxury relaxation. There’s a pool, orangery, Celtic sauna where they offer unique wellbeing rituals, a snow cabin and sanarium, as well as the River House for classes, which is raised on stilts with views over the cascading River Maine. There’s a snail shell shaped experience shower, an infinity hydrotherapy pool, outdoor hot tubs with views of the waterfall, a multiplicity of saunas and they offer a unique 'Beltane Experience' where you relax around a sunken fire with friends before enjoying a dip in the 12 person hot tub.

Experts in their field, the treatments at this spa are as impressive and extensive as the facilities, often incorporating the two. Holistic treatments have a results driven edge using the famed VOYA products, derived from local seaweed. There is a powerful fusion of wellbeing and indulgence in everything the spa does, and it’s always tailored to you and your needs.

Key Features

A restaurant with three AA rosettes
Spectacular location in 163 acres of lush parkland and overlooking the River Maine
Five star resort with suites, rooms, cottages or cabins to stay in
30 minutes from Belfast, making for a convenient escape mid-week or at the weekend

Galgorm Resort and Spa is a very special kind of spa hotel that has redefined much of what it means to combine both wellbeing and luxury. Set in 163 acres of lush parkland with the spectacular River Maine flowing through the estate, it's a little bit of magic on the north Antrim coast. Whether you stay in one of the suites, rooms, cottages or cabins, the hotel combines a sense of history and contemporary design, always with first class style at its heart.

There are three restaurants at the hotel. The River Room embodies the ethos of Galgorm with no less than three AA rosettes for culinary excellence. Meanwhile, the Fratelli Restaurant is a pizzeria and bar that oozes rustic Italian charm, and the Gillies Grill is a favourite amongst guests and locals alike. It serves classic brassiere dishes, a grill selection and Asian-inspired creations with a warm and relaxed ambience and charming views of the resort’s stables. Of course, afternoon tea is a must-have experience, proudly and magnificently served in the River Room Conservatory.

My experience with Galgorm manner was amazing! The staff couldn't have been more helpful, they were great! The spa had everything I needed and more! I was so impressed! My only wish was that I had known a large drink could be added to my lunch for an extra £1 and dessert could have been added for £4 as when I left the spa to go to the restarunt in my rove I didn't gave money with me as so had prepaid. In hone sight I wish I had a little money in my rove so I could have taken advantage of this. Overall it was an amazing experience!!!

The sauna ritual was fantastic - 3 aromas filled the sauna. This was a great experience. The spa village was beautiful from the snow cabin, sauna, Jacuzzis, heated loungers, steam room, heated fire as well as the resturant. Beautiful view of the river and although busy never felt crammed. The spa check in was just ok - not the treatments we booked. The therapist asked my friend how would she like her massage pressure when she was getting a facial! The therapists hadn't read the health screening forms. Tge treatments were at 5:30pm on the Friday, there were no treats left that appeared to be there earlier.

My daughter and I had a lovely day from our lovely lunch and glass of bubbly, to all the thermal spa experiences and a Rasal treatment and finishing off with a lovely cup of hot chocolate. Excellent Value. Staff were all very courteous. Early afternoon was a great time to go as all the facilities had few people. By 4pm it was starting to get busy.

I had a great time at the spa. The only issue I had was, included in our package should have been a glass of prosecco but we weren't Given the voucher for it. I had to ask the staff and show the email as proof and they very kindly provided me with a drinks voucher however, I do think I shouldn't have had to do that.
