Luminous Weekend @ Powerscourt Hotel
Fri 26 – Sun 28 March 2027. Two nights, Co. Wicklow.
Two nights together at Powerscourt, one of Ireland’s most glamorous five-star spa hotels, set on the beautiful Powerscourt Estate in the Wicklow mountains. Time for the spa, gentle restorative practices, beautiful surroundings and good company. Dinner at Sika is a highlight, the kind of meal you’ll still be talking about weeks later. Less than an hour from Dublin. A small group of eight to ten women.
How the weekend runs
We arrive on Friday afternoon or early evening, whatever works best for you. Come earlier if your day allows it. There will be time to settle in, enjoy the spa or book a treatment before we gather as a group.
That evening we meet before dinner to check in with ourselves and with each other and see how we're feeling at the start of the weekend. A pre-dinner drink and a relaxed dinner together, an opportunity to get to know each other and chat.
On Saturday we come together for our wellness practices, with plenty of time around them to enjoy the spa and the grounds. Time for a massage or a facial, a swim, the jacuzzi, sauna or steam room, a walk in the gardens, some quiet time, or the luxury of an afternoon nap.
In the evening we get dressed up and enjoy dinner together at Sika, the more indulgent part of the weekend. Incredible food, a nice glass of wine, and some quality time connecting with the group.
On Sunday we meet for a morning wellness practice and some journalling to close out the weekend, followed by breakfast and the option to enjoy a little more spa time or a walk before heading home.
The hotel and spa
Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa sits on the Powerscourt Estate in Enniskerry, with views across the Sugarloaf mountain. The ESPA spa is one of the best in the country. The views from the relaxation beds have to be seen to be believed, out across the garden to the Sugarloaf.
- ESPA products throughout
- A 20-metre Swarovski crystal-lit pool
- Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and Himalayan salt room
- The relaxation suite, with that view
- Gym and studio, with the Sugarloaf in the window
- Adults-only swim times
- Fine dining at Sika
Dinner on Friday, dinner at Sika on Saturday and breakfast both mornings are included, along with full use of the spa and leisure facilities for the whole stay.
Massages and facials can be booked separately, directly with the spa. Let us know and we'll help you arrange it.
Your own room
Everyone has their own room, so you have your own space and comfort while still being part of the group. Coming with a friend? Get in touch and we’ll arrange a shared room for you at a reduced price.
The practices
The wellness practices will be a mix of gentle restorative yoga, deep rest practices, breathwork, journalling, meditation and other guided practices. The yoga movements are there to ground us, to help move us out of our heads and into connection with our bodies. You don’t need any prior experience of yoga. This is a gentle restorative practice, and alternatives are always offered for anyone with an injury or a condition.
Aoife hosts and leads some of the practices herself, sometimes joined by guest teachers, practitioners and friends in the wellness space.
