Glo Spa & Wellness is a small, polished spa set within the grounds of Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate, overlooking Lough Corrib and the estate’s 138 acres.
The focus here is calm, not crowds. There are four treatment rooms, including a dedicated couple’s room, plus a quiet relaxation suite and an outdoor Tranquillity Terrace with views across the grounds.
Treatments use ELEMIS products and are delivered by experienced therapists, with post-treatment access to the relaxation areas included.
It’s a refined, low-key spa that suits couples, hotel guests, and anyone looking to properly switch off rather than rush through a treatment.

On the shores of Galway Bay, the Connemara Coast Hotel is the perfect place to spend a little me-time, especially in the luxury spa.
Book time in the Therapy Rooms and look forward to an Aromatherapy Massage or more rigorous Swedish massage. Natural aromatic oils are used in the Hot Stones Massage that delivers deep heat to inner bone and tissue.
Leave time before dinner to wander through the gardens enjoying spectacular landscapes and don’t miss a dip in the 18-metre indoor pool and jacuzzi tub.
This is one of the best spa hotels Galway has to offer if you fancy exploring during the day – it’s a stone’s throw from Connemara National Park (give the Diamond Hill hike a go!).
