Revive, Refresh & Learn with Nature This Spring at Lisnavagh House
Nestled in the heart of the Irish countryside, Lisnavagh House invites guests to embrace the changing seasons with a series of exclusive wellness retreats designed to restore balance, energy, and tranquillity. Just over an hour from Dublin, this 19th-century Tudor Gothic estate spans 800 acres of breathtaking parkland, offering panoramic views of the Wicklow Hills, Blackstairs Mountains, and Mount Leinster.
Owned and operated by Emily and William Bunbury, whose family has lived at Lisnavagh for generations, the estate provides a serene sanctuary where guests can unplug, reset, and reconnect with nature. Retreat attendees enjoy individually styled bedrooms with scenic garden and parkland views. Alternatively, the Stables Courtyard accommodation offers a charming and cosy retreat experience. Between classes, guests can unwind in the oak-panelled library by a roaring log fire, enjoy a luxurious bath, explore the woodlands, or relax with a cup of tea while taking in the estate’s vast pleasure grounds.
Each retreat is designed to equip participants with practical tools for well-being that extend beyond their stay, helping them navigate the distractions of everyday life with renewed clarity and purpose. The experience fosters deep rest and reintegration, allowing guests to step away from modern life’s pressures and reconnect with their inner selves.
