Twixmas at The Killarney Park

That space between Christmas and New Year, where calendars are irrelevant and time moves at its own pace. We cling to the wonderful festive feelings that December gives us and enjoy the last of the Festive Breaks. Let yourself truly unwind at The Killarney Park as we transition from 2022 into 2023.

With 25,000 acres of natural landscape right on our doorstep, you’re sure to find a walk, amble or jog that suits your fitness levels and can get your mindset right for the year ahead. Our selection of Festive Breaks are sure to offer something to suit everyone.

The Killarney Park Festive Breaks are bursting with Chrismassy delight and sparkling style. Guests are treated to mulled wine on arrival, to get the festive mood started and we invite you to chat to our Concierge team about some lovely ideas of what to do and see while you are staying in Killarney over the Festive Season.

• Get that book you’ve been dying to read and find a cosy spot in the Library, curl up at the fireside and sip on a perfect Irish coffee.
• Take a stroll around Killarney town and enjoy the Christmas lights and decor. The Cathedral is also spectacularly lit during the festive season.
• Put on the walking boots and get yourself onto a mountain. Killarney is ideal as there are so many choices depending on fitness levels.
  • A personal favourite for the average walker is Torc Mountain. There’s a beautiful waterfall at the base. The climb is not too strenuous but the reward at the top is spectacular.
  • Taking things a little more seriously, try out Mangerton mountain. This would be a longer walk and can be thought of as Torc’s “big brother”. Warm clothing is essential as the temperatures at the top drop considerably.
  • Hiking enthusiasts and those with a competitive edge and a desire to tick Ireland’s highest mountain off their bucket list can take on the challenge of Carrantuohill. We are happy to recommend local guides and would suggest setting aside a full day for this.
• History and culture fans would enjoy a day of exploring some of Killarney’s famous heritage sites. Killarney House is just across the road from the Hotel. Muckross House, Muckross Abbey, Ross Island Copper Mines, Innisfallen Island, Aghadoe Cathedral and Round Tower and St. Mary’s Cathedral are a few more of our favourites – chat to our outstanding Concierge Team to find out what will suit you best.
• Take advantage of a quiet dip in the pool after breakfast. This is a great way to energise and recharge the batteries and a super way to start the day. Robes and slippers are provided so that you can prepare in the comfort of your rooms if you wish. We recommend you chat to Reception or Concierge about booking some pool time. With distancing and safety policies in place, guest numbers, in the pool, are monitored. Ideally this could be followed by a few hours of spa pampering and downtime.
