Popular Tipperary hotel announces expanded wellness spaces for summer 2025

This summer, Cashel Palace further establishes itself as one of Ireland’s must-visit wellness destinations with the unveiling of three new offerings: Recharge Health Bar, The Boutique, and fitness classes in The Secret Garden.

The hotel's extensive gardens and renowned spa have long offered guests the opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Now, the wellness experience expands beyond the spa walls to incorporate a healthy smoothie and snack bar, a new retail space and workouts in a unique setting.

“We are very proud of all that the Cashel Palace has achieved so far in just three years since opening.

“Receiving many prestigious accolades for our hospitality, our multiple dining outlets and our award winning Spa, we now feel that it is time to build on that.

“Guided by the vision of members of the Magnier family, we are growing our wellness offering and making it a key focus for this summer and onwards,” says Adriaan Bartels, General Manager of Cashel Palace Hotel.

Located in the courtyard at the front of the hotel, Recharge is Cashel Palace’s new health bar, designed for those seeking goodness on-the-go or to relax in peaceful surroundings.

Serving freshly made smoothies, açai bowls, protein balls, matcha and exceptional coffee, everything is created with wellness in mind; organic where possible, and free of refined sugars.

“With Recharge, our aim was to create a space where healthy choices are both accessible and enjoyable,” says Bartels.

“When you are on the go, it can be difficult to find options that are not only healthy but also delicious.

“The team spent a lot of time developing the menu, carefully sourcing high-quality ingredients that are free from refined sugars. After multiple tastings, we are excited to offer a selection that is good for you, without compromising on flavour.”

Recharge is open from Wednesday to Sunday, from 7am to 3:30pm.

Situated on Cashel’s main street, The Boutique is a thoughtfully curated retail space offering a selection of lifestyle and travel essentials. It brings together a distinctive collection of products; from clean beauty and athleisure to children’s gifts inspired by local heritage and horse racing.

Exclusive partnerships with leading brands such as Bamford, Westman Atelier, Dada Sport, B Draddy, MyBlend, Memo Paris, and John Hanly have shaped a collection of lifestyle pieces, clean beauty, clothing and homewares that are only available at Cashel Palace.

The range is complemented by everyday travel companions such as MiiR travel mugs, LL Bean tote bags, and bespoke leather accessories from CarveOn.

“It is fantastic to have a retail space located just across the road from the hotel entrance. The Boutique reflects a thoughtful curation of products and partnerships, many of which are the result of longstanding relationships and a commitment to quality. In many cases, The Boutique will be the first, and only, place in Ireland where these items are available.”

The Boutique is open daily, from 10am to 5:30pm.

Hidden behind historic walls lies The Secret Garden, already an established event space but now also a unique setting for morning fitness classes with a regular schedule of Dynamic Pilates and Pump Cardio sessions.

Whether seeking strength, serenity or a new sense of purpose, the Secret Garden offers the ideal place to reset and reconnect.

An initial programme of classes shall take place on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Dynamic Pilates: Wednesday 7:30am and Friday 10am

Pump Cardio: Wednesday 10am

These new offerings complement the hotel’s award-winning Spa, which remains central to the Cashel Palace wellness experience. Alongside a range of holistic treatments and thermal experiences, the Spa also hosts seasonal retreats and year-round classes in the serene surroundings of The Bolton Library.
