Any time is the right time for girl time at The Dromoland Collection’s posh destination resorts. A short hop over the pond to Ireland’s Shannon International Airport delivers gaggles of goddesses to the land of fairytales and two of its most beautiful royal retreats: Dromoland Castle in County Claire, perhaps the finest castle resort in Ireland, and Castlemartyr Resort in County Cork, a spectacular blend of the old and the new.

There are no ladies-in-waiting here; instead a fun-loving and faithful retinue is on hand to satisfy every whim in an ambiance of sybaritic splendor. Highlights include large, luxurious rooms and suites complete with state-of-the-art video systems, perfect for cocktail, pajama or movie-night parties catered by room service; customized spa and salon services in soothing and rejuvenating wellness centers; dining so fine it’s fit for a queen (even a vegetarian one); and an endless variety of entertaining and engaging activities both on premises and off.

Whether the girl-gathering is large or small, lazy or crazy, family or friends, the staff of The Dromoland Collection, led by concierges Sé Gardiner and Dermot Fetton, delight in helping to design or coordinate celebrations of all things woman.
