Donegal has some of the best beaches in the world and one of them is Marble Hill Strand, located in the high north west of Ireland and literally on the doortstep of the Shandon Hotel Spa & Ocean Spa.

The hotel has been part of the landscape for many years and the owners, Catherine and Dermot McGlade, have capitalised on the stunning natural setting to expand the offering to include a Spa and Wellness retreat. Their vision is to create a setting where guests can relax and de-stress surrounded by the spectacular views across Sheephaven Bay.

This is a place to enjoy the natural benefits of this magnificent setting - fresh sea air, amazing beach walks - as much as the treatments and therapies offered in the Spa. In addition to the spa guests can expect a warm welcome, turf fires on colder days, delicious home-cooked food and comfortable accommodation.

Please note: Shandon Hotel Spa and Ocean Spa is closed from September 2011 - Easter 2012
