Ard Nahoo has been recognised as one of the ten best healthy retreats in the world by the Guardian newspaper. Developments are still ongoing in Ard Nahoo, which will include an outdoor bathing area, encompassing a hot-tub, detox box, rain shower and steamroom, and a redeveloped garden area. The place opens up again in September, and has a whole range of fantastic options available.
If you click on the packages page of the ever-improving and expanding Greenbox website, you will see both Ard Nahoo's packages, and more on health and wellness in the Greenbox area.
Speaking of the website, our hits are going through the room: in May,we had 182, 577 and the number just keeps growing and growing.....
