Between the sauna, the studio and the lake, Lanesborough makes a good base for a slow, restorative weekend.
Friday evening: check in to a lakeside apartment and walk across the bridge at sunset.
Saturday: start with a reformer class at Precision Pilates (book a class), then coffee or matcha at Cata Coffee. Walk the Commons North Woodland loop along the shore of Lough Ree, and finish the day with a 75-minute session at The Sweaty Yeti (book now): wood-fired sauna, hot tub and barrel cold plunges. Women-only sessions and private hire are available.
Sunday: drive 20 minutes to Sliabh Bawn and climb to the summit cross for views over the Shannon and Lough Ree, then come back for a long lunch at Sorrento.
