An Emerald Isle Retreat
Ireland
March 20-27, 2027
“I can’t say enough about the Blossom Yoga & Wellness retreat. Thanks to Candy’s thoughtful curation of all the details, our lovely group of kind souls had nothing more to do than enjoy .” 2025 Retreat Review
Join us on this privately escorted tour of the Emerald Isle, a popular nickname for Ireland reflecting its scenic rolling hills and exceptionally lush green and vibrant landscape. Experience magic and wonder as you visit the beautiful Irish countryside, stunning coastline, picturesque villages and historical cities; all the while enjoying authentic Irish food and drink. Visit Irish pubs and seize the opportunity to immerse yourself in traditional Irish music, while we have great ‘craic’, which means ‘fun’ in the Irish language, embracing warm Irish hospitality.
A truly personalized get away, led with a private tour that includes our own expert driver/guide to escort us around Ireland in luxury. Beginning the week in Dublin and collected upon arrival at the airport, we’ll go on to explore Kilkenny, Cork, Clifden, Dublin and what lies between. Yoga is offered regularly as a way to stretch, move and breathe; inviting mind, body & soul to fully experience this great adventure!
LET THE SIGHTSEEING BEGIN!
Depart Dublin and unwind from the flight as we travel in luxury comfort through the midlands, boasting some of the best farmland in Ireland. Our first night spent in Ireland brings us to Kilkenny, a medieval city also known as “The Marble City” due to the locally sourced stone that was historically used to build many of its structures, monuments and footpaths. Located on the River Nore, Kilkenny is compact and walkable with cobbled lanes, historic pubs and many attractions that you’ll spend the day and evening exploring.
Wake up to a traditional Irish breakfast and a final stroll around Kilkenny before heading south toward the city of Cork, where more beautiful scenery awaits; be sure to have your camera ready! Once in Cork, also known as the “food capital of Ireland”, we will stay for 2 nights in the City Centre. This vibrant Irish city offers a mix of historic, culinary and scenic experiences. Some highlights are the Blarney Castle where you can kiss the Blarney Stone and visit the Blarney Woolen Mills to find some quality Irish goods to take back home. Cork is also home to The English Market, St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Shandon Bells & Tower, Elizabeth Fort and more. While there, we’ll visit the Cobh Heritage Centre; the last stop of the Titanic, now a museum filled with rich history. You may even learn about, and trace, your ancestors. Our time In Cork will be a mix of group options as well as some time to explore on your own.
As we fare thee well to Cork, get ready for a day of awe and wonder. Making our way toward Clifden, we’ll meander along the spectacular Emerald Coast through County Clare. Visit the Cliffs of Moher, known for their stunning views of the Aran Islands etched on the waters of Galway Bay. One of the most awe inspiring landscapes in the world, take time here to breathe in the wild nature of Ireland. Our day ends at a Castle Hotel in the heart of Connemara County. Clifden, often called the capital of the Connemara region due to it’s role as a commercial and tourist hub, offers the perfect laid back vibe mixed with plenty to do. Spend two nights immersing yourself in the warm, inviting and timeless charm of our Castle Hotel while exploring all that Clifden has to offer.
Next, we make our back to the Capital of the Republic of Ireland, Dublin, stopping along the way for picturesque photo’s and lunch at an Irish pub. Wrap up the week with two nights in the Dublin City Centre, known for its rich history, vibrant culture and literary heritage. Begin with a group city tour followed by time to yourself to visit historic buildings such as Trinity College, where the Book of Kells is housed. Hit the Guinness Storehouse and pull your own pint. Take a tour of Dublin Castle, which was the seat of power and government for many centuries and today plays a leading role in European Union activities. We’ll gather on our last night together for a farewell dinner, departing Saturday morning, until we meet again.
