While Ireland is home to many breath-taking luxury properties, The K Club was the first to be awarded the coveted 5 AA Red Star rating, opening in 1991 and reinforcing its reputation as one of the most opulent destinations in the country ever since.
Modelled on an 18th Century French Chateau, The K Club is a breath-taking venue fit for royalty. Versaille-like grandeur comes as standard, with manicured gardens and 550 acres of parkland providing a stunning backdrop for the palatial splendour of the hotel itself.
The five star resort is a must-visit destination for fine dining lovers, golf enthusiasts, active families and those seeking a relaxing spa getaway as The K Club is home to no less than five restaurants, two bars, two Championship golf courses, a state of the art spa and an extensive offering of estate activities from archery to horse riding.
