The Reserve at Killashee – Where Country Chic Meets Next-Level Luxury

You all know by now that I’m a devoted disciple of luxury experiences—and Killashee has long held a special place in my heart (and my travel planner). Whether I’m escaping for a spa break or hosting a glamorous girls’ weekend, it’s always a flawless blend of indulgence, nature and timeless Irish elegance.

But let me tell you… Killashee just got a major glow-up.

Let me introduce you to the latest and most exclusive addition to the estate: The Reserve at Killashee—a dreamy, ultra-luxurious, country retreat like no other, just outside Naas in beautiful County Kildare. Nestled on its own 4.5 acres, this is not just a place to stay—it’s a destination. One that oozes quiet luxury, discreet opulence, and the kind of glamour that whispers, rather than shouts.

Step Into Your Own Private World

The Reserve is the kind of place that makes you want to kick off your heels, wrap yourself in a fluffy robe, and pretend you’re royalty for the weekend (or a Netflix starlet at the very least). With nine ensuite bedrooms that can host up to 18 people, this exclusive-use residence feels like your own personal manor—but with all the modern luxuries you could dream of. Think: library, boardroom, huge kitchen, plush sitting room, and even a formal dining space for those show-stopping dinner parties.

It’s also fully wheelchair accessible, which is not only important but something I truly appreciate when venues get it right.

Wellness, But Make It Couture

Outside, the former stables (how divine is that?) have been transformed into Wellness Pods—yes, you read that correctly. Inside, you’ll find a hot tub, relaxation room, sauna, gym, and two treatment rooms using Elemis skincare. Honestly, this isn’t just wellness—it’s couture wellness.

The surrounding gardens are being landscaped into a lush escape with designated walks, perfect for a peaceful morning stroll—or a golden hour Instagram moment, let’s be real.

Designed to Impress (and De-Stress)

I fell in love instantly with the interiors, curated by the ever-talented Liz Hart, alongside the architecture maestros at Cantrell & Crowley. The palette? Warm neutrals, rustic greens, soft textures—every inch inspired by the countryside and elevated with marble, stone, and natural wood finishes. It’s sustainability meets sophistication, with a wink of glamour in every corner.

Sustainable Luxury Is the New Black

The Reserve is also making waves in eco-luxury, leading the way with renewable energy, zero-waste policies, and green building practices. It’s proof that you don’t have to compromise style for sustainability—something I am so here for. Enjoy organic spa treatments, yoga on the lawn, and seasonal dining that champions local produce and Irish flavours.

The Ultimate Escape—Your Way

Whether you’re hosting a corporate retreat, intimate wedding party, or a multi-gen family escape, The Reserve has been designed for every occasion. You can book it completely independently or use it in conjunction with hotel events. There’s even a bespoke catering menu with cheese boards, canapés and buffets, or simply dine at Killashee’s Pippin Tree or Oak & Anvil restaurants for the full experience.

The best part? Guests staying at The Reserve can access the main hotel’s spa and leisure centre, complete with 25m pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. Yes please.

With a two-night minimum stay, here’s what you can expect:

The Verdict from Your Favourite Luxury Lover

As someone who has stayed at Killashee more times than I can count (and yes, I’ve sampled every cocktail on their bar menu), I can say with full glam confidence: The Reserve is a game-changer. It’s giving modern Downton Abbey, with a side of champagne and soul-soothing spa energy.
