Take a road trip to Teapot Lane Glamping in Leitrim for a weekend in the countryside with a twist. With Benbulben as a backdrop, the glampsite comprises four luxury yurts, a country cottage, a vintage caravan and a gorgeous cabin-style treehouse. To help you wind down there's also an on-site spa and gourmet picnic baskets available for guests. Perfect for a weekend away with the girls.
2. Explore the walking trails of Kerry
Recently voted by Lonely Planet as one of the best places to visit in Europe, Kerry is home to Ireland's most famous (and longest!) walking route. Gather your pals, put on your walking shoes and tackle the epic 215km trail along the Ring of Kerry. Kicking off from the Killarney National Park, you'll pass sparkling lakes, misty mountains and panoramic ocean views along the way. Are you ready to walk this way?
3. Take a leap of faith in Roscommon
Fancy channeling your inner Lara Croft for an action-packed couple of days? Head to Zipit Forest Adventures in Lough Key, Co. Roscommon to get active and zipline through the trees. Renowned for its stunning views, wildlife and gorgeous old buildings, a walk through the magical park is also a must for a weekend spent in Lough Key. And when you've zipped through the trees and explored the many woodland trails, try your hand at one of the climbing walls and balancing on a rope bridge. Adventure time, ahoy!
In need of a serious wind down from the stresses of daily life? Put down your phone and head to , Co. Carlow for a total recharge of your batteries. Enjoy yoga and meditation classes in front of crackling fires, before tucking into homemade organic meals during this weekend of total 'you time.' Soak in the gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside and mountains, and relax in the deep comfort beds. We're starting to get more chilled out just thinking about it!
If you're looking to truly escape from the world for a few days, head to one of the Aran Islands to slow it down. Hope on a ferry from Doolin or Rossaveal to visit Inis Mór, Inis Meáin or Inis Oírr. Rent bikes to explore the islands, take a dip in the ocean, and find a cosy corner in a pub to soak in island life in the evening. Bliss.
Pack up the car with your friends and head to one of the top surfing spots in the world; beautiful Bundoran! Spend the weekend riding the waves and walking the shores on some of the most incredible beaches in Ireland.
