Lough Erne resort in the Fermanagh Lakelands of Ireland, about a two-hour drive north from the Dublin Airport offers just about everything you would expect from a high-end property including a helipad to land your helicopter in style. Set on a stunning lake, there are water sports, fishing and horseback riding among its many activities. There’s a world-class restaurant and a golf course designed by legendary golf champ Nick Faldo.

Yes there’s plenty of beauty to admire outdoors, but for inner tranquility the gorgeous Thai Spa on the property is not to be missed. There are ten treatment rooms to get your zen on, including the Sabai Sabai Room (which translates into the Health and Happiness room). There is a Crystal Steam Aroma room, the Exotic Rain Shower room, a Thai herbal healer and a Light Therapy Sauna among the unusual offerings. Plus there are the typical massage, hair and skin treatments. We are more relaxed just thinking about it.  www.loughernereresort.com
