The Deerstone, a Luxury Retreat to Reset and Reconnect

Just minutes from the stunning valley of Glendalough you'll find The Deerstone.  A 6 acre sustainable luxury resort surrounded by traditional sheep farms, the rolling hills of Wicklow National Park and the Inchavore river and only an hour from Dublin city centre.

With Wellness trends dominating in 2026, luxury customers are seeking restorative and self care. We have come to think of this as adult only and a time to indulge oneself but the beauty of The Deerstone is that it an opportunity to include all the family ( it is also dog friendly). For me I love the idea of brining the kids and having a break from the hustle and bustle of city life and screen time. The Deerstone presents itself as the perfect time for kids, the whole family to remove screen time and replace it with nature walks, bicycle rides, yoga, connecting with nature, mind fullness and quality family time. The Deerstone offers a peaceful setting to slow down, reconnect and enjoy nature. You can stay amongst nature whilst not compromising on the luxury of a hotel standard.

Throughout the stay, guests can dip in and out of a range of wellness and social activities. Join a morning yoga or pilates class, while younger guests can take part in a kids’ stretch session or explore the treasure hunt. Evenings bring everyone together with a complimentary gourmet pizza night and a cosy cinema night.

Guests can enjoy complete access to The Deerstone's communal wellness facilities , which includes a sauna, hydra-pool, cold plunge, and a Japanese soak spa, an ideal end after a day of outdoor activities. For those looking to enhance their experience , there are a variety of activities , such as massages, pritis sauna sessions, guided hikes in Glendalough, private yoga sessions and gourmet picnic lunches.

All of the accommodation in The Deerstone have been designed to allow guests to feel connected with the surrounding landscape.  The Deerstone features a collection: Five eco-conscious luxury cottages, Four cosy shepherd’s huts (dog-friendly) and Two deluxe guestrooms.

When it comes to food, The Deerstone team can organise a local private chef to cater for guests of 8 or more in the delightful dining room ideal for larger groups, or arrange hampers of locally sourced produce to be enjoyed in the comfort of guest accommodation. There are also local restaurants in the nearby village which are within walking distance.
