Fáilte Thermal Spa

Fáilte Thermal Spa is located in Lisdoonvarna, County Clare, Ireland, the country's only dedicated spa town and the site of Europe's largest matchmaking festival — the annual Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival held each September, where thousands of single people gather in an Irish tradition dating to the nineteenth century when farmers would travel after the harvest to find partners at the town's sulfurous mineral springs. The bicarbonate and sulfurous mineral waters here emerge from the limestone geology of the Burren — one of the world's most extraordinary karst landscapes, a UNESCO Geopark of bare limestone pavements, rare alpine and Mediterranean wildflowers, and megalithic tombs that make County Clare one of Ireland's most geologically and archaeologically remarkable regions. Bathing at Fáilte Thermal Spa in the matchmaking capital of Ireland, surrounded by the unique Burren karst landscape and the cultural traditions of rural Clare, offers one of Ireland's most distinctively Irish and culturally rich wellness experiences.
