The old saying that you can’t make others happy until you yourself are happy rings ever true. The most effective way to be the best possible version of yourself is to make sure that you are happy, healthy and balanced. This is a combination that is becoming ever more difficult to achieve as working hours and stress levels increase, personal pressures become more and more demanding and we are taking on more in our personal lives than ever before. Stress is not only the biggest killer, it’s the biggest hindrance to you leading a happy and productive life.
If the idea of a wellness resort involving 4am yoga, wheat grass shots and a vegan / paleo / macrobiotic diet doesn’t appeal, then Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort most definitely will. With a focus not only on health but on general happiness and wellbeing, Tigh-Na-Mara is a wonderful place to relax, regroup, unwind, and rekindle your relationship without the pretentiousness of other wellness resorts.
A truly versatile vacation destination, Tigh-Na-Mara caters to anyone and everyone seeking to have a little indulgence, me time, and a break from their daily stresses. With family friendly areas it’s a great place to take kids, they will never run out of things to keep them entertained with the resorts packed daily schedule.
For those seeking a romantic getaway there is truly no better place to focus on yourself and your loved one. You can dress up and enjoy dinner in the fabulous resort Cedars Restaurant, or keep it casual and enjoy a bottle of wine on your own private deck, soaking in the ocean views after dinner enjoyed in the soft light of the beach sunset.
Better yet, make it a guys weekend, get a good group together and enjoy a casual weekend getaway. Create your own Survivor weekend, make it competitive, have champagne brunches and sunset BBQs.
Keep yourself active while you are enjoying your relaxing retreat with the resorts indoor pool, tennis and basketball courts, casual biking and hiking trails and more. There is no end of ways to keep you entertained and active. Make sure to book yourself into the Grotto Spa for a little rest and relaxation, treat yourself to a relaxing massage, manicure or any of the variety of treatments on offer. Any 60 minute treatment at the Grotto Spa also gets you access to the mineral pool, which will ensure you leave feeling refreshed, soothed and rejuvenated, plus you can enjoy fresh fruit, tea, and infused water in the relaxation lounge.

Just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. A weekend at Tigh-na-mara would be an excellent opportunity for my husband and I to not only get away, but to reconnect and strengthen our commitment to each other.
Wow! Congratulations on your 5th wedding anniversary. That’s amazing.
Thanks Brian!
I need this little R & R vacation because I have been dealing with the stress of my teenage being away in the hospital due to an illness. I am off work & juggling multiple schedules & would love the opportunity to recharge.
You are an amazing mom, friend, and athlete. You’re always above and beyond, and your energy is outstanding.
Between raising a one year old, working full time, and working on my masters, my partner and I don’t put enough time and energy into ourselves! A night away would mean the world to us <3
I have been a good girl and haven’t had a drink in 11 days. On a fitness kick and could use some encouragement and relaxation!
This would be such a great occasion to hit the refresh button.
Never seems to be the right time to getaway, as there is always something stopping me from doing it. A much needed time away to refocus would be a great way to reground myself. This would be a perfect way for me to just getaway and not worry about anything for a chance.
Your article makes me want to go there with loved ones even I don’t win. Thanks for the great short read and pictures.
I need this holiday from my crazy work schedule and divorce lawyer drama!
To breathe the sea air, walk the beach, linger in the woods, sip wine and savour great food at #Cedars…relax in the #Grotto Spa…what could be more lovely?
Always wanted to visit Tigh-Na-Mara. Would love the opportunity to spend a romantic weekend away with my husband.
Awwww… sounds like you guys are madly in love! That’s amazing. Congratulations. How long have you guys been together?
Hi, my name is Will from Vancouver. Truthful moment I haven’t worked a legitimate job in 5 years. I’m venturing self employment and learning Creative Writing expo portfolio. In healing mode now looking to move forward. Don’t know what else to write. Thanks for the time and platform on your wicked site to express.
