Nestled on the shores of Lough Foyle, the Redcastle Oceanfront Golf & Spa Hotel is at the tip of Donegal, below Malin Head, Inishowen.

A mere 30-minute drive from the City of Derry Airport and less than two hours from Belfast, the hotel is easily accessible from anywhere in the world. Steeped in local history, Redcastle Oceanfront Golf & Spa Hotel is on the site of the Redcastle Estate. The estate was originally owned by Cathal O’Doherty who fell at the battle of Kinsale in 1601. Over the years the site’s name and purpose changed on several occasions. But, in 1986, Pat Doherty bought it and gave the site the name we know today. The hotel is equipped with a range of facilities for all guests to take advantage of. The Edge restaurant, on the water’s edge, provides a stunning sunset backdrop and food that keeps you coming back. The 2AA Rosette-winning restaurant is under the direction of Executive Chef Gordon Smyth. Using local produce of the highest quality the team aims to provide you with an unforgettable dining experience every time. “This isn’t fussy food. But it’s food prepared with such care, attention and flair it will leave you sighing with happiness,” says Gordon. The hotel’s popular private 9-hole golf course overlooks Lough Foyle and features magnificent parkland fairways dotted with trees and strategically placed traps. For those wanting to take relaxation to the next level, there’s on-site spa Cara Organic Beauty. The spa welcomes hotel guests and day visitors too. The spokesperson shares, “Cara Organic Beauty is about more than the treatment. It is about the welcome, the calming scents, the caring hands, the soothing lights and colours, the soft towels, the deep cushions and the refreshing teas and fruit. It’s not only about the body, it’s about the mind and spirit too.” Add to this a swimming pool, state-of-the-art gym and a host of local sights and activities and there’s sure to be something for everyone at Redcastle Oceanfront Golf and Spa Hotel.
