View Details & BookBring your bucket and spade - and don’t forget your sense of adventure. This stretch of North Ireland’s coastline is a natural playground for lovers of the great outdoors. But once you’ve finished hiking and exploring, our top-rated Bangor spa hotels offer incredible spa days designed to help you indulge in a little blissful downtime.
The Old Inn: One of the most historic hotels in Northern Ireland also happens to boast one of the country’s splendid spas. This luxurious lair just a five-minute drive from Bangor has had a £2.5 million refurb. And once you’ve set foot in the outdoor haven that is the Treetop Spa with its unrivalled forest views, toasty hydro pool and thermal facilities, you’ll soon be agreeing that every penny was well-spent.
The Rabbit Hotel and Retreat: Forget restrictive regimes or nibbling on lettuce leaves. This spa is all about hedonism, from the heated beach to the Balearic beats played while you boogie at the outdoor pool. You can even scan a QR code for cocktails delivered to your underwater bar stool. When you need a break from the holiday vibes, unwind in the sauna, aromatherapy room or salt room. Just 24 miles from Bangor, it’s well worth the detour.
Galgorm: This isn’t just the best spa resort in Northern Ireland. It’s up there with the very best spa destinations in the world - and has the mantelpiece of luxury travel awards to prove it. About 40 miles from Ballycastle, a spa day here lets you soak in the splendour of the Thermal Spa Village, where three spa gardens offer their own, unique take on wellness.
Tired after mooching around the marina? This calls for a spa package filled with pampering treats and, luckily, our spas in Bangor have got the memo. With a variety of relaxing treatments, you’ll find plenty of ways to treat yourself…
Forest bathing: A Bangor spa day package that lets you unwind in luxurious outdoor facilities, perched high above the trees in Crawfordsburn Country Park? Now this is the kind of getting back to nature we could really get on board with. A Bangor spa day package at Treetop Spa at the Old Inn lets you cosy up on heated waterbeds in the cabana, or warm yourself by a wood-fired stove in the Conservatory as you soak it all in.
Lakeside bathing: What could be nicer than wallowing in your own private hot tub, overlooking a tranquil lake? A botanical bathing experience at The Rabbit Hotel and Retreat lets you do just that. Just scan the QR code and they’ll bring your favourite tipple straight to your tub.
Mud rasul: After a day of exploring all of Bangor’s best bits, what better way to relax than in a private mud rasul chamber? Feel at one with nature as you slather mud on each other. Not only is this DIY treatment a fun way to reconnect with friends, the mud is rich in magical minerals designed to relax and revitalise.
Aromatherapy massage: Feeling inspired by the beautiful blooms of Bangor Castle’s walled garden? Let soothing essential oils transport you right back there!
Hydrotherapy: Love basking in bubbly water and unwinding under massage jets? Our spas near Bangor boast some of the country’s finest hydrotherapy pools. In fact Galgorm has several, including an indoor hydrotherapy pool, Beltane hot tub, outdoor wood fired bathing tubs and an outdoor vitality pool. We’re already blowing up our armbands.
Relaxing on your Bangor spa day is just the start. You’ll find plenty more to see, sip and savour on your seaside escape…
Stroll through Bangor’s history: Head to the North Down Museum, where Viking artefacts and medieval treasures tell the tale of the city’s past.
Make waves on the water: Bangor Marina is one of Ireland’s largest, perfect for boat trips, kayaking or simply watching the sailboats drift on Belfast Lough.
Taste the seaside charm: Bangor’s food scene is packed with artisanal treats. Think local seafood, homemade fudge and the iconic yellowman honeycomb from nearby markets.
Explore a secret garden: Bangor Castle’s walled garden is a real hidden gem, brimming with blossoms, sculptures, and peaceful pathways. Perfect for a post-spa wander!
Catch the sunset: Wind down your day with a seaside stroll along Ballyholme Beach, where golden sands meet sweeping ocean views. And if you're feeling brave, a quick dip in the Irish Sea will wake you up faster than any cold plunge pool!

There is. And whether that’s good or bad news depends on what you’re looking for! Many of our spa venues near Bangor are blissfully adults-only, making them ideal for those seeking to relax by a pool without fear of being splashed.

Meanwhile, The Rabbit welcomes guests aged 16 and over to its thermal suite, though treatments are exclusive to those 18 and older.
