As September rolls in, the pace of life changes. School bags are packed, inboxes refill, and calendars begin to crowd. It’s a month that brings structure but often, stress follows close behind. If you’re already feeling the shift, now is the moment to pause.
At The Kingsley, we’ve curated the perfect wellness weekend itinerary to help you reset, refocus, and reclaim a little time for yourself in the heart of Cork City.
Your Itinerary for the Perfect September Reset
Saturday | Arrive & Unwind
Check into the calm of The Kingsley, where thoughtful design and riverfront views signal that you’ve stepped away from the everyday.
Once your bags are dropped, book yourself in for our Moments of Harmony — a 60-minute treatment designed to relieve the tension you didn’t even know you were carrying. This relaxing treatment includes a back, neck & shoulder massage using warm basalt stones combined with a Kerstin Florian Refresher Facial. A deep-cleansing express facial based on organic Moor Mud to refine, brighten, and hydrate your skin. Includes a massage of the face, as well as a hand massage. It’s the perfect way to ground yourself for the season ahead. Quiet, healing, and entirely for you.
Saturday Afternoon | Afternoon Tea at Perch
After your spa treatment, float up to Perch, our relaxed and elegant lounge ‘perched’ above the River Lee. Order our signature Afternoon Tea and settle into a cosy window seat overlooking the water.
Enjoy a perfectly tiered selection of seasonal sweet and savoury delights, freshly baked scones, and your choice of premium teas. Everything here is slow, thoughtful, and just a little indulgent, exactly as it should be.
Saturday Evening | Cocktails at Fishers
As evening arrives, make your way to Fishers Bar. Live music, ambient lighting and a curated cocktail menu make it the ideal setting to transition from the calm of the day to the soft buzz of night. Sip something shaken or stirred, or ask our bartenders for a seasonal recommendation. Whether you’re solo, with your partner, or catching up with a friend, this is your space to unwind.
Sunday Morning | Room Service Breakfast & Departure
Sunday mornings are made for plush robes, strong coffee, and breakfast in bed.
Choose from a full Irish, fresh pastries, seasonal fruits, or something light and energising. Our team can deliver everything to your door, so you can stretch the morning just a little longer.
Check out feeling rested, recharged, and ready to step into the season ahead.
Because September Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful
Amid the rush of school runs, inboxes, and post-summer pressure, give yourself permission to pause.
A wellness weekend at The Kingsley offers more than luxury, it’s a way to reset with purpose. From spa treatments to slow sips and riverfront views, this is your moment to breathe again.
