Illustrative imageThis image shows the Alba Thermal Springs estate in Fingal. It does not depict The Sanctuary at Alba.
Why we’d goStaying on Alba’s estate leaves more time to bathe and removes the off-site return drive.
The Sanctuary is Alba’s accommodation on its Fingal estate. Choose a standalone villa for more space, a private deck and a fireplace, or one of two premium rooms for a different layout. Villas 1–3 have stone baths; check the specific unit before booking.
Both formats include springs entry for each day of the stay, one private-pool upgrade, access to the spa lounge and private changerooms, breakfast at Thyme each morning, and transfers to the main building. Do not assume a private pool is attached to your villa or room.
Arrange spa treatments separately, and book any restaurant visit beyond the included breakfast with Alba. With accommodation and bathing on one estate, you can leave the rest of the day light.
