About

Standing on the wooded slopes of the Holywood hills overlooking Belfast Lough is the magnificent Culloden Estate and Spa. Located 10 minutes from Belfast City and 5 minutes from the George Best Belfast City Airport. Originally built as an official palace for the Bishop of Down, it stands in a 12 acre estate. Palatial surroundings, fine antiques and the highest levels of personal service.

As befits Northern Ireland’s leading 5 Star hotel, each of the 98 guest bedrooms is exquisitely decorated and tastefully furnished. Many have stunning views over the Estate and Belfast Lough, and the County Antrim coastline especially the Palace Suite, one of Ireland’s finest bedroom suites.

The Vespers Restaurant has breathtaking views over Belfast Lough, and serves modern Irish Cuisine using the freshest local produce. There is also an extensive range of dining and socialising options in our bar, conservatory and lounge. The Cultra Inn, complete with log fires, is a cosy bar and restaurant which nestles in the Estate - perfect for a tasty lunch or pint by the fireside.

The Spa offers a full range of health and leisure facilities and is a sanctuary for both body and mind. Here you will find an oasis of tranquillity and an antidote to the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

A wide choice of reviving, rejuvenating, soothing and relaxing Spa treatments are available, using the renowned ESPA range of natural therapies and products. Choose from a Luxurious Day Spa Experience, an overnight Spa break or simply a treatment from our extensive portfolio. Packages can be tailored to include any combination of therapies, in addition to full access to the pool and Health Club facilities and a light lunch in Zest. Children’s pool hours do apply.
