Make sure you plan ahead and don’t forget anything for your break in the forest. Here are some ideas for what you can pack...
General hints and tips
- Don’t forget your everyday toiletries
- We are providing hand sanitiser on entry to all main buildings, including restaurants, shops and before our activities. But for extra safety, it’s good to have your own on you too
- If you have some downtime or if the weather takes a turn, bring some board games to play in your cosy lodge
- If you have your own cycles bring them to the forest to explore on two wheels. Don’t worry if not, pre-book, to collect when you arrive at the resort
- Forgot your bike lock? You can hire them at the Cycle Centre
- Take your camera (and leave distractions from your mobile phone in your lodge) to capture the special moments during your break
- Don’t forget to bring milk, tea and coffee if you want a brew in your lodge, or head to the ParcMarket to pick up any groceries
- If you want to visit our restaurants or try one of our activities, pre-book a slot on our website
- We provide you with three dishwasher tablets and a sachet of washing up liquid. For any extras needed, bring them along or buy them at the ParcMarket
- All our resorts are cashless and can no longer accept cash payments, including for the purchase of gift cards.
Bring the correct clothing
- Comfortable shoes and clothing for exploring the forest
- You can’t predict the Irish weather so make sure to come prepared for sunny days with sunglasses, plenty of t-shirts, shorts and, of course, plenty of sun cream
- For greyer days, don't forget your raincoats, wellies and some warm cosy clothes
- There are no laundry facilities available when in the forest
- A face-covering - Aqua Sana Spa and some activities require a face covering and this will be stated in your itinerary
What you need for the Subtropical Swimming Paradise
- Swimming essentials to splash and slide in the Subtropical Swimming Paradise
- Pool towels (available to hire at extra cost)
- Goggles

Packing for the little ones
Packing can sometimes be a nightmare when you have little ones to make sure you remember everything from home. Here is a list of what you might need during your break:
- Pushchair, bottles, toys and other essentials
- Swim nappies for the Subtropical Swimming Paradise
- Linen for the cot
