Summer Stays at The Reserve

The Reserve at Muckross Park

Your private summer sanctuary in the heart of Killarney National Park, where home comforts meet couture-style luxury.

At Muckross Park Hotel & Spa, we believe that every escape should feel rare, and summer is the perfect time to experience it. The Reserve at Muckross Park is a collection of elegant two-bedroom apartments, designed for those seeking space, privacy, and independence during the most vibrant season of the year.

Located just metres from the hotel and surrounded by the lush beauty and gentle stillness of Killarney National Park in full summer bloom, these apartments offer the perfect balance of freedom and refinement. Spend sun-filled days exploring scenic trails, lakes, and woodland paths, before returning to your own tranquil retreat.

Whether you’re travelling as a family, enjoying a summer break with friends, or settling into a longer escape close to nature, The Reserve invites you to slow down, reconnect, and experience Killarney at your own pace, all summer long.
