Think you can’t get away for a glamorous weekend in two days? Wrong. Short getaways are all we dream about during our workdays. If you’re looking for a little luxury mixed with the great “outdoors” then spend a weekend glamping. Yep, glamping. Glamping made camping popular again. And no, we’re not talking sleeping bags and bonfire-made beans. We’re talking sea-view villas with 24-hour butler services and European-style canvas tents with cozy Pendleton blankets. So grab your s’mores kits and leave the canteens at home, these glamorous glamping escapes are not for the average camper.

Where to Find the Best Stargazing Spots in Ireland

This year, the Northern Lights put on quite the display across Ireland, but don’t think these lights are the only thing you can see in Ireland. In fact, many spots across the country provide some of the best opportunities to stargaze thanks to low levels of light pollution. Ireland has three International Dark Sky Parks and even more spots which, although not accredited, are worth a visit for anyone wishing to see the sky in its unfiltered form.
