Come discover Ireland’s new luxury destination, the Sheraton Fota Island Golf Resort & Spa, located on Fota Island in County Cork. Tucked amid gorgeous scenery, it is just north of the large island of Cobh and 20 minutes away from Cork International Airport. (see www.corkairport.com for flight details). Cork is the ideal location for exploring southern Ireland.
Each of the 131 guest rooms are elegantly appointed, many affording panoramic views over the woodlands or the championship golf course. Indulge in the Island spa complete with 18 treatment rooms, hydrotherapy, and thermal suites or take leisurely laps in full-length indoor pool.
Let our dining options tempt you and your guests. The Cove Restaurant – our seafood grill room – offers seafood from local waters and organic vegetables from local farmers. Relax with family at Fota Restaurant which provides all-day dining. Talk with friends and enjoy the fine view of the Island from the Amber Lounge.
Find inspiration in our great conference facilities. Our Convention Organising Committee will be working diligently over the next few months to tailor the amenities to our event. Welcome to pure relaxation at the Sheraton Fota Island Golf Resort & Spa!
