Sustainable before it was a selling point
Pure has been going in this corner of Co. Down since the early 2000s, which makes it one of the longer-running independent spas in Northern Ireland. It has picked up awards for its sustainability rather than its marble.
The food tells you most of what you need to know about the operation. Lunch leans on locally sourced and home-grown produce from regional suppliers instead of a catering contract. The spa frames itself around restoration across body, mind and spirit, and it builds the day slowly enough that the framing actually holds up.
