Galgorm Collection, Northern Ireland’s premier luxury hospitality group, has unveiled the first of four £5 million (€5.9 million) investment programmes in Roe Valley Resort.
The first £5 million investment gets under way this year in two phases. From June, younger guests can look forward to a giant-sized Helter Skelter and soft play area, a brand-new kids' park, arcade and pool slides. The same month, Galgorm Collection will bring its Italian restaurant, Fratelli, to the North West for the first time.
Later this year, in the second-phase investment, Roe Valley Resort will unveil a new bar and adult-only spa, which will be open in time for the Christmas period. Golf fans can also anticipate enhancements to the award-winning PGA-standard 18-hole golf course later this year.
The investment follows Galgorm Collection’s landmark £28 million (€33 million) acquisition of Roe Valley Resort and Galgorm Castle Estate last November. The group has committed a multi-million-pound investment programme over the next five years to elevate both properties to new heights.
"Our vision is to elevate Roe Valley Resort as one of Northern Ireland’s most sought-after destinations, offering even more for guests to experience and enjoy," said Colin Johnston, managing director at Galgorm Collection.
"We look forward to unveiling these exciting developments while ensuring the resort continues to provide the outstanding service and character it is known for.”
Roe Valley Resort occupies a 150-acre estate that was once home to an 18th-century manor house and the first hydroelectric power station in Ireland.
The original manor house has been restored and features 118 bedrooms, an award-winning 18-hole parkland golf course, a driving range, spa, restaurant, bar, and range of conference and banqueting spaces. Additionally, the resort offers three residences for guests seeking a more private retreat.
