Sustainability at Ballygarry
Luxury with a Lighter Footprint
At Ballygarry Estate Hotel & Spa, sustainability is an important part of what makes the Estate special. Set across more than 150 acres of Kerry countryside, Ballygarry is taking meaningful steps to protect and restore our natural surroundings while continuing to provide guests with an exceptional experience.
From rewilding former farmland and planting native woodlands to creating wildflower meadows, an onsite Integrated Constructive Wetlands and habitats for pollinators, the Estate is giving nature room to thrive. The planting of almost 30,000 trees is another significant step in Ballygarry’s journey towards a more sustainable future.
Sustainability also extends beyond the landscape. Ballygarry sources locally where possible, helping support Kerry businesses while reducing food miles. The Estate has introduced initiatives to reduce waste and single-use plastics, alongside recycling and composting practices.
For Ballygarry, sustainability is not about choosing between luxury and responsibility. It is about bringing the two together.
As guests walk the Estate, enjoy locally sourced food, or simply take in the beauty of the Slieve Mish Mountains, they become part of a bigger story—one where hospitality and nature can exist side by side.
Because true luxury is not only about what we leave with; it is also about what we leave behind for the next generation.
