Welcome
A Message from the Murphy family
Banna Beach Hotel opened in June 1968 and today still remains a family business. Over the years it has evolved many times from the original wedding and function business to one of Kerry’s best dance halls in the late 70s to Waves Night Club in the 80/90s.
In 2006 the hotel/night club were replaced by 79 holiday homes and the leisure center and renamed Banna Beach Resort. Generations of families have worked at the resort and also enjoyed the facilities over the last nearly 60 years.
Many children have learnt to swim at the centre and following on from the great success enjoyed by the Irish swimmers in the recent Paris Olympic Games we are sure that this will encourage many more young children to aspire to be the next Irish Olympian. Who knows? Their journey might start here in Banna and our swimming classes encourage all the children to be the best they can.
Gyms, like many other leisure activities, continue to change – with Pilates, Yoga, Personal training etc. We have listened to our many members and Pay As You Go customers and have made changes throughout the club which we hope you will be happy with – these changes include – our gym, cardio room, ice baths & our pool inflatable.
With a choice of memberships we hope they will suit the modern family/working lives. We do understand modern life has changed and we hope that our membership options will reflect this.
As always, our reception team, headed by Elaine, are always there to listen to new ideas and we more than welcome any suggestions.
As like all family businesses, local support is very important to us and we are delighted that our local schools avail of the pool for swimming classes. Over the past year we have developed a great social atmosphere with our senior customers. Health/fitness has never been more important for this section of society. Following our stretch & aquafit classes on Monday, Tuesday & Thursday mornings the kettle is boiling next door in the bar for a cuppa, scone & chat. We’re looking at adding another morning to this for the winter, due to it’s popularity & demand – so stay tuned for updates on that.
Finally on behalf of all the team at Banna Leisure Club we that you all, without your support there would be no club.
