When she's in Dublin, actress Keira Knightley checks into Nue Blue Eriu, a chic day spa and beauty emporium that opened four years ago in the heart of the historic city center. Though its inspiration is firmly rooted in Irish folklore (the name is derived from that of an ancient queen, Eriu, who is said to have inspired the country's Gaelic name, Eire), the spa prides itself on a modern mix of international products and therapies. This beauty hot spot is a testament to Ireland's booming economy and the first in Dublin to offer cult brands and sophisticated treatments from the likes of La Prairie, Prada, Chantecaille, Ren and Eve Lom, some of them exclusive to the spa. Four treatment rooms offer a combination of minimalist design and maximum indulgence, thanks to such offerings as the Indian Head Massage ($86), Red Flower Japanese Ritual ($159) and Institut Esthederm's Luxury Cyclo Repair facial ($185). All this—plus a hearty Irish welcome—keeps clients like the singer Enya and Ali Hewson, Bono's wife, coming back for more. 011-353-1-672-5776; nueblueriu.com.
