The Island Stays are a new way to travel, combining luxury self-catering/vacation rental with many additional included and optional features, for optimum comfort and relaxation.
The Houses form part of a 70-acre Burren-Landscape, Island Farm Estate, giving guests off-road access to this unique terrain. The Island Stays are complimentary to nature and designed by the team behind the renowned Inis Meáin Restaurant & Suites (2007-2022).

Island
OileánInis Meáin offers the best of Ireland in one easily explored island — unparalleled natural beauty, culture, and history within a living and vibrant community. And as the least developed of the three Aran Islands, Inis Meáin can be explored in peace. The island is just 5km by 3km and the Houses are located in the centre, within walking distance of everywhere. Inis Meáin Island Stays include an extensive Exploration Kit in each House, so that guests can explore in comfort island treks, sea swims, cycles, yoga, foraging and picnics throughout our farm estate and the unique island landscape. →
Food
BiaA large part of Inis Meáin's allure is its tranquillity with a community of just 180 islanders and few visitors. Consequently dining options on the island are very limited with no venues open at times. A delicious daily-changing, set Island Dinner, curated from our former Restaurant's repertoire, home-baked Brown Bread, nourishing Lunch Soup and a special Wine Collection are all available for delivery to the Houses when ordered in advance. While the optional Island Dinners are set daily and could include any allergens, the Houses are offered on a self-catering basis and are equipped with high-spec kitchens enabling guests to cater for dietary restrictions and preferences in comfort if required. →
