2022 Season: March to October
Island Retreat Stays from September to March inclusive
The Island Retreat Package is the only stay offered during our open months from September to March inclusive. It is a 4 night stay on Monday through to Friday, inclusive of dinner each night and 2 Island Experiences.
These stays will offer our guests a more in-depth experience of the elements that make a stay in Inis Meáin special, at times of the year when there are very few other visitors on the island.
The Island Experiences although included, will be optional and will last approximately an hour each and could be for example a visit to our beehives or vegetable gardens or a farm or landscape tour, hosted by Ruairí or Marie-Thérèse, or a visiting special guest.
2 night and 4 night Stays from April to August inclusive
During these months we will be offering 2 night and 4 night stays as detailed in the General Suite Reservation Information below. The Exploration Rates for these stays are exclusive of dinner which needs to be reserved when booking the suite online.
2022 Suite Reservations are currently fully booked. To hear more about any suite cancellations that may arise for 2022 in due course, please subscribe to our Availability Notifications.
To hear about Restaurant Availability that may arise, please subscribe to our Availability Notifications.
Please note that the Restaurant serves evening dinner only and it is necessary to stay on the island overnight to visit the Restaurant for dinner. Links to alternative places to stay on the island are available in our FAQ.
Inis Meáin Restaurant & Suites is located on a remote island with a particular set of logistical considerations. To ensure an optimum experience for our guests that is also sustainable, what we offer is a little different to what can be found elsewhere. Therefore, please note the following when considering a suite reservation:
Inis Meáin Suites offer a unique hospitality experience with many special elements to enhance your island stay. Therefore in place of a nightly bed and breakfast rate, we offer what we call Exploration Rates.
The Exploration Rates are per suite, for 2 or 4 night stays and include all of the elements listed below.
In addition to these elements, our 4 night Island Retreat Stays include 4 dinners and 2 Island Experiences as detailed further on the Booking Information page.

Our Exploration Rates are the minimum rates necessary to ensure Inis Meáin Restaurant and Suites remain feasible. As a tiny, seasonal business in a remote island location, our considerable additional costs have to be covered by a very small number of annual bookings.
Please note that there are no classic or standard rooms, just 5 suites of a minimum of 50sqm, and we can open only for the high visitor season from March to October inclusive because of island logistics.
Since opening in 2007, we have reinvested into the restaurant, the suites and the island every year, striving to exceed the expectations of both our wonderful returning and new guests, while providing a welcome source of employment and activity on the island.
Having purchased an island farm in 2019 to which we added livestock and bees over 2020 and 2021, we look forward to continuing to support the island's biodiversity, landscape, employment and community into the future.
