2020 Season Dates: 16/03/20 to 23/10/20

2020 Season Schedule

We are excited to extend our 2020 season with a new Island Retreat package.  This will offer our guests a more in-depth experience of some 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. 

Island Retreat Stays in March, September & October

The Island Retreat Package will be the only stay on offer in March, September and October 2020 and it is a 4 night stay on Monday through to Friday, inclusive of dinner each night and 2 Island Experiences.  

The Island Experiences although included, will be optional and will last approximately an hour each.

They will broadly fall into one of these areas of interest - Food, Wine, Design & Culture and could be anything from harvesting island food, to a wine tasting, to a cookery demonstration, to an island site visit or a cultural performance.  The theme and timing of the sessions will vary and the two experiences each week will be dependent on weather, natural conditions and availability at the time.

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.

2020 Suite Reservations

2020 suite reservations were officially launched online on the 14th of October. 2020 will be our 14th season and we are very grateful that returning guests make up the majority of our bookings every year.

Because we give first option on reservations to returning guests pre-launch, availability on the official launch was limited and almost all availability booked up within the first 30 minutes after the launch at 14:30. We are sorry for any disappointment that this may cause. We hope that interested guests will join our mailing list to hear about suite cancellations, and if not successful in booking a suite, will consider visiting for dinner.

Please note that while we wish we had more availability to offer, there will be very little availability remaining for the official launch time above.  This is because we give first option on reservations to returning guests pre-launch.  2020 will be our 14th season and we are very grateful that returning guests make up the majority of our bookings every year.   

It currently looks like there will only be limited Midweek and Island Retreat Stay availability remaining on the official launch and we are sorry for any disappointment that this may cause. We hope that interested guests will join our mailing list to hear about reservations, and if not successful in booking a suite,cccccccfffffffffffffffff will consider visiting for dinner.

2021 Suite Reservations

These will not be launched officially until the end of the 2020 season. The launch date will be confirmed closer to the time.

2020 Restaurant Reservations

2020 Restaurant Reservations will be available to non-suite guests from the 13th of January 2020 by email to post@inismeain.com

The restaurant serves evening dinner only, and is open to non-suite guests from Wednesday to Saturday nights inclusive from April to August.  The schedule for non-suite guest dinner bookings in March, September and October will be confirmed in January.  It is necessary to stay on the island overnight to visit the restaurant for dinner and links to alternative places to stay on the island are available in our FAQ.

General Suite Reservation Information

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:

1. There are four stay types:
   - 4 night Island Retreat Stay (Mar, Sep & Oct only)
   Mon to Thurs inclusive with 4 Island Dinners & 2 Island Experiences
   - 2 night Midweek Stay (Apr to Aug only)
   Weds & Thurs
   - 2 night Weekend Stay (Apr to Aug only)
   Fri & Sat
   - 4 night Long Stay (Apr to Aug only)
   Weds to Sat inclusive.
2. The suites can only be booked online through our Availability Calendar with prepayment.
3. We can cater for a group with a maximum of 4 guests, in a maximum of 2 suites, for operational reasons.  If booking 2 suites they need to be booked separately online.
4. To preserve the quietness that guests are increasingly seeking, bookings are accepted for children over 12 only.
5. If you have a gift voucher for a stay, to make a reservation please email us at post@inismeain.com with your gift voucher number (these are no longer available to purchase).
