2021 Season: ended in October
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.

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 make Inis Meáin Restaurant and Suites sustainable. As a tiny, seasonal, high-end business in a remote island location, our considerable additional costs have to be covered by a very small number of annual bookings for just 5 suites.
It has taken the first 11 years for the business to break-even, having reinvested significantly every year to constantly increase the quality of what we offer.
We will continue to reinvest, 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.
Our rates are what they are to support all of this and to protect the feasibility of Inis Meáin Restaurant & Suites into the future.
