What a way to celebrate the Connemara Sands Padel Club Founding Members 🎾
A huge thank you to our founding members whose support helped get the club off the ground from day one. Seeing all these players, friends and families on court together was a special moment for us all.
The courts were buzzing all morning with great matches, laughs, sambos, coffee and even a few four-legged supporters.
We’re excited for the rest of the season and for many more days like this at Connemara Sands.

A room with a view… and a view beyond the ordinary ✨

Our Luxury Duplex Double Seaview rooms offer a front-row seat to the ever-changing beauty of Mannin Bay — from golden morning light across the water to the mountains rising behind the bay.

Unwind in your private living space, step into a warm bath overlooking Connemara’s landscape, and let the pace of coastal life take over.

A peaceful escape where nature, comfort and understated luxury come together on the Wild Atlantic Way.

Imagine waking up to these views, with Mannin Bay stretching out before you and the Twelve Bens changing colour with the autumn light… 🍂🌊

Whether you’re planning a peaceful November escape, a padel weekend with friends, or (yes, we’ll say it!) an early Christmas get-together, we’d love to welcome you.

Some shots are worth leaving the ground for. 💥🎾

The energy on our new padel courts has been incredible, and we’re loving seeing everyone getting into the game.

This Summer, whether you’re playing for the first time or you’re already hooked, there’s no better place to rally than by the sea.

Who’s joining us for a game?

When the sun is shining, the hotel is buzzing… but how can you resist a quick dip in Mannin Bay? 🌊☀️

Between check-ins, coffees, and everything else that keeps us busy, we couldn’t let this perfect summer day pass by without cooling off in the crystal-clear waters right on our doorstep.

Forgive the rough edit… sometimes you just have to put the phone down and jump in. 💙

Who else has been making the most of this incredible weather?

We’re delighted to share this news…

Connemara Sands Hotel & Spa has been recognised in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards 2026, placing us among the top 1% of hotels worldwide and No. 14 in Ireland in the Small Hotel category.

For a small, family run, independent hotel on the edge of the Atlantic, this means so much.

What makes it more special is that these awards are based entirely on guest reviews. Every stay and every kind word has helped make this possible.

To everyone who has chosen to spend time with us on the shores of Mannin Bay – thank you. Whether you’ve visited once or returned year after year, you’ve become part of our story.

And to our incredible team, whose warmth, care and hard work make Connemara Sands what it is, thank you for everything you do.

✨ Thank you for being part of our journey.
