We’re feeling very proud of this one. 💙

At the weekend, Pol O’Conghaile included Connemara Sands at No. 43 in the Irish Independent Hot 100 Hotels 2026 — and we couldn’t have asked for a lovelier review.

Especially these words:

“…when the staff are vibing, people enjoy what they do, and there’s a grá for welcoming guests, that goes a long way.”

We’ll take that.

A huge thank you to our team for bringing the grá every day, and to our guests — 60% of whom are returning visitors. That’s something we’re incredibly proud of.

Special shout out to our wonderful Chef Sinead Quinn!

No. 43 in the Irish Independent Hot 100 Hotels 2026.

Thank you, Irish Independent & Pól O’Conghaile 🤍

We’re absolutely delighted to be named among Ireland’s Top 100 Hotels for 2026 — and even more delighted to have climbed from no66 last year to no43 this year!

A huge thank you to our wonderful team, whose hard work, care and attention make Connemara Sands what it is, and to all of our guests who choose to stay, dine, relax and unwind with us.

And thank you to the Irish Independent for recognising the best of Irish hospitality and for including us in this year’s Hot 100 Hotels.

We’re incredibly proud of this little place by Mannin Bay — and of everyone who helps make it special.

Here’s to 43!

The season is getting a little longer… 🌊

For the first time in 8 years, we’re open until 11th December.

Think crisp coastal walks, sauna after to warm up, padel games with friends, cosy evenings and the wild beauty of Connemara in its winter mood.

There’s something rather special about having the coast almost to yourself.

Autumn is for slowing down.

Sea air.
Long walks.
Good food.
A sauna.
And nowhere you need to be.

Stay with us this autumn and enjoy a complimentary sauna session with your booking.

(Pre booking required, till end of season 2026)

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.

Two minutes from the beach

For the first time in several years, Connemara Sands will remain open until 11th December, giving you more time to enjoy our little corner of 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.
