Greetings from West Cork,
As the year draws to a close, we want to take a moment to thank you for your support in 2025. Whether you stayed with us, dined in our restaurant, or simply shared kind words with us, you have been an important part of our journey, and we are deeply grateful.
2025 was an exciting year for us, when we were named Ireland's Leading Hotel at the World Travel Awards. A year which also saw us welcome back many of our loyal repeat guests as well as lots of new faces. We hope you all enjoyed some special times with us over the year.
As usual we were also busy behind the scenes - we completed our Guest Bathroom Refurbishment programme, Balconies were upgraded in the apartments and a refurbishment of our Gulfstream Restaurant was completed. We are thrilled with the results and have loved the positive feedback from everyone.


We are really excited to be nominated in four categories at the the upcoming Gold Medal Awards ceremony in January. We are really pleased, as these nominations are testament to our wonderful team here and their hard work and dedication. Needless to say, we are very proud. We have been shortlisted for an award in the following categories:
Ireland’s Front of House Team
Ireland’s Guest Experience
Ireland’s Menu Provenance
Ireland’s Four Star Resort
This year, our guests have been lucky to experience some of the wonderful seaside adventures available with us. From learning to Surf on Inchydoney Beach, to Whale Watching off the coast and Starlight Kayaking on Lough Hyne. We really are very fortunate to such a wealth of great activities and suppliers in our area. Next year, we are excited to work with Gormú on our bespoke E-Bike Tours which will depart from the hotel and allow guests to discover the stunning coastline that surround us - all from the comfort of an electric bike. We cannot wait to share this new experience with everyone.



We have so much to look forward to and we hope to share it all with you. We can’t wait to welcome you back in 2026 for more relaxation, luxury, and memorable experiences.
Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year!
The Team at Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa
