Liss Ard Estate

Nestled in the verdant West Cork region known for being the culinary capital of Ireland, Liss Ard Estate recently joined the prestigious Relais & Châteaux network and epitomizes the enchantment of the Irish coast. Surrounded by a lush, 163-acre estate, this elegant, Georgian-style mansion is prized for the beauty of its natural surroundings. The recently renovated modern country style guest rooms boast generous natural light and are divided between several buildings: the Manor, Garden House, and Lake House. The award-winning restaurant at Liss Ard Estate, offers a farm-to-table dining experience, while the Wellness Centre sits lakeside and provides deeply healing treatments. The countryside escape is home to the world- known Sky Garden: a giant earth-and-stone crater lined with emerald grass, the work of landscape artist James Turrell, that beckons guests to experience the unique sensation of the earth and sky changing places. With only 26 rooms, including five suites, the intimate retreat makes for a perfect homebase for exploring the untamed landscapes of the Irish coast.
