Discover more about Inis Meáin Island Stays

Inis Meáin Restaurant & Suites offers an immersive experience on Inis Meáin, the middle and least visited of the Aran Islands. Founded by Ruairí and Marie-Thérèse de Blacam, the hotel was created to allow guests to best experience the island's unique location. The hotel's architecture, designed by Shane de Blacam, blends seamlessly with the rugged terrain, using hand-carved local limestone. The restaurant emphasizes local and sustainable cuisine, with ingredients sourced from the island itself. Lobster and crab are caught by local fishermen, vegetables and herbs are grown using seaweed fertilizer, and wild foods are foraged from the shoreline. The intimate restaurant seats just sixteen diners, creating a homely feel perfect for conversation and relaxation. Inis Meáin itself offers a peaceful escape with ancient forts, dramatic cliffs, and a rich cultural heritage. Visitors can explore Dún Chonchúir, an ancient stone fort, and Synge's Chair, a scenic spot where playwright John Millington Synge found inspiration. The island is also home to the Inis Meáin Knitting Company, known for its high-quality knitwear made from premium yarns.
