The design links two buildings that step down seven levels toward the sea, with slate-clad walls and 39 rooms, every one facing Ardmore Bay. Its Michelin-starred House Restaurant, led by Dutch chef Martijn Kajuiter, earned its star within 18 months of opening, and the hotel includes the Wells Spa with an indoor infinity pool.
