Clare Island Lighthouse
Clare Island, Mayo, Ireland · Independent · Accessible Luxury
A working-island lighthouse off County Mayo, once in waters watched by pirate queen Gráinne Ní Mháille, now takes storm-watching weekends with 360-degree views of sea cliffs, Atlantic swell, and Achill Island to the north. Condé Nast Traveler sends guests down the track to organic Macalla Farm for garden lunches when the weather eases. There are no televisions; dinner is communal. The Achill room faces the bay wall to wall; a Sauna Suite sits apart for extra quiet.
