For travellers seeking something truly different, Ireland’s lighthouses offer an unforgettable place to stay. Perched on dramatic headlands and remote coastlines, these historic landmarks combine isolation, history, and breathtaking ocean views — perfect for those who want to experience Ireland unrushed and close to nature.

From simple, heritage-rich cottages to beautifully designed luxury retreats, each offers a rare glimpse into life on Ireland’s edge.
