You step through a shiplap door and gasp - wow. Through 30m of floor-to-ceiling glass, you’re met with an uninterrupted panorama of Dog's Bay’s iconic pure white beaches. This brand new glass villa has Ireland’s most spectacular view. Inside, relaxing on a massage recliner, you’re immersed in modern luxury. Beyond the spacious open-plan kitchen and living space, two symmetrical master suites await you – perfect for couples holidaying together. Relax in the seclusion of your own wing in a super king bed, with 6m high walls of glass providing wraparound sea views. Take a soak in your ensuite, savouring the most special view you’ll ever experience from a bathtub. After a day exploring Connemara’s world-class scenery, you might rustle up dinner on the Bora hob in the state-of-the-art German kitchen. Then curl up on the generous corner sofa, wrapped around a creamy Bath stone fireplace, and watch a movie on the 75-inch screen with flames flickering. When you’re ready to retire, follow a trail of glowing stepping stones to your deluxe hot tub overlooking the moonlit beaches. And toast "sláinte" to another day of fun and relaxation tomorrow.

If you manage to pull yourselves away from your private sanctuary, you can experience breathtaking beach and mountain scenery. The mile-long stretch of beach sand, called Dog's Bay, is made entirely of fragments of seashells, which give it that pure white colour. Hike in Connemara’s unspoiled national park, kayak in Killary Fjord, cycle the dazzling Sky Road, or practise your putting at one of the world’s most scenic (and challenging!) links courses. Friendly donkeys and cows will be your only neighbours in your private oasis. But you can also experience the world-famous fun of Irish “craic” in cheerful pubs brimming with traditional live music and good times. If all this activity generates an appetite, head to the scenic town of Clifden (25 minutes’ drive away) for fine-dining restaurants and gastropubs serving the freshest local produce. Or visit Roundstone (5 minutes’ drive away) to share a creamy Guinness at this colourful village's friendly gathering spot. Known fondly to locals as “the wall”, this is the place for some great chat while looking out across the harbour to the beautiful Twelve Bens.
