The Venue. Killary Lodge.

Killary Lodge sits on 185 acres of wild rugged Connemara. With magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and sea, it is the perfect place to sit and watch the sunset over Killary Fjord, surrounded by nature. The lodge is nestled within mature native woodland, offering a little slice of paradise.

An inner sense of well-being comes naturally amidst the serene surroundings of The Killary Lodge, within the raw beauty of Connemara. Overlooking Killary Fjord, the lodge frames some of the most dramatic scenery in Ireland. From the northern shore of Killary Harbour rises Mweelrea, the highest mountain in Connacht. To the south, there is the imposing panorama of the Maumturk Mountains and the Twelve Bens.

Offering a true escape away from reality, at The Killary Lodge the sounds of traffic are replaced by bird song and the rustle of ancient trees. Instead of crowds, there is a vast array of birds and wildlife including barnacle goose, mallard duck, mute swan, seals, otters and dolphins.

There is private access to an area on the Killary Fjord for swimming (on a stoney beach). There are also plenty of beautiful sandy beaches in the local area. During your retreat, you can explore the local area and Connemara visiting local tourist attractions. There is also a wide range of adventure activities available onsite for those who want to get out into the landscape and onto the water to get a different perspective.

THE LODGE
Yet, right in the heart of nature, be assured that there is no need to forgo the desire for comfort. Managed by the Youngs (a family famed for the establishment of Killary Adventure Centre in 1979) a warm welcome and every modern, environmentally conscious convenience awaits Killary Lodge guests.
