Suaimhneas Villa with Castle and Sea Views | Villa in Clifden
5 Bedroom Villa in Clifden
Suaimhneas – Castle Demesne, Sky Road, Clifden
A name that means “serenity” in Irish yet embodies so much more.
If Ireland’s luxury rental scene were a constellation, Suaimhneas would be one of its brightest stars but it shines in a very particular way. Suaimhneas is for those who want modern luxury without losing the wild, untamed edge of the west coast of Ireland.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Connemara’s iconic Sky Road, this is one of Ireland’s most exclusive holiday homes. The property is a showpiece of modern coastal luxury, where architectural brilliance meets awe-inspiring natural beauty.
Just 3km from bustling Clifden, the house was designed to take full advantage of the natural Connemara landscape and overlooks the ruins of D'Arcy Castle. It also has spectacular 360-degree views across the bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
Inside, every detail speaks of refined luxury. This exceptional villa has been designed to make the most of its spectacular location, with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, flooding every room with natural light and framing panoramic views that shift with the tides and the skies.
A unique feature of Suaimhneas is a spectacular 3,000squarefoot private playground that turns every stay into an event. Here, all generations come together swapping pool shots in the fully equipped games room, battling it out on the rare indoor multisports court, or sinking into
deepcushioned sofas in the cinemastyle lounge as the latest blockbuster fills the big screen. A sleek bar keeps the conversation flowing from predinner cocktails to midnight toasts, while air hockey, darts, table football and table tennis spark hours of friendly rivalry. Whether it’s an energising start to the day or a cosy winddown after exploring Connemara, this lowerlevel retreat delivers luxury, laughter, and a sense of togetherness that lingers long after checkout.
On the middle level, the kitchen, dining room and drawing room are all interconnecting. A double-sided wood burner forms a warm and inviting focal point, linking elegant living spaces perfect for both quiet relaxation and sophisticated entertaining. The fully equipped Poggenpohl kitchen is a culinary dream, stocked with everything you could possibly need, and opens onto a large dining table where unforgettable meals are shared against a backdrop of endless blue and green. Walls of glass turn every moment into a moving painting, from dawn’s soft golds to the fiery spectacle of Atlantic sunsets. Here, meals are more than sustenance; they’re centrestage events, set against some of the most cinematic views in Ireland.
Five spacious en-suite bedrooms promise the ultimate in comfort, each a sanctuary designed for a peaceful night’s sleep, while a separate study on the upper floor offers a private retreat for those blending work and leisure.
Multiple balconies invite you to step out and breathe in the salty Atlantic air, while the expansive outdoor terrace, complete with an alfresco dining area, firepit seating, and plush lounge furniture, invites long, leisurely evenings under the stars.
Suaimhneas isn’t just somewhere to stay — it’s a stage for stories you’ll tell long after the holiday ends. It’s the kind of place where mornings begin with sunlight spilling across the bay, afternoons drift between adventure and indulgence, and nights close in the glow of firelight and friendship.
