West of Ireland

Step into the West and you’ll discover a region that is rich with traditional culture, colourful festivals, warm hospitality and a backdrop of stunningly beautiful landscapes.

The West is typically wild and wonderful, with some incredible remote Atlantic Ocean islands, dramatic vertigo-inducing sea cliffs, pristine beaches and the awe-inspiring River Shannon, which weaves its way through tranquil countryside and never fails to impress.

It can also be surprisingly modern, with the lively, youthful and bohemian city of Galway boasting fashionable hotels, excellent conference facilities and an ambitious skilled workforce. And literary fans can unearth the genius of the late, great WB Yeats who drew inspiration from his youth in magical County Sligo.

Many of the region’s luxury hotels boast a huge variety of activities, from horse-riding and golfing to the adrenaline rush of adventure sports; while state-of-the-art amenities mean the West fits the bill as an international conference venue.
