Celebrating a milestone 25th anniversary in business this year, the team at Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa are thrilled to accept the award. Speaking about the announcement, owner and founder of the resort, Des O’Dowd said, “We’re delighted to be named as Ireland’s Leading Hotel 2023 by the World Travel Awards. We were nominated in a very competitive category alongside hotels we really admire which makes this award very special.” He continued, “Giving our guests the best experience we can is what drives our team and makes us want to continually improve and grow and it is really fantastic to see our efforts recognised.”
Located in the most spectacular location on the Blue Flag Inchydoney Beach, the resort offers cosy but contemporary accommodation and the warmest of West Cork welcomes to all their guests. A big supporter of their location, Inchydoney uses local suppliers and producers throughout the hotel which adds to its sense of belonging perfectly to this beautiful part of Ireland.
