Luxury Breaks Ireland

Why go on a Ireland luxury Holiday with Pelorus?

Because we go far beyond the guidebook. At Pelorus, we design immersive journeys that reveal Ireland’s wild soul and refined charm, combining world-class adventure with exclusive access.

We’ll get you kayaking through quiet bays with marine biologists, diving into kelp forests, or flying by helicopter to remote, uninhabited islands. Saddle up for a horseback trek through dramatic landscapes, or track whales and dolphins along the rugged coastline by private yacht.

And when it’s time to unwind? We know the best five-star hotels in Ireland, whether it’s an intimate private home or an opulent castle stay. Think clay pigeon shooting on private estates, candlelit dinners in hidden cellars, and private use of the country’s finest manor houses.

"Our clients are captivated by Ireland, and we love crafting journeys that embrace its rich culture. My favourite experience I designed for a client was tracing the iconic Guinness legacy and meeting with direct descendants of the family at their historic estate, a really wow experience.”
