Host Your Next Event on the Aran Islands: Yoga Retreats, Hiking Clubs & More

Some events change people. Not because of the schedule or the speakers, but because of where they happen. On Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands, every moment feels different: the salty air, the wide Atlantic horizon, the sound of waves on limestone cliffs. Hosting your retreat or group event at Aran Islands Hotel means weaving that magic into your gathering - whether it’s a yoga retreat, hiking club, book circle, or creative workshop.

More Than a Venue, an Experience

Like MollyFest brings people together through yoga, music, and community, we offer a space where your group can escape the ordinary and dive into something deeper. Here, time slows, connections strengthen, and inspiration feels natural.

Picture it: morning meditation by the sea, a group hike to Dún Aonghasa, a shared meal of fresh island produce, and an evening of conversation under the stars. It’s not just an event, it’s a memory that everyone takes home.


Spaces That Work for You

We’ve designed our hotel to be flexible for different group needs:

  • Indoor rooms for workshops, classes, and discussions

  • Outdoor decks and green spaces for yoga flows, creative circles, or mindful practice with the Atlantic as backdrop

  • Restaurant and bar for shared meals that nourish the body and bring people together

  • On-site chalets and hotel rooms so your group can stay close, bond, and fully immerse in the retreat atmosphere

Build a Retreat Around the Island

Inis Mór is more than scenery, it’s an active participant in your event.

  • Yoga & Wellness: Salute the sun on the beach, or flow on the cliffs with only the Atlantic before you.

  • Hiking Clubs: Walk ancient paths, explore stone forts, and discover secret beaches.

  • Book & Creative Groups: Find quiet corners for reading, writing, or art, with endless inspiration outside the window.

  • Adventure Retreats: Kayak, cycle, or paddleboard together for shared adrenaline and laughter.

Like MollyFest, where the festival is as much about community as practice, here your retreat becomes a blend of activity, connection, and island discovery.


Easy to Reach, Hard to Leave

Though it feels remote, Inis Mór is only a ferry or short flight away. Once here, everything is handled: accommodation, dining, event spaces, and support from our team. That way, you can focus entirely on your group, while we take care of the details.
