The resort is located on Shura Island, one of the central islands within The Red Sea Project. This large-scale destination is designed as a collection of islands focused on luxury tourism and nature experiences. It already includes several open hotels, with more developments planned in the coming years. Shura Island itself is expected to host multiple resorts, a marina, and leisure facilities, making it a key hub in the wider project.

The new Four Seasons property is positioned on the eastern tip of the island, surrounded by sea on three sides. The layout is designed to offer privacy and direct access to the coastline. The resort includes 149 rooms and suites, along with 31 residences. All units are designed with sliding glass walls that open fully to the outdoors, creating a connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The architecture is inspired by desert trade caravans, with accommodation clusters spread across the landscape in a low-density design.

The resort focuses on relaxation, comfort, and family-friendly experiences. Guests can choose between three swimming pools, including one for families, one for adults, and a lap pool located at the spa. The wellness area includes a traditional hammam, hydrotherapy facilities, and treatment rooms inspired by natural elements such as salt and water. Dining is spread across several restaurants, including plant-forward dishes at Sea Green, Levantine cuisine at Al Forn, and Italian-inspired meals at Spiaggia.

The destination also places strong emphasis on activities and exploration. Guests staying at the resort can now take part in scuba diving excursions in the Red Sea, which is known for its coral reefs and rich marine life. Other options include catamaran sailing, water sports, and guided desert adventures such as electric quad biking. Private beach dinners are also available, offering a more intimate experience by the sea.

Sustainability is a key part of the resort’s concept and operations. The property is powered entirely by renewable energy and uses systems designed to reduce water and waste impact. This approach is part of the broader regenerative tourism model used by Red Sea Global. The goal is not only to reduce environmental harm but also to support long-term ecosystem protection in the region. This aligns with wider national tourism strategies linked to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

Accessibility to the destination has also been expanded to support growing demand. Travellers can reach Red Sea International Airport with direct flights from cities such as Milan, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha, and Dubai. The airport is located around a 25-minute drive from Shura Island, making access relatively smooth for an island destination. The wider Red Sea area currently has multiple hotels already open, with additional resorts planned to launch in the coming months.

The island, Makri, is part of the Echinades archipelago and has been repeatedly revalued over the past few years after initially being marketed as a high-end tourism opportunity. According to reports, it was previously listed at around €8 million before successive auctions and reassessments sharply reduced its estimated value, reflecting strict development limits and legal constraints tied to its protected status.

Makri is described as a largely untouched, uninhabited island with only a few abandoned structures remaining, including a small house, a water cistern and a chapel. It was designated as private land since 1985, with varying recorded surface areas between 956 and 1,300 hectares.

Its appeal is less about luxury and more about isolation, aligning with broader deadzoning travel trends that emphasise digital detox experiences, recharge and connection with nature.

However, the island’s protected classification significantly restricts what any future owner can do with it. It is also classified as forest land and falls within the EU’s Natura 2000 network of protected areas, meaning only minimal infrastructure and agricultural activity are permitted. Large-scale construction, including resort development, is effectively off the table.

That limitation is central to why the valuation has changed so dramatically. Earlier assessments assumed broader development potential, but later evaluations highlighted environmental protections and zoning restrictions that dramatically reduce commercial possibilities. As a result, what was once promoted as a potential luxury investment has become a far more niche asset, appealing primarily to those seeking private land ownership and seclusion rather than development opportunity. 

The upcoming auction is scheduled for 13 November 2026. Despite its low starting price compared to earlier listings, following a seizure for €60,000, potential buyers will need to factor in the island’s isolation, lack of infrastructure, and strict environmental protections. In practical terms, Makri offers a rare chance to own a private piece of the Ionian Sea — but not to reshape it into a developed resort destination.

The tower, designed by architects Rafael de la-Hoz and Hakim Benjelloun, rises 250 metres above the Moroccan capital region and officially opened in April. The mixed-use development includes offices, apartments, retail space and the luxury hotel, which has become one of the project’s flagship tenants.

The opening marks the debut of the Waldorf Astoria brand in Rabat-Salé and reflects growing international investment in Morocco’s tourism and hospitality sector. Guy Hutchinson, President for the Middle East and Africa at Hilton, said Morocco is “one of the world’s most rapidly evolving destinations,” noting the country welcomed more than 18 million tourists in 2025. He added that Rabat is expected to play “a growing role in the national ambition to reach 20 million by 2030.” 

“We are proud to bring the iconic Waldorf Astoria brand to Rabat-Salé, setting a new benchmark for refined luxury in Morocco’s capital. This opening marks an exciting new chapter for the brand as we continue to expand our luxury portfolio across key cities, offering discerning travellers unparalleled access to the heritage, artistry, and ambition that defines this destination,” Hutchinson added. 

The hotel features 55 rooms and suites spread across the upper floors of the tower, with views stretching from the Bouregreg River to the Atlantic Ocean and the Maâmoura forest. Hilton said each room includes a dedicated personal concierge service. Interiors combine contemporary luxury with Moroccan craftsmanship and celestial-inspired design motifs.

According to Hilton, the property houses nearly 7,000 artworks, making it one of North Africa’s largest private art collections. Dining venues include Peacock Alley, the signature Waldorf Astoria lounge concept, as well as Aldabaran, a restaurant created in collaboration with French chef Alain Ducasse. Additional concepts include Brasserie Magnolia and a forthcoming pan-Asian venue called The Sapphire Room. 

The spa and wellness facilities occupy the 31^st and 32^nd floors and include traditional Moroccan hammam treatments, as well as six specialised treatment rooms, a detoxifying Iyashi dome, a heated quartz sand table, an ice room and sauna. Beyond the spa, guests have access to an indoor pool, an ocean-facing infinity pool, a 24-hour gym and a relaxation lounge overlooking the Atlantic coast.

The opening also underscores Morocco’s wider ambitions to position itself as a regional hub for luxury tourism, business and international events. The Mohammed VI Tower, which appears on the country’s 200-dirham banknote, has been promoted by Moroccan officials as a symbol of economic modernisation and architectural ambition.

The Cal Neva Resort near Lake Tahoe has been attracting visitors ever since it first opened in 1926. However, its real heydays took place in the 1960s. Not only was the resort partly owned by Frank Sinatra at the time, but it was also a real celebrity hotspot.

A post shared by Dead Motels USA (@deadmotelsusa)

Amongst those who frequently visited Cal Neva were Dean Martin, John F. Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe. Allegedly, Monroe even spent the last few weeks of her life at the resort.

At that time, one of the unique features of the resort was its showroom, engineered in such a way that performers were able to see every face in the audience. Moreover, a network of private tunnels allowed guests to move throughout the resort while staying discreet.

A lot has changed for Cal Neva since the 1960s, and in 2013, the hotel closed down for a massive renovation. However, the resort never reopened, and instead, it changed hands a few times. In April 2023, a real estate firm then called McWhinney and now known as Realberry, purchased the resort for approximately $52 million.

A post shared by Realberry (@realberryinvest)

At the beginning of April 2026, Realberry announced it had been able to secur $298 million in order to restore the Cal Neva Resort. Realberry and Proper Hospitality will join forces for the venture and should open the Lake Tahoe Proper Resort and Casino by the end of 2027. 

“Cal Neva is one of the most storied hospitality properties in the West, and we feel a deep responsibility to get the execution right with Lake Tahoe Proper. Our focus has been on rigorous restoration, and this financing milestone allows us to continue to thoughtfully reestablish this asset as a premier hospitality destination in Lake Tahoe, balancing preservation and long-term stewardship,” Chad McWhinney, CEO of Realberry, stated in a press release.

Opening scheduled for 2027

The former Cal Neva Resort will thus be celebrating its 101^st anniversary in style with an entire makeover. The project includes 197 guest rooms, suites, and private villas, as well as a selection of restaurants and bars. The iconic Circle Bar will be at the heart of the project, while the on-site event spaces and 225-seat theatre and casino will get a revamp. Two outdoor pool spaces and a spa will complete the resort.

“Cal Neva is an American icon, and we wanted to bring it back the right way. What we’re building is rooted in Tahoe, with a focus on design, wellness, and being in nature. At the same time, we’re bringing music and culture back to the stage Frank Sinatra once played. It’s a place to reset, but also to be part of something,” Brad Korzen, co-founder and CEO of Proper Hospitality, told PEOPLE in a statement.

According to Realberry and Proper Hospitality, the project should respect the historic character of the hotel while boosting the Lake Tahoe tourism and economy.

Partnering with Expedia Group, Uber now allows customers to book hotels directly in the Uber app, offering US Uber users access to a selection of hotels, expected to grow to more than 700,000 properties around the world. Vrbo vacation rental properties will also be added later in 2026. As part of the deal, Uber rides will be integrated directly into the Expedia app beginning in June.

“Travel should feel effortless, and this partnership gets us one step closer to offering a seamless traveler experience,” said Expedia Group CEO Ariane Gorin. “By connecting our two-sided marketplace with Uber, we’re bringing Uber rides directly into the Expedia app and Expedia Group’s lodging inventory into the Uber app through our Rapid API technology.”

Gorin is right. Decision-fatigue is influencing travel trends. Call it an offer of “seamlessness,” or as Gorin does, “helping travelers spend less time planning and more time enjoying the journey,” or call it a way for Uber to lock more users into its platform, for more time, preventing their eyeballs and their spend from going to rival platforms. A report by the European Travel Commission (ETC) published in September 2026 warned of a future where the “dominance of global platforms drive mass tourism but erode authenticity.” This situation would leave small to medium enterprises (SMEs) struggling to compete, the ETC suggested, due to being marginalised by cost pressures and over-dependent on big tech platforms.

We’ve added hotel booking, personal shopping and more to the app so you can do less, and enjoy more pic.twitter.com/vHb511LvUa

— Uber (@Uber) April 29, 2026

That big tech ambition for dominance can be observed when Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, describes Uber becoming “an app for everything,” an app that claims to reduce today’s “real cognitive overload: too many apps, too many decisions, too much noise.” It promises to help users “claim their time, spending less of it managing the logistics of life.”

Enter Travel Mode. Within the Uber and Uber Eats apps, users will receive “curated recommendations on local favorites, popular tourist destinations, OpenTable reservations.” They can also order “Uber’s version of “room service” delivered directly to your hotel door, and even forgotten items for those traveling to new destinations.” As an Uber press release puts it: “Users can now think of the Uber app as a personal travel concierge.”

Forget wandering the local market, Uber users do not even have to go shopping themselves while they are on the move. The new Shop for Me feature allows them to “request items from any store—even those not listed on the app.” Uber’s example delivery requests include “a last-minute gift, a favorite NY Strip from the local butcher, or a 10-inch snake plant.”

Another new feature in the release proposes a hands-free “conversational” AI voice assistant in Voice Bookings that will understand the user’s spoken destination and preferences, and present “the best options for your needs.” Meanwhile, Uber Black or Uber Black SUV customers get the possibility to ask their driver to “arrive with a drink or snack in hand”. Once your Uber Reserve has been confirmed, simply tap “add Uber Eats” to enjoy a coffee, tea, or bite on the go.

And, again keeping Uber users locked into the Uber ecosystem, the firm says it has “redesigned the Where to? bar so all searches will populate results for places, food, and items across the Uber platform. Whether booking a ride or ordering delivery, search once and Uber will connect the dots.”

Questions remain about whether today’s travel consumers really want their on-the-go experience or, as the press release says, their “opportunity through movement” to be constrained within one ecosystem’s “dots.” Trend analyses show that consumers increasingly want bespoke itineraries, community connection, and authenticity, but data also reveals they are also increasingly willing to seek out those things with the help of technology.

Located on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, Cartagena is known for its stunning views and its UNESCO-listed walled city centre. Its flamboyant character has been attracting tourists for years, and that attractiveness is unlikely to dwindle with the arrival of Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Cartagena.

“Our team is thrilled to share the city we proudly call home with guests from near and far. Cartagena is an incredibly dynamic destination – alive with history, colour, and culture – and we’ve curated bespoke experiences that reflect its vibrant spirit. With a deep love for the city, our team is dedicated to crafting thoughtful, personalised itineraries that celebrate what inspires you most,” stated General Manager Annie Monnier.

The newly-opened Four Seasons is located in Cartagena’s Getsemaní neighbourhood. The hotel and residences are partly spread over a number of historic buildings, such as a theatre, a 16^th-century San Francisco cloister, and the 1920s Club Cartagena.

“Welcoming a third Four Seasons to Colombia, joining our Bogotá and Casa Medina Bogotá properties, marks an important milestone in the continued expansion of our global portfolio. In partnership with the ownership group, San Francisco Investments, and an inspiring team of creative and culinary visionaries, we are proud to introduce a Four Seasons experience defined by genuine care, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a deep connection to Cartagena’s unique character,” said Rainer Stampfer, Four Seasons President, Global Operations, Hotels and Resorts.

The hotel has 131 rooms, 27 of which are located inside the historic buildings, and was designed by the late decorator François Catroux. The complex also counts several private residences, which are up for sale and were made by Rodriguez Valencia Arquitectos.

The Four Seasons, located just outside the walled city, combines Cartagena’s historic legacy and Caribbean spirit. During the renovation works, architects and designers alike were asked to preserve the Spanish colonial character of the buildings as much as possible.

Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Cartagena also offers a wide range of extra services. Two rooftop pools look out over the city, the Umari Spa is the ideal place to book a treatment, and several event spaces leave room for business meetings and ceremonies. Moreover, no less than eight bars and restaurants are supposed to turn the complex into a culinary destination in itself.

• The Grand Grill is a modern interpretation of the classic steakhouse tradition featuring premium cuts and seafood in the elegant setting of the former Club Cartagena, a concept developed by Major Food Group.
• Bar Lelarge, also located in the former Club Cartagena and named for its original architect Gastón Lelarge, perfectly complements The Grand Grill in an intimate, sophisticated setting. Its cocktail program highlights local, seasonal fruits with a subtle Cuban influence, alongside premium spirits and fine wines, conceptualised by Major Food Group.
• Café Rialto celebrates one of the country’s greatest gifts to the world, speciality Colombian coffees paired with freshly baked pastries and luscious desserts available to savour at leisure in the chic café, or to go while exploring the city.

• El Aljibe is a nod to both the water cistern that once stood here and the “watering hole” it has become – as the city’s first speakeasy, a hidden enclave of craft cocktails and gourmet bites.
• El Patio del Limonar is where the day begins at Four Seasons, in an open-air courtyard with a tempting buffet of local, regional and international breakfast specialities, plus interactive stations for a made-to-order morning.
• El Palmar, with its sweeping 360-degree rooftop views, is an elevated escape from the lively streets below, and a perfect spot to take in spectacular Caribbean sunsets, glass in hand, as music accompanies the moment.
• Atrio is the heart of the hotel, where international travellers and local residents gather in a lively lobby lounge set beneath a soaring glass ceiling, with striking black and white marble floors and lush greenery evoking an old-world tropical ambience.

In celebration of its grand opening, the hotel is extending an Introductory Offer, featuring 20% savings plus daily breakfast at the time of writing.

Margate, in Kent on the UK’s southeast coast, was a maritime port in the Middle Ages, and became popular with holidaymakers in the 18^th century as access became easier via the river Thames, and the advent of the railways allowed people to experience the benefits of sea bathing. Later, the legendary local theme park, Dreamland, evolved and still offers historic rides, classic side shows, and eateries, plus an exciting calendar of festivals and events.

In the 20^th century, the town had enough cachet for the Nayland Rock to welcome famous guests, including English actor and filmmaker, Charlie Chaplin, Nobel prize-winning poet TS Eliot, and rock star Mick Jagger. It has also served as a filming location.

A post shared by Lucie Tomlinson (@lucieinthesky67)

TS Eliot’s poem, The Wasteland, was not inspired by the place, but the hotel did enter into a period of decline with the rise of package holidays, as British tourists sought sunshine and began taking cheap flights to destinations in Greece and Spain. During the early 2000s, Nayland even housed asylum seekers. Now, the building permissions documents submitted to the local authority note its “extremely poor state of repair.”

The developers, Arcvelop and Brede Hotels, aim to revive their fortunes and those of the town itself, with a dream to “restore the former grandeur of the building” by returning “a locally significant historic building back into active use.” While local destination manager, Visit Kent notes that the town still boasts “traditional holiday-town charm, a world-class art gallery, sandy beaches (a rare treasure in the UK), and “cool café culture,” it remains synonymous in some people’s eyes with faded glamour. Arcvelop say their plan ties in with “regeneration efforts” and will bring a “positive boost” to the locality.

If approved, the hotel, which occupies a Victorian crescent, will be turned into 50 flats, 16 holiday lets, and a two-floor commercial space expected to become a hospitality venue. The developers emphasise that they intend to preserve the character of the place by “enhancing, restoring and redefining the Royal Crescent” and even reintroducing former character features such as pillars.

Ground could break on the project by the end of 2026, with the works expected to cost around £20 million and take two and a half years to complete.

L’article Iconic UK seaside hotel that once welcomed Mick Jagger could get £20 million makeover est apparu en premier sur Travel Tomorrow.

The transformation will include redesigned guestrooms, updated public areas, and a new arrival experience for guests. One of the main changes is the expansion of the Voyager 47 Club Lounge, which will become three times larger than before. The new rooms are expected to be ready by the third quarter of 2026, while the rest of the project will be completed later. The redesign will also improve how guests move through the hotel, creating more open spaces that connect directly to the ocean.

The location of the resort is especially important, as Waikīkī is known as the birthplace of modern surfing. This is where Duke Kahanamoku, often called the father of modern surfing, helped introduce the sport to the world. The renovation takes this history into account by including cultural and natural references in its design. For example, the project highlights the historic ʻĀpuakēhau Stream, which once flowed through the area and shaped the landscape. The concept of “barefoot luxury” is also central, meaning a relaxed form of comfort that focuses on nature, culture, and simplicity rather than formal luxury.

Local culture plays an important role in the redesign, with Hawaiian artists and cultural experts involved in the project. The design is inspired by the land, the ocean, and the traditions of the area, rather than following a generic hotel style. Materials, patterns, and layouts are chosen to reflect the history of the place and its people. This approach is becoming more common in tourism, as travellers increasingly look for authentic experiences. By working with local partners, the resort aims to create a space that feels connected to its surroundings.

Even with these changes, some of the resort’s most popular features will remain the same. Well-known venues such as Duke’s Waikīkī, Hula Grill, and Blue Note Hawaiʻi will continue to welcome guests. Places that are known for live music, food, and a relaxed atmosphere that reflects island life. They are also popular with both visitors and local residents, which helps maintain a sense of community.

Hawaiʻi continues to attract millions of visitors each year, many of whom come for ocean activities and natural beauty. The islands are famous for their beaches, coral reefs, and water sports such as snorkelling and surfing. In places like Waikīkī, visitors can easily access the ocean and take part in these activities. This strong connection to nature is one of the main reasons why tourism remains important in the region. The renovation reflects a broader trend where hotels focus more on experiences rather than just accommodation.

The resort will remain open during the renovation, allowing guests to continue staying there while work is ongoing. This means visitors may see parts of the transformation happening in real time, which is unusual for a project of this size. The hotel will continue to operate its main services and welcome guests throughout the process. With the first new rooms expected in 2026, the project will gradually reveal its changes over time. The investment shows how the resort is adapting to new expectations while staying connected to its past.

Broadly speaking, there are two types of travellers. On the one hand, there are those who first decide on a city or area when booking their next vacation. On the other hand, there are those who fall in love with a certain hotel or holiday rental and plan their trip accordingly. A recent survey by Airbnb found that over half of respondents said a unique or interesting listing would inspire them to visit a destination they hadn’t previously considered. Moreover, 86% of surveyed travellers indicated to be interested in visiting remote or rural destinations.

Those trends are certainly reflected in Airbnb’s list of most-wish-listed accommodations for 2026. The full overview of all the top holiday rentals per state can be found through Airbnb, but we have already made a selection of our favourites in order to inspire you for your next stay.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Eppstein House (Galesburg, Michigan)

Architecture lovers need to look no further than Frank Lloyd Wright’s Eppstein House in Galesburg, Michigan. The thorough restoration was finished in 2017 and equipped the building with all modern comforts, while respecting its integrity as an architectural gem.

“Built in 1949 as part of Wright’s Usonian community in The Acres, the Eppstein House reflects many hallmarks of the style: a strong horizontal emphasis, flat rooflines, cantilevered overhangs, and a seamless flow between interior and exterior spaces. The home is furnished with original Wright-designed pieces and curated period-appropriate furnishings that preserve the aesthetic unity and organic material palette that define Usonian architecture,” the listing reads.

Maximum capacity: 6

Romantic Montana A-Frame (Jefferson City, Montana)

Set between the Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, this A-Frame cottage is a great option for those who are fond of the wilderness but don’t like camping all that much. It is still possible to enjoy a campfire, to gaze at the stars, and to spend some precious time with family or friends, yet the hot tub, cozy, comfortable interiors, and the prime location are hard to find elsewhere.

Maximum capacity: 6

Mid-Century Glass Octagon in the Berkshires (Otis, Massachusetts)

When in need of a relaxing holiday amidst the woodlands, this octagonal mid-century house is a safe and luxurious bet. The fireplace and the nearby skiing areas are perfect during the coldest months of the year, while the spacious patio with its grill, fire pit, and sun chairs livens up a Summer stay.

Maximum capacity: 4

Key West Outpost: eco-vacation (Key West, Florida)

Annoying neighbours can be a real issue, both at home and when on holiday. Thankfully, there is no need to take that factor into account when booking the Key West Outpost. The off-grid conch cottage sits on the backcountry waters surrounding Key West and is the ideal place to calm down and observe. Guests can paddleboard, kayak, and even do some light tackle fishing right off the boat, while enjoying basic camping amenities.

“The Outpost is the ultimate glamping experience. You’ll have all the amenities of home, with the understanding that you are still on a boat,” the listing explains.

Maximum capacity: 4

Sunset Silo (Wildersville, Tennessee)

Set next to Tennessee’s largest state park, Natchez Trace State Park, Sunset Silo offers everything one could ask from a small but mighty adventurer’s headquarters. The outdoor hot tub, the magnificent sunsets, the minimalistic interior… It’s hard to imagine a setting better suited to enjoy a romantic couple’s weekend.

Maximum capacity: 2

Robert Bruno Steel House (Ransom Canyon, Texas)

If living an out-of-this-world experience is at the top of your bucket list, the Robert Bruno Steel House might be a dream come true. The sculptured metal construction seems to defy all architectural rules, while the oddly-shaped windows offer breathtaking views over the surrounding area and Lake Ransom Canyon. A stay you won’t soon forget.

“The Bruno house is not simply a place to stay on your travels; it is a destination all on its own. You will want to stay inside all day to see how sunlight, reflected through stained glass and curved windows, changes the interior landscape from moment to moment. This house is truly a marvel. I’m so glad it’s open to the public for everyone to experience,” a previous guest writes.

Maximum capacity: 8

Dome Sweet Dome (El Prado, New Mexico)

Staying in a monolithic dome might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the building is certainly well-adapted to its surroundings, offering a well-insulated home base during hot summer days in the desert. The on-site yoga necessities, the steam room, and the hot tub looking out over the landscape offer a welcome distraction from the outside world.

The Village at Lyons, just 30 minutes by car from the Irish capital, sits on the Grand Canal between Dublin and the River Shannon. The eight-hectare estate stands where an early medieval royal site and a flour mill once lay.

The site fell into disuse and disrepair after a fire at the mill, but was purchased by Tony Ryan, the founder of Ryanair, in 1996, and renovated and restored by craftspeople for an estimated IR£80 million. It is now owned by businessman Barry O’Callaghan, who bought it in 2016, after Ryan’s death. It has been operating as a five-star hotel and wedding venue under the name Cliff Lyons.

It now promises a lucky new owner both grandeur and the good life. Impressive gates give way to a tree-lined approach among established gardens, lakes, orchards, and water fountains, as well as an outdoor Zen lounge and full spa, plus a hot tub and a yoga space.

A home theatre, artist’s studio, a billiards room, and library ensure buyers will get their dose of culture and entertainment, while the sleeping accommodation includes 47 rooms, including in seven self-catering, two-bedroom cottages covered in climbing roses, four larger estate lodges, and four apartments. It should be noted that the 10-bedroomed main house, a Georgian neoclassical gem, is not for sale at this time.

The village decor, however, boasts period features, including vaulted and cathedral ceilings, ornate fireplaces, arched and round windows, portraits, cottage and castle-core fabrics and colours, and modern bathroom and kitchen fixtures and fittings. And for those who prefer to let someone else do the cooking, dining, and hospitality venues, such as the Pantry Coffee Shop, the Orangery, and the high-ceilinged Shackleton Mill, are intact. Aimsir, a two-Michelin-starred on-site eatery, closed in early 2025.

Sotheby’s International Realty highlights the outstanding opportunity the property represents to own a piece of Irish history. In the property listing, the agent says: “Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire an entire village of such architectural integrity and character. The Village at Lyons represents not simply a property, but a living piece of Irish heritage, where re-crafted centuries-old stone buildings, landscaped courtyards, gardens complete with a feature lake and water mill combine to create a setting of exceptional charm and distinction.”
