Waterville - the BEST place to stay on the Ring of Kerry!

Enjoy Waterville - the only seafront village on the famous Ring of Kerry in Southwest Ireland.  Whether you're looking for world-class golf, beautiful scenery known for its spectacular light, fantastic food, or a quiet pint at a historic Irish pub, Waterville has you covered. With a history of hospitality for over 200 years, we know how to care for our guests.

Dine in our first-class restaurants serving local food - lobster, mussels, salmon, prawns - Waterville is the seafood capital of Ireland! Enjoy fresh Kerry lamb or grass-fed beef from just around the corner. End your evening with the best of Irish gins or whiskeys..... Sleep late and do it all again!

Go to bed after watching waves crashing on the rocks under a breathtaking sunset - then wake up in the morning and see the sunrise reflected in still lake water, as still as a mirror!

Sip a hot whisky standing on a hillside in the middle of the night while a sea of stars opens up above you; Iveragh peninsula is home to the Kerry Dark Sky Reserve - the only Silver Reserve in the northern hemisphere. The star gazing is mind-blowing!

Go for a walk, a cycle, a paddle or a round of golf.  Relax in a hot bath after a day of sport. Whatever you do, slow down, relax, take a deep breath - and take a break in Waterville.

The longer you stay, the more you discover!
