Aran Islands Camping and Glamping has 24 specially designed glamping pods, with each one able to accommodate up to four or six people. These Clochán na Carraige, or Clochán’s for short, have a design based on the look of the old beehive shaped stone huts that can still be found on parts of the island and around Ireland. Whereas these huts were quite Spartan abodes used by reclusive monks, the Clochán’s are the complete opposite. Our larger Tigín glamping rooms are inspired by traditional Irish cottages but with a modern twist and can sleep up to six people. They are all fully self-contained and equipped with everything you need to feel as though you are at home from the moment your step through the door.
