Here’s 5 reasons why you’ll love a romantic glamping break at Aran Camping and Glamping.

1. Trying Something New

The concept of glamping has been around a while now, but if this is your first time, you are in for a real treat! Glamping offers all the benefits of regular camping, such as a sense of getting closer to nature and leaving problems behind, but none of the hassle. You don’t need to worry about setting a tent up in the wind, being cold at night, or rain making everything wet. In a glamping pod, you are snugly shielded from all the elements in a nice, cosy glamping unit purposefully designed to make your stay a pleasant and relaxing one. The glamping units on Inis Mor have a design based on the famous stone beehive shaped huts the island is well known for. Each one is self contained, and there is also access to a communal kitchen and BBQ area. They are also ideally sized for couples, and have a cute, homely feel!

2. Quality time together

Nowadays, our lives seem to revolve around the gadgets we surround ourselves with. It seems that it’s getting harder and harder to have something as simple as a good conversation. Getting away to the Aran Islands on a romantic glamping break, you can leave all the tech behind, and enjoy each other’s company the way it should be. Share some laughs, some special moments, and rekindle your romance with just the two of you. There are few places on earth which can offer such a distraction free environment. We don’t want to give you the impression that you are totally isolated though! You will find the locals friendly, and are sure to make friends with other people staying at the site.

3. Relax

One of the best things about glamping, is that it takes all the hassle away from camping. There is no need to worry about whether or not you packed the tent pegs, spending hours setting camp up just to find you misjudged where the sun will rise, or getting wet through leaky canvas when it rains. You simply turn up, but your things in the glamping pod, and relax. It really is that easy!. You are also going to get a far better night’s sleep staying in a glamping unit than when camping as well. There’s no rocks or hard ground to think of, and you won’t be woken up with every slightest noise. Instead, you can get a perfect night’s sleep, and have a lay-in in the morning for as long as you want to. It’s your vacation, so relax!

4. Eat Alfresco and look up at the stars at night

There’s something special about firing up the BBQ and eating outdoors. A sense that the priorities of life are really just reduced to the simple things that matter – The person you are with and the peace of nature. Breath in that fresh air, cook a feast, and then eat outside as you see the moon and stars appear overhead at night. Add in a glass of wine or two for the ultimate in romantic glamping!

5. Location is everything

Our final reason why you will love a romantic glamping break at Aran Camping and Glamping, is due to the location. Beautiful Inis Mor has inspired poets and writers for years, and is sure to inspire you as well! Walking along the stunning cliffs, exploring ancient forts, and taking a bike ride around the island are just some of the ways to see this remarkable place.

Here’s just some of the things you can see when glamping together at Inis Mór.

Things to see and do on Inis Mór

Forts & Ruins – Dún Aonghasa (Dun Aengus)

The Fort of Aengus is perhaps the island’s most famous attraction with visitors. It is designed in a semi-circular fashion, and sits right on a cliff’s edge above the Ocean. The fort is the biggest of the prehistoric ruins on the island, and to reach it involves walking about one kilometre from the visitors centre. Although it is not known exactly when the fort was built, most of the structure is said to date from the bronze and iron ages, with the first construction going back as far as 1100 BC. As you might expect from its commanding position, their are some spectacular views to be had from the fort!

Dún Duchathair (The Black Fort)

The Black Fort now appears to be smaller than Dún Aonghasa, but in its heyday, was thought to be much bigger. It is a much quieter place to visit as it receives far fewer visitors than its more famous counterpart. Within the walls are the remains of Clocháns, the type of stone hut on which the glamping accommodation design was based.

Na Seacht dTeampaill (The Seven Churches)

Although the name indicates seven churches, the remains here are actually of just two churches but with several other domestic buildings. It was a monastic settlement, and a well known place of pilgrimage.

Clochan na Carraige

We have to mention this, as it is the influence for the glamping units on Inis Mor! It is designed in almost a beehive structure, and is the best preserved example of similar huts that were common all across the island at one time.
