If you want to feel the sand between your toes or stroll along the beach at sunset, you will want a beach right on your doorstep. Here are some gorgeous Irish beachfront hotels, whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or a family-friendly escape.

Portmarnock Hotel, Dublin 

Portmarnock Hotel lies on the Velvet Strand, a stunning uninterrupted coastline located just 15 minutes from Dublin airport. The five-mile-long beach is ideal for an early morning run or a nice stroll with the family as the sun sets. Nearby you will find picturesque fishing villages like Howth and Malahide, where you will find the best seafood straight from the harbour.

Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa, Cork 

Inchydoney feels a world away and arriving at the hotel to the sound of the crashing waves on the shore below is instantly soothing. The beach is as much a feature of the hotel as anything else, with the spa and restaurant positioned to take full advantage of the views.
