What an unforgettable week 🙌
It was an incredible honour to host @rorymcilroy and his family at Dunluce Lodge during The Open ⛳️🏌️♂️
Welcoming one of golf’s all-time greats, just steps from @royalportrushgolfclub was truly special for our entire team.
Thank you, Rory, for choosing to stay with us. We hope it felt like home. 💚

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the importance of rest, stillness, and taking time to truly unwind.
At The Spa at Dunluce Lodge, our Drift and Dream ritual was designed to calm both body and mind, a deeply soothing full-body experience inspired by the restorative rhythm of the coast.
Beginning with guided breathwork and the gentle sounds of the ocean drum, warm @_seabody seaweed and lavender poultices combined with slow, intentional massage help ease tension, quiet a busy mind, and encourage deep relaxation. Supporting the body’s natural reduction of cortisol, Drift and Dream creates the perfect foundation for a restorative night’s sleep.
From £130 per person.

There’s a quiet shift on the North Coast when the sunsets return. The light lingers a little longer, the sea softens to gold, and the evenings begin to stretch into something slower. The start of sunset season is here. 🌅

This World Earth Day, our team took some time to care for the place we’re proud to call home 🌍
Along the beautiful White Rocks Beach, we rolled up our sleeves for a litter pick, doing our part to protect and preserve the stunning North Coast for future generations.
Small actions can make a big difference, and we’re committed to playing our part every day 💚

An absolutely glorious morning spent at @dunlucelodge enjoying the Spa & its surroundings! Met with peppermint tea and a cleansing towel, led to the changing and steam room area, followed by a massage and post treatment snacks! Highly recommend visiting, I’ll be back!
Back to back. History made. 💚
From the first swing to the final putt, @rorymcilroy has shown the world what unwavering focus, resilience, and belief truly look like. To win once at Augusta is extraordinary, to do it twice in a row is the mark of something truly special. @themasters
As we celebrate this moment, we can’t help but reminisce about last summer, the buzz, the anticipation, and the privilege of welcoming you to Dunluce Lodge during @theopen Those days, filled with quiet focus and determination, feel even more meaningful now as the world watches you make history once again.
Here at Dunluce Lodge, we’ve watched with immense pride as you continue to inspire not just a nation, but the next generation who dare to dream just a little bigger.

The 20 most exciting Irish hotels to book in 2026 featured in @thetimes
There’s something special about seeing a place you’ve poured so much into being experienced and shared by others. ✨
This week, Dunluce Lodge was featured in The Times, capturing a glimpse of life here on the Causeway Coast, from early morning light over Royal Portrush to evenings spent lingering over dinner at Bailiú.
What we’ve tried to create is simple in spirit: a place where the landscape does a lot of the talking, where the welcome feels genuine, and where every stay has its own pace. Whether it’s a walk along Whiterocks Beach, time to unwind in the spa, or just sitting back and taking it all in.
We’re still at the beginning of our story, so it means a great deal to see Dunluce Lodge recognised in this way and even more to welcome guests who come to experience it for themselves.

In this episode of Travel Tales with Fergal, we journey to the spectacular Causeway Coast in Antrim to explore one of Northern Ireland’s most exciting new luxury destinations: @dunlucelodge
Overlooking the 4th fairway of Royal Portrush Golf Club and the wild North Atlantic Ocean, Dunluce Lodge has swiftly earned its place among the region’s finest hotels. Opening its doors in April 2025, just in time for The Open Championship, the lodge welcomed hometown hero Rory McIlroy and his family during one of golf’s most celebrated weeks.
I sat down with General Manager Stephen Meldrum to explore the story behind this elegant 35-suite retreat with sweeping views of one of the world’s most iconic golf courses.
Stephen shares insights into the whirlwind first year—from achieving five-star status with Tourism Northern Ireland, to being named among the Irish Independent’sTop 50 Places to Stay and joining the prestigious Ireland's Blue Book. Stephen offers genuine insider insights, sharing the kind of local knowledge that only someone deeply connected to the area can provide.
This episode is about the power of Irish hospitality along a coastline that continues to captivate visitors from around the world. This is a story of vision, of place, and of the unmistakable warmth of Irish hospitality, set against a coastline that continues to captivate visitors from across the globe.
Whether you're a golf enthusiast, a lover of this stunning part of Ireland, or simply curious about Northern Ireland’s newest five-star retreat, this is a conversation not to be missed.
I love the Blue Book because they are often family-owned and run Irish Country House Hotels, Manor Houses, castles and restaurants. A Blue Book voucher would always be my top travel gift recommendation and their website is https://www.irelands-blue-book.ie.
