Woodlands Hotel, Co. Limerick
On a green journey to becoming Ireland’s eco-friendly hotel destination of choice, the four-star Woodlands Hotel in Adare has reduced its CO2 Emissions by 65% and its electricity consumption by 50% over the past decade. Keeping it home grown, the four-star establishment uses much of their own produce from Mary’s Organic Garden, in which the chefs work closely with the resident gardener to create the ultimate farm-to-fork menu experience for guests.
Food-waste from the hotel is composted and used for the garden and organic farm, both of which are home to trees planted as part of the resort’s carbon offset programme.
And if the grown-ups fancy a bit of R&R, Revas Spa is ready & waiting and uses the award-winning Irish organic brand, Voya.

The Falls Hotel, Co. Clare
A hotel that means business when it comes to protecting the environment is The Falls Hotel & Spa, located in the scenic Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark in Co. Clare. Impressively, when the four-star hotel reopened recently, guests leave no carbon footprint once they step foot on the hotel grounds - thanks to a series of waste reduction and innovative energy initiatives adopted within the property.
The 140-bedroom hotel was awarded the carbon neutral status by Green Hospitality Ireland for eliminating its carbon output over a five-year period. One of the most significant measures taken by the hotel was the installation of a €1.3m hydroelectric turbine on the nearby River Inagh, which generates enough electricity to power the hotel.
If it’s a leisurely stroll you’re seeking on a sandy beach in Lahinch, or perhaps a deep relaxing spa experience then make sure to check out The Falls hotel.
