Some destinations are so memorable, so unique and so beyond the ordinary, words don’t do justice to the experience.

Welcome to someplace truly unique. Historic. Original. Rare.
Welcome to Capella Dunboy Castle.

Built to defend the harbor of Berehaven, the castle was the site of a significant battle that occurred between the forces of Elizabeth I and the last of the Gaelic clans. While very little remains of the old fortifications, the majesty and power of one of Ireland’s most treasured iconic ruins has given rise to a new Dunboy Castle, anchored on the Beara Peninsula with stature and stately serenity. Everywhere you look the intimacy of handmade work reveals itself...the personal sentiment of hundreds of people transcending the past to impact the present.

Far removed from the roads more traveled, Capella Dunboy Castle invites visitors to explore the authentic maritime heritage of Ireland. The large natural port allows luxurious yachts to mingle with fishing boats at the village docks, where the sea’s salty spray perfumes the day, and has for hundreds of years.

Follow the shore right to the grounds of Capella Dunboy Castle, where guests can see the beauty of the Atlantic while they explore the handmade world of Capella Dunboy Castle. Paths lead to courtyards or ruins, which weave into forested hills or rocky embankments holding back the sea. A tapestry of possibilities. Discover them all at Capella Dunboy Castle.
