Ireland In May! A Season Meant For Retreat

Rainy Day, West Cork

Ireland is beautiful year-round, but there’s a sweet spot and for us, it’s May. Spring has fully awakened the land: hedgerows are bursting into bloom, the countryside feels fresh and alive, and the days are longer without the bustle of peak summer crowds. The weather is milder than winter, yet comfortably cool, making it perfect for walking, exploring, and simply being outdoors.

Summer months bring over 10 million visitors to Ireland, and with that comes crowded roads, busy attractions, and higher prices. By choosing May, we step into a calmer, more spacious version of Ireland, where accommodations are easier to secure, travel feels more relaxed, and the experience is more authentic. Yes, Ireland has its rain, but a good jacket and waterproof boots only add to the charm. It’s this balance of beauty, ease, and breathing room that makes May the perfect time for our retreats. This is why we invite you to experience Ireland with us then, when it’s at its most welcoming and alive. Sign up for our newsletter below to be the first to know or our 2027 Retreat.
