Perfect for couples, families, groups and solo travellers alike, The Ardilaun Experiences offer memorable moments beyond the traditional hotel stay. Join our expert bartenders for a Cocktail Masterclass and create two signature cocktails, learn the secrets behind our famous Irish Coffee, uncover the remarkable story of The Ardilaun Hotel with a guided heritage tour celebrating over 60 years of family ownership, or stroll through five acres of award-winning gardens with the people who care for them every day.

For younger guests, weekends bring even more fun with complimentary garden games set among our beautiful grounds, creating space for families to relax, play and make lasting memories together.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic escape, discovering Galway for the first time, or simply looking to make your stay even more memorable, The Ardilaun Experiences add something truly special to every visit.
