  • Can't recommend this place highly enough. Have been twice now, once with my two young boys and once with a group of friends. A visit to Tir Na Nog is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime - a real piece of heaven on earth. You wake up every morning to that picture perfect vista, with a vast expanse of tropical water as your swimming pool and an endless sandy beach as your personal playground. What could be more perfect. Definitely hope to get back again next year.

  • We were fortunate as to have stayed at Tir Na Nog this past April and experienced the most perfect vacation that a family could have asked for. Pure natural beauty mixed with impeccable taste made for an incredible experience. We hope to be able to return again as our young children remember Tir Na Nog as the place where we had "the best vacation ever!" and their parents wholeheartedly agree!

  • The property is the perfect place to unwind, relax and get away from it all. The interiors are the perfect combination of the functional and elegant colonial chic. It is the ideal place to re-charge your batteries. Waking up in the bungalows and seeing the coastline marked by palm trees swaying in the cooling summer breeze - with the soothing sounds of the waves breaking on the shoreline -is the perfect start to the day. leave your watch on the bed stand and stroll up to the main house and treat to yourself to a first class home made breakfast on the terrace overlooking the coconut groves. A short 30 minute round trip (on foot!) is the deli - the ideal place to pick up your baguettes - what better to have for breakfast and to accompany your beach picnic? The store is a Godsend - as it has everything in its four walls - from souvenirs to grocery provisions, and if you are are missing your 'coffee to go' you can pick up one of these too! The day has to be spent on the beach. Pack yourself all those novels you have vowed to read - and use the day to catch up on on your reading . The uninterrupted day should be punctuated with dips in the clear warm ocean and the occasional raids on the fridge for a light lunch. with your tan suitably topped up and as the sun light begins to fade - head back and have a refreshing shower in the unique shower cubicle - standing on the pebbled floor. As the evening chorus of crickets commences, whip up a light dinner - in the galley - large enough for a 'all hands on deck' dinner - where your entire party can contribute to the meal. Then in the light of the league of hurricane lamps, and the sound of your favorite music in the background enjoy your meal; crack open the wine and savor the moment - paradise found!

  • I have been to tir na n’og for the last three years and I hope to go every year. It is impossible to capture the beauty and serenity in pictures or words. To me, I look forward to completely unwinding and letting everything go. I bring two suitcases, the second filled with all my reading material. It is truly a special place in which you are swimming in the most beautiful turquoise crystal clear water staring at what looks like unlimited private beach. Not a hotel or high rise or anything unnatural in sight. I come with a few friends and this past time my friend and her husband and baby. The set up is perfect to enjoy coffee in the morning cocktails and grilling outdoors at night. You can comfortably pass in the wind, be at the beach leisurely, slip into a nap on the hammock, or hit the tennis courts for an anytime game. …..It is also the perfect venue for a big group having a blast. Hire the cook, going out to dinner, cocktail on the beach, etc.

  • Tir na nog is a 180 degree departure from the frenetic pace of urban life. The idyllic backdrop of Eleuthera is unspoiled by over-development and the accommodations on the Tir Na N'og estate beautifully compliment, rather than compete with the serene and untarnished setting of the island. It's the perfect getaway; it's an attainable distance from the continent (i.e. less than 5 hours from NYC), where you can replenish your soul.

  • Tir Na Nog in Governor's Harbour, Bahamas was hands down the BEST vacation EVER!! The property and the four villas on it are absolutely amazing!!! The pictures just don't do it justice! The two restaurants, which we walked to on the beach, had amazing food and even better drinks! The beach is very private, with tons of reefs for a great snorkling experience. The natives were extremely friendly and very helpful with any questions I had. I really hope to return and do it all over again soon!!! Thanks for such a unforgettable vacation!!!

  • Tir Na Nog is my idea of heaven. It is so private and beautiful. Snorkeling is wonderful right off the beach, the houses are comfortable and classy. I can't think of any better place to go for a vacation!

  • A vacation at Tir Na Nog is the ultimate Bahamas experience. Very private beaches, exhilarating snorkeling, kayaking and world class fishing. Enjoy excellent cuisine on your own ocean-view veranda, or at the numerous fine local restaurants. Explore the island by car, bike,or on foot for delightful surprises at every turn. We are looking forward to our return.
