New luxury accommodation will be golfers’ dream

Fans of golf and lovers of luxury will find the perfect combination in Dunluce Lodge, Northern Ireland, which is set to open this autumn.

Dunluce Lodge, County Antrim, has announced it will open this autumn offering stunning accommodation on the beautiful Causeway Coast that will be especially suited to golfers. The five-star hospitality venue sits on the edge of Royal Portrush, one of the world’s best golf courses and the location of the 153rd Open Championship which will be played there in 2025 (13–20 July).

Dunluce Lodge will offer 35 luxury suites as well as a beautiful private lodge with eight private suites, private dining, and a fireside lounge space for exclusive use. The Lodge’s restaurant and bar will overlook the golf course and ocean so guests can sip on carefully selected craft beers, wines and whiskeys while taking in the breathtaking views.

With an onsite putting green, designed by renowned golf architect, Martin Ebert, and complimentary private transfers to the nearby helipad and to the clubhouses at Royal Portrush and Portstewart Golf Club, Dunluce Lodge promises to be a golfer’s paradise.

The property will include a small spa, including a fitness facility that will provide the perfect place to rejuvenate with a massage, steam treatment, or stretching session.

Dunluce Lodge will be operated by Valor Hospitality Partners, a global, full-service hotel management company in partnership with the US-based owners, Links Collection. 

Stephen Meldrum, General Manager, Dunluce Lodge, said: “When Dunluce Lodge opens later this year it will set a new standard as the definitive five-star location on the Causeway Coast. Overlooking the fourth fairway at Royal Portrush Golf Club and facing the wild Atlantic Ocean, our location speaks for itself.

“From employing staff from the local community, sourcing local materials and serving the finest seasonal produce from Northern Ireland’s abundant land and sea larder, Dunluce Lodge will set a new standard on the Causeway Coast and offer truly impeccable, genuine Irish hospitality.” 

Dunluce Lodge will also be the perfect base from which to enjoy many other prestigious golf courses nearby such as Castlerock, Ballycastle, Portstewart, and Royal County Down.

Beyond golfing activities, guests will have the opportunity to experience guided and curated experiences such as country sports and visits to top visitor attractions. The amazing Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just up the road from Dunluce Lodge as is Bushmills Distillery, where the famous whiskey has been made for over 400 years.

The Causeway Coast is also Game of Thrones territory and there are many options for exploring the locations where the blockbuster TV series was filmed.
