Hotels in Portmarnock

Just a short train ride north of Dublin, Portmarnock offers a welcome escape from the city's pace. The main attraction is its spectacular, three-mile stretch of golden beach, a Blue Flag winner that feels wonderfully expansive even on busy days. Golfers know it for the historic Portmarnock Golf Club, while everyone else enjoys the coastal walks with views across to Howth Head. It’s a place for fresh air, where the sound of the sea is your constant companion.

This is an ideal base for travelers who want easy Dublin access without staying in the urban center, suiting couples and families perfectly. The village center has a relaxed, local feel with a few pubs and shops, and the DART station provides a direct link to the heart of Dublin in about 25 minutes. Staying here means you can enjoy a quiet dinner after a day exploring the city or the coast.

Accommodation is dominated by comfortable, modern hotels that cater to both leisure and business guests, with a few guesthouses adding character. On HOTEVI, you’ll find options like the Grand Hotel, with its spa and seaside location, and the more contemporary Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links, which makes the most of its championship course views.
