Detailed Review
Magnificent sweeping sea views set the scene at Les Cascades de Bantry Bay, an elegant lodge perched on the hillside below Lion’s Head in the most exclusive bay on the Atlantic Seaboard. The rooms incorporate strong elements of contemporary art, latticed shutters covering large bay windows and private balconies overlooking the ocean. Three infinity pools and superb sun decks are all designed for maximum comfort and intimacy. The abundant use of dark stained wood, Indian slate terraces and the black lined pools set the tone and ambience. The Main Lodge is the heart of the hotel. It is here that the very essence is revealed of what Les Cascades de Bantry Bay is all about. All six luxurious and very spacious en suite rooms in the main lodge exhume prestige and sophistication. Architecture and decor have distinct Balinese-style influences enhanced with warm earthy hues, soft furnishings in brown and beige. Comfortable colonial furniture and objets d’art form the background for a relaxed stay. The Villa, adjacent to the Main Lodge, with its own private pool, consists of three modern and very comfortable rooms and one larger junior suite. Taking full advantage of the extraordinary wind-free position in Bantry Bay, dining at Les Cascades de Bantry Bay is an outdoors event throughout summer. A romantic al fresco dinner on the deck in the Main Lodge, while the sun sets over the ocean below, is for many one of the highlights of their holiday. Coziness and intimacy close to the open fire place prevail during the less warm winter evenings in the fine dining restaurant at the Villa.
