Searching for the perfect honeymoon hideaway that's out-of-the-ordinary, unique and extraordinary? We've found the perfect secret spot: Clare Island, a darling dot of an island, located just off the coast of County Mayo in Western Ireland.

Clare Island is the type of place you feel as though time forgot. Small cozy cottages dot the dramatic coast line and the smell of fresh peat fire hangs in the air.
