Urban Glamping Village in Portumna, Galway

Whether you’re an experienced 'Glamper' or 'Podder' or you’re brand new to it, you should also know about one of Ireland’s best kept secrets: the town of Portumna in South East Galway, with its Castle, Abbey, historic Workhouse and Forest park, the River Shannon and Lough Derg, and a great range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Put them together and you arrive at Podumna, a unique Pod village, which is one of the most innovative and creative 'Glamping' sites in the country. Pod Umna Village is a Failte Ireland 'Welcome Standard' member.

To Pod or not to Pod, that is the question!

Visitors are accommodated in Pods or Cabins rather than tents, eliminating the need for canvas, poles, and tent pegs. There are no concerns about dampness or draughts, ensuring a comfortable camping experience without the usual hardships. Additionally, for individuals who are not yet prepared to venture into the realm of Glamping, the main building offers a selection of single, double, and family rooms.
