Perched along the dramatic Atlantic coastline in Lahinch, Vauntinis was conceived as a richly layered hospitality space that celebrates its unique seaside setting. The design draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape and maritime heritage, blending deep jewel tones, tactile fabrics, dark timber detailing and curated coastal artwork to create an atmosphere that feels both elegant and inviting.

Intimate booth seating, bespoke furnishings and carefully considered lighting establish a sense of warmth and comfort, while expansive windows frame uninterrupted ocean views, allowing the landscape to become part of the interior experience. Every detail, from the patterned wallpapers and fringe detailing to the marble surfaces and brass accents, was selected to create a memorable destination that balances sophistication with a relaxed coastal character.

The result is a distinctive dining and cocktail environment that captures the spirit of Lahinch while offering guests an immersive and timeless experience.
