Kiawah Development Partners Joins Forces With Timbers Resorts

Kiawah Partners | The Lodge at Doonbeg



Kiawah Development Partners (KDP) and Timbers Resorts, the leading developer of intimate luxury resort properties, have partnered to launch The Links Cottages at Doonbeg - the new private residence club at Doonbeg in County Clare, Ireland. The Links Cottages allow residential interest ownership in one of Europe’s most desired golf and lodging destinations, with a setting featuring five-star services and amenities.


Doonbeg is set along one and a half miles of crescent-shaped beach, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and offers cottages of almost 3,000 square feet, with four bedrooms, an expansive living space, and décor representing a simple yet elegant country style.  Each cottage boasts a custom-designed kitchen, large living and dining areas, bedrooms with a private bath encompassing a large marble slab shower, stone vanity, and heated towel rack. Throughout the home, Owners will enjoy waxed limestone slab and wide-plank old oak floors, timber casement windows, gas-burning fireplaces, reclaimed wooden beams and views of both the golf course and countryside.



Owners of The Links Cottages will receive Membership in the private golf club with purchase, assuring them full access to the course and members club areas.  Membership at Doonbeg is unparalleled, offering play on perhaps the last true links course built in Ireland and Great Britain.  Designed by two-time British Open champion Greg Norman, the course was named Golf Digest's "Best New International Course" in 2002.  

In addition to world-class golf, Owners can indulge themselves at the acclaimed White Horse Spa, designed by the award-winning firm Clodagh and choose from dining venues influenced by renowned chef Tom Colicchio, the culinary force behind New York City's Gramercy Tavern and Craft.

“The partnership between KDP and Timbers Resorts allows two of the most successful luxury lifestyle brands to extend their offerings to a new and larger audience both here and in Europe,” says Charles P. "Buddy" Darby, III, CEO of Kiawah Development Partners.  “With The Links Cottages now a Timbers Resorts Residence Club, Owners may enjoy residential interest ownership on Ireland's stunning southwest coast plus access to the idyllic locations that the Timbers Collection offers.”
