Achill Island
For as long as she can remember, Anna has always associated crossing the bridge in Achill Sound with arriving home.
Her family are from Achill and she has spent years holidaying there and enjoying island life. To her it is the most magical of places.
Her dream of living on the island came true when she started the House of Achill.
With Acla Candles she hopes to bring the magic and light of Achill, and of Ireland, to your home.
Our Vision
After spending some time in her home on Achill Island, Anna had a vision: to bring the light of Achill Island and Ireland to individual homes.
She envisioned a range of products that would evoke sensory memories through nostalgic scents, transporting people to a different place, memory, or time and allowing you to bring the scent of Ireland, home.
From this she has created the Acla Candle range. Each candle is hand selected and designed by Anna on Achill and is produced in Ireland.
Locally Produced
Our candles are all handmade in Ireland, ensuring that the finest craftsmanship, quality, and materials are being used in the making of each candle.
By producing locally, Anna aims to promote and support other local Irish businesses.
Her mission is to bring the light of Ireland to your home.
Oileán Acla
Achill Island is a Gaeltacht region and as a fluent Irish speaker, it was important to Anna to honour this in her products.
She has achieved this by naming her candles Acla Candles, which is derived from the Gaelic name for Achill Island – Oileán Acla
