On Islay
Introducing a unique island adventure on Islay, 'the queen' of the Hebridean archipelago off the west coast of Scotland.
The Machrie is your base, a beautiful hotel sitting above the dunes of a seven-miles beach.
Fatbike along the shore, take a wildlife boat trip around the coastline, visit a distillery, play a round of golf and eat seasonal menus featuring the freshest local produce.
Let Another Place be your key to this extraordinary place…

The best of the island
Dine in 18 Restaurant & Bar, take a trip with Islay Sea Adventures wildlife boat trip and a fatbike guided tour.
From oyster shacks at Loch Gruinart to spotting Greenland Barnacle Geese (filmed for David Attenborough’s Wild Isles) and Golden Eagles at the RSPB reserves; visiting the nine whisky distilleries to flying kites on the seven-mile Big Strand beach by the hotel … we think you’ll love Islay as much as we do.
