Our hotel on Islay

Another Place, The Machrie

Facing the Atlantic, with unbroken views of dunes, sea and sky, lies The Machrie on the Isle of Islay. A contemporary hotel with 43 beautifully designed rooms, suites and family lodges, a world-class golf links, restaurant, outside sauna and hot tub garden, screening room and modern art collection.

Freshly landed seafood served on the terrace. Far-stretching empty sands. Cool clear waters inviting you in. On Islay, “Queen of the Hebrides” – and one of the easiest to reach islands off the west coast of Scotland – adventure, awe and a landscape teeming with wildlife await among the rugged Rhinns and sheltered bays.
