The wild garden

Hot tub and sauna experience

An authentic Scandinavian outdoor experience in the heart of the Hebridean landscape. The wild garden features two wood fire hot tubs, a cold tub and an outdoor sauna in partnership with Kirami UK.

Soak up the outside

Step out into the elements as we grow our outside offering. The sauna and hot tubs are designed for soothing aching bodies after a day exploring Islay or a round or two of golf, with open air views across the championship golf links and the sunsets across Laggan Bay. Arguably the easiest way to experience the wild (whilst keeping warm). 

The sauna and hot tubs are open from 7am to 9pm. 

Firepit outside at The Machrie

Hot and cold

Feel the dry heat of the sauna and the warmth of the water in the hot tub. Then take the plunge into our cold tub, whether for a refreshing dip on a summer’s day, or an invigorating dip alongside your session in the sauna throughout the year. Afterwards, our communal fire pit is made for gathering around, toasting Tunnock’s teacakes and for warming up with a whisky or two. Kindling kits can be provided.
