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.

Just off the Atlantic west coast of Scotland, Islay’s natural landscape, sandy beaches and rugged coastline have been shaped by the Scottish elements. 23 beaches. Abundant wildlife. Ten whisky distilleries. Weaving bike tracks on untrodden sands, cutting across the deep on a wildlife boat trip, toasting the sunset with an island-made whisky on the dune deck.
