What could be more romantic than whisking your loved one to Islay for Valentine's day... romantic walks along deserted beaches hand in hand, warming drams beside real fires in cosy pubs, enjoying luxury hospitality in your accommodation, enjoying incredible food and drink including fresh seafood, local beef and venison, and of course sampling the local whiskies.
We guarantee a dram will warm more than just the cockles of your heart... and did we mention, the local oysters???

Loganair offers daily flights from Glasgow direct to Islay... a short journey to find yourself a world Away From The Ordinary

It's going to be a stunner of a day tomorrow, if the forecast holds. And although you might not want to stay in long, this time of year offers incredible opportunities for swimming outdoors.
Of course, if warmer waters are more to your taste Islay does have its own indoor swimming pool at the MacTaggart Leisure Centre

Welcome to 2025!!

Start the New Year right - with a bracing sea swim.

There will be various formal and informal meets and swims today so visitors are sure to find some friendly fellow swimmers to joinin with - but whatever time of year you visit there are sheltered spots perfect for serious wild swimmers or those that just love a quick dook.
The first picture here was taken on January 6 last year - it was perfect conditions, so here's hoping for more of the same in 2025
