A private tidal island · Mull of Kintyre

Nothing prepares you for how this small island makes you feel.

Wake to the sea

Wander empty shores, watch for otters and seals, and end the day by the fire under properly dark skies. Davaar is a place to disappear to for a while.

How you get here

We meet you on the mainland and drive you across at low tide

Davaar is joined to Kintyre by the Dhorlin, a shingle causeway that only appears when the tide is out. We plan the crossing for you.
