STAY ON DAVAAR ISLAND
Secluded cabins and cottages on a
private tidal island off Scotland's west coast
"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 — wild, peaceful and wonderfully removed from everyday life.
Our four cottages and wood cabins are tucked around the lighthouse on the northern tip of Davaar Island, a small privately owned tidal island off the Mull of Kintyre. Surrounded by sea and sky, they offer space, privacy and a rare sense of calm. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and simplicity, Davaar is a place to slow down and reconnect with nature.
More than just somewhere to stay, the island offers carefully curated experiences inspired by its surroundings – from secret picnics and sunset suppers to foraging, wildlife encounters and restorative retreats. Every stay can be as adventurous or as peaceful as you wish.
Getting here is part of the experience. Guests leave their cars on the mainland and are met for the short crossing to the island. We coordinate arrivals around the tides and transport luggage by 4×4, making the journey feel like a gentle transition from everyday life to island life.
Our two self-catering holiday cottages and two luxury wood cabins provide the perfect location for couples, friends, solo visitors and honeymooners seeking a holiday away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
Guests can enjoy the simple pleasures of fresh sea air, beautiful walks and outstanding scenery. Take in uninterrupted views, sunrises and sunsets from the cottages and also from the various walking trails and lookout points dotted around the Island. Davaar Island is also home to a wealth of wildlife. Otter, dolphins, golden eagles, Peregrine falcons, Minke whale and a wealth of seabirds are all regularly seen off our shores.
Once you have arrived at the nearby parking area on the mainland, we will meet you and whisk you (and your luggage) to the Island by 4×4 so you can escape, relax and enjoy a local complimentary drink on arrival.
