Islay recommendations

Where to stay on Islay?

For your stay on Islay, AEROAFFAIRES recommends staying at The Machrie Hotel & Golf Links. Typically Scottish and set away from the centre of the island, the hotel is a 20 minute walk from the beach. You can also enjoy its restaurant, with a variety of Scottish and British dishes, as well as tea served in the hotel lounge.

What to do on Islay?

One of the must-sees when visiting Islay is the town of Port Ellen. This pretty little town has colourful houses, more sober than those on the Isle of Skye.
