Details

Step away from the rush. Let the wild lead you back. This retreat is an invitation to rest in rhythm with the land. To move, breathe, and sleep deeply. To return to what feels real. At the edge of the world, on the quiet shores of Scottish Lochs, Kinloch Lodge opens its doors for something rare: stillness, space, and a slower pace in the North of Scotland. Over four unhurried days, you’ll reconnect with your body, the landscape, and a quieter version of yourself.

Location

Sleat, United Kingdom

The Sleat Peninsula on the Isle of Skye is often called the “Garden of Skye” because of its lush landscapes, gentle hills, and sandy shores. It stretches along the Sound of Sleat, offering beautiful sea views and small crofting villages surrounded by nature. The area is rich in Gaelic culture and history, combining natural beauty with deep cultural heritage.
