About Carna 

A private island on the west coast of Scotland, where nature sets the pace.

Carna is special.  In summer there’s 20 hours of daylight, warm waters and amazing wildlife.  Winter, brings storms, dramatic vistas and awe-inspiring star-studded skies, plus cosy nights in front of blazing log fires.  

Carna is a peaceful 600-acre sanctuary, nestled in Loch Sunart between the Ardnamurchan and Morvern peninsulas.  With a mosaic of wildlife-rich habitats and its own rainforest, Carna is home to ancient wildflower meadows and rare breeds.  The island is also part of a long-term conservation project, where we protect and regenerate the native and marine species and environments surrounding the island.

Quite literally, Carna is a breath of fresh air. No supermarkets, high streets, roads, noise or stress. There’s just time, space, freedom, warmth and comfort.  A place where you can enjoy the simple pleasures of land, sea and air.  Where you can navigate the channels around the island, go fishing, swim in crystal-clear waters, or simply relax and take in the beautiful scenery. 

Carna is unique.  It’s been voted one of the Times’ Top 20 small island getaways.  Read their review here. 

We have two unique self-catering cottages for families, friends, couples and individuals.  You’ll depart from Laga Bay, with our inclusive transfer across Loch Sunart to the Isle of Carna.  We’ll take you and your luggage to the island, settle you in, explain how to drive the boat and show you the best places to spot wildlife or enjoy the stunning views. Then we’ll leave you to relax, unwind and explore at your own pace, with assistance always being on-hand via a 24-hour radio link.
