A beautiful hotel sitting above the dunes of a seven-miles beach on ‘the Queen’ of the Hebridean archipelago off the west coast of Scotland, The Machrie has 43 contemporary rooms, suites and lodges which offer an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area.

Guests are invited to play on one of the World’s Top 100 Championship Golf Courses, designed by former European Ryder Cup vice-captain DJ Russell, fatbike along the shore, take a wildlife boat trip around the coastline and visit one of the world famous distilleries on Islay.

Three cosy lounges, a sunset terrace and our outdoor wild garden experience with hot tubs, sauna and cold plunge all provide the perfect retreat. Start the evening with a fine Islay malt whisky on 18 Restaurant & Bar’s terrace – with panoramic views across the 18th green to the Atlantic Ocean – before tucking into seasonal dishes that celebrate Scotland’s natural larder including Loch Gruinart Oysters. Just a 25-minute flight from Glasgow, or two hours by ferry from Kennacraig, Islay is accessible yet feels perfectly remote. A true Scottish island adventure, The Machrie offers outstanding sea views and so much to explore.

Competition closes on 19 September.
