Carna: A Scottish Island Like No Other
There are many Scottish islands, but none quite like Carna. This historic, 600-acre gem lies nestled in the rich coastal waters of Loch Sunart, on the stunning west coast of Scotland.
What we offer is simple, yet extraordinary. You're not just booking a property. You’re renting an entire island. Carna is home to no one but its wildlife, offering unparalleled peace, space, and privacy.
Choose from two comfortable, characterful properties, both fully supported 24/7 by our experienced team on the mainland, just minutes away.
Despite its remote feel, Carna is well connected. You'll have access to a strong EE mobile signal and fast, reliable Wi-Fi via our fibre-linked network. You can stay in touch or switch off, as you prefer.
Your rental also includes a motorboat, giving you the freedom to explore Loch Sunart, visit seal colonies, or nip back to the mainland whenever you like.
Carna is ideal for individuals, couples, families, or small groups looking for a truly authentic remote island experience without compromising on safety, comfort, or support.
Our island management partners, Ardnamurchan Charters and Seatrek Scotland, can help you enjoy a range of activities including diving, swimming, and snorkelling.
The island is also home to the Carna Conservation Initiative, which works to preserve and enhance its rich biodiversity. The project supports many of Scotland’s iconic species of flora and fauna.
Carna offers an unforgettable taste of Scotland in miniature. It is wild, beautiful, and waiting to be discovered.
