Five Star Private Island Spa Getaway In Scotland

The Isle of Eriska

To mark the launch of its new stylish and luxurious self-catering lodges, the stunning five star Isle of Eriska Hotel, Spa and Island, located a two hour drive from Glasgow has launched its Hilltop Spa Getaway. The three night stay will cost £499 per person and include accommodation in the new lodges, the Hilltop Reserves; two indulgent hour-long ESPA treatments in the spa; and a dinner in the hotel's Michelin starred restaurant

The Hilltop Spa getaway gives guests a chance to completely enter a 'world of their own', with long strolls along the beautiful untouched beaches and plenty of time to soak up the tranquility and enjoy the unique experience of staying on a private island. Eriska is inhabited by countless species of wildlife such as otters, seals and red deer and all around the island there are nature trails with information points just waiting to be discovered.

The new spa at the Isle of Eriska is opening at the start of April and offers a brand new state of the art thermal suite with sauna, steam room and Rasul room. In addition to this, there are also new luxurious treatment rooms opening, with statement baths, showers and stunning sea views over Loch Linnhe; as well as a new Life Fitness Gymnasium

The Hilltop Reserves which launched at the start of the month are stylish and luxurious self-catering lodges that are nestled on the hillside, completely secluded from the main hotel and the rest of the 300 acre island.

Each complete with their own private hot tubs; the two lodges boast stunning views across the sea, with the Isle of Lismore in the distance. Guests can sit back in the evening sun on the large external decking or in the hot tub with a glass of champagne in hand and witness some of the most breathtaking sunsets to be found anywhere in the world.

The Hilltop Reserves come complete with high speed Wi-Fi; an entertainment system; tile and wooden flooring; their own heating and water system; a luxury en-suite bedroom; and a modern, state of the art kitchen. Not only are the suites customised to blend in with the beautiful surroundings, but they are also as fundamentally 'green' and as sustainable as possible.

Although the spa break will be an opportunity to completely switch off and escape, guests are invited to the main hotel for a delicious supper cooked up by Michelin starred chef Ross Stovold. On the menu there will be a variety of creative and mouth-watering starters and main courses; with one fish from the surrounding waters; a meat dish from the hills surrounding the island; and a final vegetarian alternative inspired by one of the gardens or larders close to hand.

Guests will also be able to make the most of the five star private island's heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, driving range, indoor tennis courts and 9-hole golf course.

Easily accessible from Oban, Connel Airport, Glasgow and Edinburgh, guests can arrive by car, boat, or even aboard a private sea plane from Glasgow Airport!

The wildlife, second-to-none views and serene location all help to give Eriska a magical feel that truly is unrivalled and makes it the perfect destination to discover for a spa getaway.
