“The churn of the open turquoise Atlantic waters backdrops vast expanses of pink beach”

Set on the southern tip of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, this special and award-winning hotel embraces its truly magical position on Barra’s Atlantic west coast. Overlooking Tangasdale Beach and with panoramic views of the surrounding rugged hillsides, the architectural design is characterised by striking sculptural forms simulating the hulls of upturned ships. Tempered by a love of place, traditions and materials, the flowing and lofty communal spaces and 39 guest rooms are set in artful contrast with invitingly cosy interiors. Enveloped in around 7.75 acres of grassy slopes and replete with two self-contained managers’ apartments and a self-catering apartment, the hotel’s orientation has been cleverly devised to capture its compelling beachside location, seven miles from the cockleshell beach airport, An Traigh Mhor.
