Discover the Tranquil Beauty of Europe's Best Remote Escape

Ah, marvel at the grandeur of Hoy, situated within the captivating Orkney archipelago. This Scottish gem, acknowledged as the second-largest among the Orkney Islands, has earned acclaim as one of Europe's premier remote escapes by the esteemed Lonely Planet. Such accolades echo the sentiments of Time Out, which hailed Hoy as one of the finest British staycation destinations.

Despite its standing as the second-largest in this island chain, Hoy remains a sanctuary with a modest population barely reaching 400. Here, the tranquility of the island is preserved, and its landscapes stand untouched, offering a spectacle of breathtaking beauty.

The archipelago has a diverse range of topography, including sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, rolling grasslands and heather-clad moorland. The coastline features many impressive sea stacks, sheltered coves and jagged sea caves of varying shapes and sizes.
