Scilly Isles | Activity holidays in the UK with Authentic Adventures

Bleached white beaches and a clarity of light that is hard to imagine, typify these isles. A short flight from Lands End, these five inhabited islands are part of an archipelago of hundreds of smaller islands.

This is a world of vistas, skies and moods that change with every step you take and every breath of wind.

This year we are offering two different grades of hotel and hence two different prices. Both hotels are very comfortable and provide a perfect base for us. If you would like exceptional value, stay on St Mary's. However, if you would like real luxury and a waterfront position choose Tresco.

All holidays include a trip to the subtropical Abbey Gardens.

Where we stay

The Island Hotel is in the most idyllic location, overlooking the sea and with island views in every direction. Full of original artworks and with very comfortable rooms the food is fabulous and mostly locally grown, and one can paint right outside the front door.
