UNIQUE LUXURY BREAKS

1 SEA SAFARI FROM A SCOTTISH CASTLE

Combining the luxury of living in a castle with coastal exploration and wildlife spotting, this carefully curated break in the Hebrides has both style and substance. Two nights are spent relaxing at Glenapp Castle, a Relais & Chateaux hotel with a 110-acre estate in Ayrshire. The next two will see guests striking out on a coastal adventure to the remote island of Jura and a glamping site, where tents are equipped with hot showers, duvets and tartan rugs. A colony of seals can be seen on Jura year-round and guests will take a rib boat to other islands too, stopping off at Ailsa Craig, a sanctuary teeming with birdlife.

Longer, bespoke trips to more remote islands can be arranged too, with a private chef on board.
