NATURE lovers who want to be right next to the action should head to a tiny island in Scotland.<\/p>\n
The Isle of Luing is dubbed one of the "best-kept secrets in Scotland" with just 200 locals and three minutes from the mainland.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
There's no pub or supermarket, and the ferry stops at 6pm. <\/p>\n
But what is on the island is the WildLuing resort, home to eight self-catering "WildSuites" which overlook Torsa Bay in the Firth of Lorn.<\/p>\n
Guests can book The Observatory, with panoramic views as well as a fully equipped kitchen, pantry and cosy living space.<\/p>\n
It can be used as a yoga retreat, cooking<\/span> school or even wedding reception.<\/p>\n Each one has its super king-size bedroom, its own kitchen and ensuite bathrooms and even an outdoor firepit, and guests get a welcome hamper.<\/p>\n Each one sleeps two people and starts from \u00a3195 a night.<\/p>\n Make sure to head out to your private deck – you'll be able to spot families of otters as well as grey and common seals. <\/p>\n You might even spot some dolphins, and birdwatchers can spot hundreds of different species.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n WildLuing, which claims the island is the "best kept secret," was launched last year by Emily and Jack, along with the help of their family.<\/p>\n Having lived on the island for three generations, their next<\/span> plans include a sauna.<\/p>\n There are lots of other activities on the island outside of the resort too, including High Point which has the "best view" of Scotland. <\/p>\n Many of the beaches are home to smooth pebbles that make it perfect for skimming stones – with the World Stone Skimming championships on a nearby island.<\/p>\n Most people who visit WildLuing have raved about it, saying they are going to return.<\/p>\n One person said: "If you're looking for the most idyllic, authentic and remote Scottish experience, then look no further."<\/p>\n Another said: "One of the most incredible places for a relaxing week away! It was amazing to wake up with a view of the ocean from my bed."<\/p>\n Another island in Scotland has been dubbed the "Hawaii of the North" thanks to its surf.<\/p>\n And here's an island in Cornwall that's like travelling back to the 1970s.<\/p>\nRead more on islands<\/h2>\n
