Places to Stay on Skye

Where you stay on Skye makes all the difference to how the island feels. From crofts and bothies to modern houses built for the view, these are our favourite places to stay on the island.

Curated and written by Hidden Scotland

Updated 22 September 2026. Across the Isle of Skye.

Skye is one of the most loved islands in the world, and for good reason. Mountains that look like they've been drawn by a child, sea cliffs, waterfalls, white beaches, and a light that changes by the minute. It gets busy in summer, which is exactly why where you stay makes such a difference to how the island feels.

We've picked out our favourite places to stay on Skye, from crofts and bothies to modern houses built around the view. Most are well away from the busiest roads, and all of them are somewhere we'd happily book ourselves.
