Famed not only for our award-winning spirit, we’re also the only distillery in Scotland where you can stay overnight in the same building as a working distillery, and have been awarded Travellers’ Choice 2025 by Tripadvisor as well as The Times Best 50 Places to Stay in the UK!
Choose between our distillery rooms that keep you close to the action, or escape to Na Bothain (The Bothies) – a short walk uphill to five luxury cabins overlooking the distillery and the Cuillin mountain range on Skye.
We can accomodate up to 28 overnight guests, and group bookings are available for the ultimate takeover.
The Ultimate Whisky Hotel Experience
Indulge in a magical Hebridean escape where the spirit of the island is at your doorstep—literally. As a premier whisky hotel, we offer the rare opportunity of staying overnight within a working distillery.
Wake up in one of our beautiful ensuite rooms to the #BestDistilleryViews of the Isle of Skye’s Cuillin mountains, then head down to watch island life unfold. There is nothing quite like the experience of sipping your morning coffee as our team begins distilling the day’s new batch of whisky or gin just a few feet away.
An Island Escape like no other!
We’re thrilled to welcome even more guests to our shores with the introduction of Na Bothain ( or ‘The Bothies’ in gaelic) – five new luxury cabins, inspired by the traditional Scottish bothy, and sitting quietly on a hill overlooking Skye’s Cuillin mountain range, and the distillery.
Each Bothan offers sleek, cosy interiors and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide unparalleled views of the island’s wild beauty. Guests can also expect handcrafted Hebridean textiles, island-inspired artwork, and a few hidden details for the curious and dram-thirsty.
Bothan 1 even has a sauna and a plunge pool.

Our most in-depth and immersive whisky
What if instead of just drinking and reading about whisky, you could actually make it yourself? Welcome to The Raasay Way Whisky Experience, our most in-depth and immersive whisky offering yet. We’re opening our doors to the most dedicated whisky fanatics, inviting you to live and breathe the life of a distiller for an unforgettable stay at our distillery.
Over two intensive nights, you won’t just observe—you’ll get your hands dirty, from setting grist ratios and running the mash tun, to charging the stills and determining spirit cuts.
Our Distillery Rooms aren’t just a place to sleep—they are the heart of your Hebridean adventure. After a day of exploring, sink into the “aaah” of The White Company linens and cloud-like feather duvets.
Whether you’re brewing a fresh cup of artisan tea or catching up on your favourite shows, we’ve dialled up the comfort so you can dial down the pace. Wash away the salt air in your luxury en-suite, wrap yourself in a fluffy towel, and settle in. It’s the ultimate whisky hotel hideaway.
Thoughtfully designed for every guest, we offer full wheelchair accessibility, and dog-friendly stay options.
Perched high on the hillside with uninterrupted views across the sea to the Isle of Skye, our five individual Bothain offer a secluded extension of our whisky hotel. Inspired by the traditional Scottish bothy, these “homely shelters” have been reimagined with a sophisticated touch of modern luxury.
Here, the rugged beauty of the Highlands meets high-end comfort. Imagine waking up to a golden sunrise over the Cuillins and having a fresh breakfast delivered straight to your door—allowing you to soak in the silence of the island in total privacy.
Thoughtfully designed for every guest, Na Bothain offer full wheelchair accessibility, and dog-friendly stays are available.
