You can now go off grid this Christmas time in the Isle of Skye on your very own private island – for just £20. Eilean Sionnach Lighthouse Cottage – perched in Isleornsay in the  Scottish Highlands – is only accessible by a 10-minute boat trip, offering the ultimate digital detox for a silent stay.

The spacious home features four elegant bedrooms, panoramic views over Loch Hourn and Knoydart, and the surrounding coastline. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, while the open-plan living area and wood-burning stove create a warm and inviting festive hideaway.

Inspired by Booking.com’s 2026 Travel Prediction, ‘Hushed Hobbies’, this bespoke listing invites guests to enjoy a curated itinerary including birdwatching, seaweed foraging, or simply embracing the art of stillness in the serenity of silence.

Ryan Pearson, regional manager for UK & Ireland at the online travel agency said: “More and more travellers are seeking quiet, meaningful escapes where they can truly switch off and reconnect.

“It’s a time of year when we often feel overwhelmed, but there’s a real joy to be found in simplicity, stripping the season right back to basics and going remote.”

It comes after a poll of 2,000 adults who celebrate Christmas revealed 24% secretly wish they could disappear from the chaos and go ‘off grid’ this festive season. With 33% saying they would go on a holiday specifically to feel closer to the natural world.

More than a fifth (21%) want to escape the pressure of a ‘perfect’ Christmas, which could lead to 19% actively planning a quieter one this year.

With key benefits to doing this being having a proper amount of time to recharge and reset (51%), or the chance to disconnect from technology and social media (24%).

But 30% aren’t able to have a more low-key break because they don’t want to disappoint friends or relatives. And 22% feel pressured to keep up with the usual traditions and expectations, according to the OnePoll.com figures.

Despite this, 55% claimed their ‘ideal’ Christmas this year would be ‘quieter and relaxing’ than normal – compared to just five% who’d rather it was livelier and louder.

The exclusive listing is available between 19th and 22nd December 2025 – priced at just £20.25 – and can be booked through the Booking.com website – but only one person will be able to secure the four-person stay.

On Friday December 5th, at a random time, the listing will go live – with the first person to try and book at that point winning the trip.
