YOU can now go off grid this Christmastime in the Isle of Skye on your very own private island – for just £20.
Eilean Sionnach Lighthouse Cottage is only accessible by a 10-minute boat trip, offering the ultimate digital detox for a silent stay.
The exclusive listing is available between December 19 and 22 this year, priced at just £20.25.
The property, located in Isleornsay in the Scottish Highlands, can be booked through the Booking.com website – but only one person will be able to secure the four-person stay.
On December 5, at a random time, the listing will go live, with the first person to try and book at that point winning the trip.
The spacious home on the Isle of Skye features four elegant bedrooms and panoramic views over Loch Hourn, 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 per cent secretly wish they could disappear from the chaos and go ‘off grid’ this festive season.
With 33 per cent saying they would go on a holiday specifically to feel closer to the natural world.
More than a fifth (21 per cent) want to escape the pressure of a ‘perfect’ Christmas, which could lead to 19 per cent 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 per cent), or the chance to disconnect from technology and social media (24 per cent).
But 30 per cent aren’t able to have a more low-key break because they don’t want to disappoint friends or relatives.
And 22 per cent feel pressured to keep up with the usual traditions and expectations, according to the OnePoll.com figures.
Despite this, 55 per cent claimed their ‘ideal’ Christmas this year would be ‘quieter and relaxing’ than normal, compared to just five per cent who’d rather it was livelier and louder.
