OUR EXPERIENCES
Alladale Wilderness Reserve offers exclusive-use stays, wellness retreats, adventure experiences, and small weddings in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. Set within 23,000 acres of rewilded landscapes, our wild utopia provides a deeply immersive experience, blending luxury hospitality with nature conservation. Guests can explore the reserve through guided hikes, 4x4 safaris, wild dining experiences, foraging, and conservation-focused activities, all while staying in beautifully restored lodges that reflect our commitment to sustainability, wellness, and eco-tourism.

ABOUT US
At Alladale Wilderness Reserve, we are dedicated to rewilding the Scottish Highlands, restoring ecosystems, and offering transformative nature-based experiences. Since 2003, Alladale has evolved from a traditional estate into a pioneering conservation project where hospitality and environmental restoration go hand in hand. Guests can reconnect with nature in a secluded, boutique-style retreat while contributing to habitat restoration, native tree planting, and wildlife conservation.

Through immersive experiences, we promote eco-localism, sustainable food practices, and responsible tourism, ensuring that every visit supports the regeneration of Scotland’s natural landscapes. Whether seeking a wellness retreat, an adventurous getaway, or a meaningful eco-experience, travelers will find a purpose-driven escape in one of the UK’s last great wilderness areas.

OUR IMPACT
At Alladale, conservation is at the heart of everything we do. As a leading force in rewilding Scotland, we restore native Caledonian pine forests, rewild peatlands, and reintroduce species like the Scottish wildcat. Our on-site aquaponic gardens and sustainable food program provide fresh, organic produce while reducing food miles and waste. We also generate much of our renewable energy through a hydro-turbine, significantly lowering our carbon footprint.

Beyond environmental impact, we are committed to social responsibility and accessibility. Partnering with The European Nature Trust (TENT) and the Alladale Foundation, we offer free educational programs for schoolchildren, inspiring future environmental stewards. Through low-impact travel experiences and sustainability-focused retreats, we create inclusive opportunities for guests to connect with nature while leaving a positive legacy on the land.
