Immersive conservation lodges in Scotland

Alladale Wilderness Reserve

“Paul Lister woke us up to the urgency of conservation over a decade ago. A driven philanthropist, he is creating a blueprint for how hospitality can support conservation. We are so proud that our work for Alladale has accelerated exposing the challenges and spotlighting the solutions.”

A natural gem with principles running through its veins, this 23,000-acre utopia occupies one of the last truly wild spaces in the Scottish Highlands, just an hour and a half north of Inverness.

Alladale Lodge, the star of the show – with a gym, sauna and snooker room – sleeps up to 14, whilst two other fully catered cottages sleep from 2 to 8. Hike through dramatic glens, forage for dinner, spot native wildlife such as golden eagles and red deer around the reserve and learn about Alladale’s rewilding efforts.

Conservation work includes native tree planting, peatland restoration and wildlife projects. For over 15 years, the Alladale Wilderness Experience has offered a specially designed, outdoor learning experience for local school children each year.
