Explore the allure of a remote haven on Lihou island
Many people dream of having their own island. Even if you're not a millionaire, you can experience this dream for at least a few days. Off the coast of Europe lies an island with just one house, which you can rent along with all the surrounding land. Although there's no internet or stores, the island offers wonderful nature and history.
The dream of staying on a private island can become a reality thanks to Lihou Island, located off the west coast of Guernsey, in the western part of the English Channel where it meets the Celtic Sea.
For only 40 pounds per night, you can rent the sole house on this deserted island, managed by the Lihou Charitable Trust.
A unique experience on Lihou Island
Once upon a time, seaweed harvesting flourished on Lihou Island, but today it remains uninhabited. Access is only possible via a stony road during low tide, making it an ideal destination for adventure lovers. The absence of internet and stores is more than compensated by the rich nature and stunning views.
Attractions and challenges
On the island, you can explore the ruins of an ancient monastery and natural rock formations visible during low tide, such as the Venus Pool. The pool is 135 feet long and 16 feet wide, making it perfect for swimming in its approximately 8 feet deep water.
The island is also a paradise for bird watchers, offering a haven for many rare, migratory species.
Prepare for adventure
Staying on Lihou requires some preparation. Guests need to transport their luggage along a steep road and manage without conveniences such as internet or services like food delivery. It's a fantastic opportunity to disconnect from civilization and enjoy nature.
Perfect place for groups
Lihou House can accommodate about 10 people, making it ideal for group trips. For only 40 pounds per person, you can experience island life, which offers more than just luxury amenities. It's a unique place to take a break from everyday life and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.
