Visit the Island

Visit Enlli for its wildlife, culture and heritage

The experience of staying on Ynys Enlli is unique and very special. A chance to ‘switch off’, to spend a week under the stars, surrounded by wildlife, history and the elements.

Come for a digital detox retreat on your own or come for an adventure with a full house of friends and family. A week on Enlli is certain to give you the chance to relax and to reconnect with yourself and nature.

Staying on Enlli

Get familiar before your stay

The houses are traditional farm-houses, lofts or a traditional Welsh crog-loft with basic facilities. All houses are off grid but all have a small fridge/freezer, gas cooker and oven, solar lamps, and most have wood burning stoves. All houses have simple compost toilets.

There are no bad views on Enlli and each house has a special quality and character to it that you’ll fall in love with.
