Sports travel ideas: wild swimming and stay at Loch Melfort Hotel in Scotland

Loch Melfort Hotel on the coast of Argyll in the Scottish Highlands is offering a Corryvreckan wild swimming travel package in August.

The hotel is partnering with swimming experience experts SwimTrek to offer a unique two-night stay which includes a fully guided swim across the Corryvreckan, Scotland’s most iconic open water swims. 

During tides, this spectacular narrow straight is transformed into the third largest whirlpool in the world and is famous for its standing waves. 

Post swim, guests are invited to warm up in Loch Melfort’s cosy lounge, accompanied by their favourite whisky dram and uninterrupted views over isles of the Inner Hebrides.
