RECEIVE YOUR OWN PASSPORT

Dry Island Islonia Passport

ISLONIA IS A MICRONATION

Islonia has been officially independent from the UK since 2010.

After being dissatisfied with the ‘politics of distant shores’ as well as supporting a more local government, the owner of Dry Island, Ian McWhinney, claimed independence before the 2010 election under the name of the micronation of Islonia, which even has its own embassy building on UK mainland in Badachro.

As a paying guest you will receive a free Islonia Passport for you to take away after your visit.

Stunning location and warm friendly hosts. Watching the sunrise/sunset from the patio area and our trip out on the boat with Ian and his kids were highlights. We will be back next year!

We loved staying. You feel like you have the whole island pretty much to yourself. Ian was in all ways accommodating and friendly. We would love to come back, and were really glad we booked four nights - even then it was hard to leave!

The cabin we stayed in sits right on the shore of the loch and has the most amazing views. Seals greeted us in the morning and looking up at the stars at night whilst sipping champagne in the hot tub was wonderful.
