- Swish spa and leisure resort on the eastern shores of Loch Fyne
- A 40-minute drive from Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park
- Cycle hire, fitness centre, indoor and outdoor pools, play area
Bag yourself a blissful break at Portavadie Loch Fyne, a spa and leisure resort on the shores of a lake in a part of the Scottish Highlands known as the ‘Secret Coast’. It’s an all-season spot with glorious views, a heated infinity pool looking out over the water, and first-rate marina facilities.
The site also has restaurants, bars, shops… and an intriguing backstory. It sits on a bit of land in Argyll that was originally earmarked to become an oil rig construction facility but was never used. Nowadays, it’s a swish resort designed to appeal to all sorts of travellers, from families and couples to hikers and sailors.
Spend days dipping in and out of the indoor and outdoor pools, breaking up the aquatic activities by exercising in the fitness centre, or cycling on local forest trails using one of the hired bikes. Jaunts in the car could include drives around the lush lake in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park (40 minutes).
Alternatively, stick to the site and fish on the loch or birdwatch – guests have been known to glimpse buzzards, otters and golden eagles sparking through the skies. Keen-eyed visitors have spotted basking sharks out in the water too.
For beach days, the sandy sweep of Ostel Bay is a 15-minute drive.

Fantastic worth the journey. Easy to reach from Talbert ferry

Hi Craig we always aim to give that wow factor that our coastline so deserves! A concrete Grey Waste pan is in the planning so hopefully that will be sorted for your next visit and in the mean time anyone that needs assistance of any kind need only ask and we will be there with strong backs and expert pouring abilities. Looking forward to showing off more of our facilities on your next visit. The Portavadie Team |

Hi Allan thanks for the great rating! We try to make life as easy and relaxing as we can (while still protecting our grass). Maybe we need to find some extra large draft excluders? Looking forward to seeing you next time. The Portavadie Team |

Local attractions
There’s plenty on site to keep you occupied, but for days out and about head to historical structures such as the ruined Mac Ewen Castle fort (20 minutes) or the medieval Royal Castle of Tarbet (40 minutes) stronghold, then round off adventures the Scottish way with a dram or two at the Whisky West Coast distillery (40 minutes).
Those eager to explore a touch further afield could bound over to the Isle of Bute (an hour and 15 minutes) for ambles around the Art Deco and Victorian architecture of palm-lined Rothesay, a town that's rather incongruously known for having some of the best public toilets in the nation. Walks are fab on Bute too – head north for strolls through a heather-strewn landscape.
Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park (40 minutes) is just as scenic a destination. Wander among handsome hills and glens or find a spot to relax by one of the many lakes before pausing in Dunoon (50 minutes), one of the Firth of Clyde’s main resort towns, to take in the Victorian pier and rummage in the craft shops and galleries.
