Sea Lion Lodge

---

Sea Lion Lodge is the most southerly lodge hotel in the world, but it is also one of the most luxurious places to stay in the Falkland Islands. As it is the only hotel on the island, visitors are assured of their privacy and security wherever their daily adventures may take them. The Lodge also offers spectacular views of the South Atlantic – there is nothing but water between Sea Lion Island and Antarctica.

The Lodge, purpose built in 1986, is managed by Robert McKay. He, along with his staff, ensure that their guests are superbly looked after throughout their stay.

On arrival, guests are taken on a 4WD tour to acquaint them with the island. The Lodge is located in the centre of the island within easy reach of gorgeous stretches of sandy beach. At just 5 miles long and 1.5 miles at its widest, it is possible to explore much of what the island has to offer on foot, so guests are free to organise their day as they wish.

Walking on Sea Lion Island is easy going and guests can find all manner of whale and seal bones on the beaches, as well as debris from shipwrecks. Guests are asked to beachcomb with their eyes only – nothing must be removed from the beaches.

With a resident population of just seven, guests at the Lodge can expect to have the entire island to themselves.
