Places to Stay in the Falkland Islands

The Renowned Falkland Islands Hospitality

The Waterfront Hotel in Stanley

Wherever you choose to stay in the Falkland Islands you can be sure of a very warm welcome. There is a spontaneous friendliness with Falkland Islanders and your hosts (whether a cottage in the countryside or a hotel in Stanley) always appear keen to provide all sorts of information including about the best places to visit, the latest wildlife information, weather reports as well as responding helpfully to any questions you may have.

Plenty of Choice

There is a variety of Falkland Islands accommodation to choose from. In Stanley there are some well-appointed hotels like The Waterfront Hotel, Malvina House Hotel and Shorty’s Motel all of which are well regarded for the standard of their food as well as the views.

In fact Stanley boasts a wide variety of accommodation with something to suit all tastes and budgets. B&Bs offer good value for money but full-board is also available at some establishments.

There is also plenty of accommodation in cosy cottages in the countryside. Guest houses and farm houses offer visitors the opportunity to meet local families and get a real feel for Island life.

Here, fresh home-cooked food is usually the order of the day and many such establishments run “honesty bars”. These are wonderful places to relax and chat, and find out more about the wildlife and sites in the local area.

Remoter Settlements

The more adventurous traveller may choose a cottage in an isolated location. These are fantastic places to really get away from it all and live life as you wish. But even countryside lodges and guest houses have the off-the-beaten-track feeling. Clear night skies are glorious; the sounds of the wildlife lull you gently to sleep.

Forging Lasting Friendships

However long your stay, you will quickly discover why Falkland Islanders are renowned for their generosity and hospitality, forging friendships bringing many visitors back to the Islands time and time again.
