COME AND STAY AT IONA ABBEY IN 2026

The Iona Community warmly invites you to stay in Iona Abbey as our guest. Whether you are planning a pilgrimage to Iona, looking for a few days retreat or an engaging week-long programme, come and join us in community life and in the work and worship that frames our day.

Our new 2026 programme outlines many interesting opportunities available to come and stay with us in 2026. Take your pick from Time and Space, Rewild Your Spirit, Practicing Hope and many, many more.

In our programme weeks, guests engage in conversation and action focused on justice and peace, embedded in the concerns of the Iona Community. We explore faith, take part in creative activities, and create community sharing meals together.

Time staying at Iona Abbey includes sharing in the practical tasks of communal living, including helping with cooking, cleaning and hosting. You’ll have time and space to relax outdoors, explore the beautiful island with its white sandy beaches and inspiring wildlife, or simply be in the peace of the Abbey church.

We will shortly be adding more information about each week. Sign up to our newsletter to get notified when the full programme goes live – you’ll find the newsletter signup form below.
