Details of this retreat

Long-Term Lease for Creatives | 3–12 Months | Scandi Cabin | Solo Stay

A rare, off-grid sanctuary for those doing deep work.

This is not a holiday. It’s an invitation to return to the essentials — silence, space, and sustained focus — on a wild Northern Irish island. The Nivrava Residency is available for select individuals working on creative, philosophical, or healing projects that require time and privacy. Applicants must be self-led and deeply respectful of nature.

Includes:

Private use of the modern Scandinavian log cabin (fully furnished, wood-burning stove, workspace)
Access to entire island (meadow, stone jetty, meditation points, beach, stargazing lawn)
Monthly supply run (by arrangement)
Initial orientation and optional weekly/monthly check-in with local support
Utilities, firewood, and kitchenware included.
Solar powered electricity and 4G mobile internet available (optional digital detox strongly encouraged)

Ideal For:

Writers working on a novel, memoir, or body of poetry
Academics completing a dissertation or research
Artists exploring silence, nature, and long-form creation
Philosophers or seekers on sabbatical or deep retreat
Remote workers craving simplicity and solitude

Pricing (All-Inclusive):

3 months: £4,500 total (£1,500/month)
6 months: £8,400 total (£1,400/month)
12 months: £15,600 total (£1,300/month)
Please do not make payment before receiving confirmation of let.

Possibility of rolling style contract following initial agreement period. Extra features are possible and please contact us to discuss exact requirements.

NB: Application Required:

Due to the sensitivity of the space, this offering is by application only. A short project description and personal bio is required. We seek creators aligned with Nivrava’s values: solitude, respect for the land, and truth-seeking.
