5 REMOTE COLD-WEATHER ISLANDS YOU NEED TO VISIT


FORGET THE SWIMSUIT AND FLIP-FLOPS, YOU’LL NEED A PARKA AND HIKING BOOTS

The word “island” typically evokes images of silky white sands and lapping
turquoise waves. But there are dozens of idyllic remote islands worth visiting
around the world where the temperature dips below freezing and a fireplace feels
like a necessity. 

While beachside lounging may not be on the itinerary for these island vacations,
you can instead count on memorable activities like polar bear-spotting,
cold-weather surfing and picturesque hiking. Swap out your bathing suit and
flip-flops for a jacket and hiking boots, then book a trip to one of these
far-flung, chilly isles.

SVALBARD, NORWAY

Home to the world’s northernmost continuously inhabited town, in Svalbard, you
actually have to look south to see the “Northern” Lights. A part of Norway, this
fascinating archipelago is as wildly rugged as it gets.

But just because it’s closer to the North Pole than Norway doesn’t mean it’s
hard to get to. Travelers can sail to Svalbard with cruise companies like
Hurtigruten, who started their Svalbard Express route this year. You can also
fly into Longyearbyen, the archipelago’s main town, where more than 2,500 people
from over 50 nationalities live.



While there, book a room at historic luxury accommodations like Funken Lodge, or
the more budget-friendly Radisson Blu Polar Hotel. Spend days on the lookout for
polar bears or traversing the tundra with sled dogs. At night, dine at Huset,
Svalbard’s Michelin-worthy fine-dining restaurant, and chase the aurora
borealis.

FAROE ISLANDS

Like something out of a Scandinavian fairytale, the landscape of the Faroe
Islands is the stuff of legends. Emerald green fjords, skyscraper-tall
waterfalls and the bountiful sheep (there are more sheep than people) are all
hallmarks of this self-governing Danish territory.

A new direct flight from New York from Atlantic Airways launched this year,
making these North Atlantic islands more accessible than ever. On arrival, rent
a car from Unicar so you can explore these 18 islands’ tiny, windswept villages
at your own pace.

Plant yourself in the capital city of Tórshavn and stay at the eco-friendly
Hotel Brandan, which has been welcoming guests under its turf roof since 2020.
During your visit, surf the beach in Tórshavn, explore the hiking trails of
Gjógv and visit the famous waterfall in Gásadalur. For traditional Faroese food,
try the fermented delicacies at Raest and the fresh seafood at
Michelin-recommended ROKS.

THESE 12 MUST-VISIT RESORTS ARE ON THEIR OWN PRIVATE ISLANDS

TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA

Known Down Under as Tassie, this southern island can look more like the U.K.
than Australia. Separated by the Bass Strait, the country’s coldest island is
known for its clean air and award-winning wine and cheese.



The capital city of Hobart is beloved for its food and bar scene. Among its most
lauded is Institut Polaire, which celebrates cold-climate sips and bites. In
2022, they opened the Polaire Suite, a Scandi-chic apartment that travelers can
book.

Once you’ve gotten your fill of the city, head east along the East Coast Wine
Trail, stopping at up to 14 vineyards. Stay the night at the oceanside Piermont
Retreat, where you can choose between a charming stone cottage or one of the
new, stunning multi-bedroom timber homes. And whatever you do, don’t miss the
multi-course, hyper-local menu at its restaurant, Homestead.

SHETLAND ISLANDS, SCOTLAND

Scotland has roughly 800 islands off its coast, and none more majestic than the
Shetlands. The archipelago’s untamed, craggy coast draws in nature lovers who
don’t mind the wind whipping through their hair.

Reachable by ferry, flight or cruise, once you’re there, renting a car is the
best way to explore its vast range of islands from Northmavine to Whalsay. The
Shetland Islands’ largest and only town of any considerable size, Lerwick, is
going to be your home base, but its sandstone buildings don’t offer much in the
way of luxury accommodation. Instead, there’s a mixed bag of hotels, guesthouses
and B&Bs for all budgets searchable via Visit Scotland. 



But travelers don’t venture to the Shetlands for cosmopolitan comforts. It’s all
about adventure here. Head out on a bicycle or e-bike and coast along 1,000
miles of roads. Climb its towering cliffs and marvel at its unique birdlife from
above. Cast your line out in the Shetland’s 300-plus freshwater lochs, home to
wild brown trout. Whatever adrenaline-filled activity gets you going, the
Shetlands deliver.

FALKLAND ISLANDS

This long-disputed U.K. territory is self-governing with a surprisingly diverse
3,200-person population from over 60 countries. A popular stop for cruise
companies like Lindblad Expeditions on the way to Antarctica, thousands of
penguins waddle along its wild western shores.

Arguably the hardest to reach on our list of far-flung cold-weather islands, the
Falklands are best accessed by plane if you’re not stopping during a cruise.
Once you arrive, prepare to traverse dirt roads to reach more remote villages
and beaches scattered around East Falkland and West Falkland. And if you’d like
to visit some of the smaller, even more remote islands, a short domestic flight
will take you there.



Base yourself in the capital of Stanley. The tourism board recommends a variety
of guesthouses and lodges showcasing the islands’ famous warm and welcoming
hospitality. While here, hike through stark, dramatic trails without a person in
sight. And always keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, including penguins, seals,
whales, dolphins and its famous black-browed albatross population.
