Visiting the Falkland Islands

Accommodation

In common with other countries, before entering the Falkland Islands, all visitors are required to provide the Customs & Immigration team with details on where they will stay for the duration of their time here.

The Falkland Islands Tourist Board has a range of accommodation options available on their website, from cosy cottages in the countryside, to lodges on the Outer Islands or five-star hotels in Stanley.

Wherever you stay, you will be assured of a warm welcome and will quickly discover why Falkland Islanders are renowned for their generosity and hospitality.
