Altandhu lies 3 miles (5 kilometres) southeast of Reiff, 2 miles (3 kilometres) northwest of Polbain and about 6 miles (10 kilometres) from the main village of Achiltibuie along the coast road to the east.
Despite its relatively small size, there are a number of interesting local attractions, including the Am Fuaran bar,[3] and Port Beag Chalets.[4] 2011 film The Eagle filmed on location amongst the landscapes surrounding Alandhu, including Achnahaird Bay.[5]
