The Wellness Edit
2025 is all about slow, revitalising, wellness-oriented stays. From dawn dips in icy cool water, to sweating it out in a wood-fired sauna. Slow mornings where coffee and breakfast is savoured, to late night hot tubs whilst watching the stars.
It’s the year of ‘soft travel‘, where simplicity and spontaneity is met with an inward-focus, making your holiday mindful and meaningful.
Choosing a retreat with at home spa facilities, such as a sauna, hot tub, swimming pool or yoga room allows you to prioritise rejuvenation for your next shoreside holiday. We’ve handpicked just a few of our retreats with spa features and a wellness focus, made for revitalising by the shore.
