Wellness retreats in the UK
From wholesome manors with heated pools and saunas to survivalist weeks with SAS operators and farm-to-fork foragers, our spa homes and wellness retreats in the UK were picked with peace of mind, in mind.
Wild swimming clinics in crystal-clear private lakes. Sunrise yoga on white sandy beaches. Mindful walks through bluebells woods. Steaming mugs of cacao, and poetry recitals by huge open fires. There's wellness retreats in the UK, and then there’s taking exclusive hire of one of Britain’s most extraordinary private spa homes. Spread across the nation, from Cornwall to the Brecon Beacons, these homes have all the makings of a smooth-sailing group gathering; from heated pools to games and cinema rooms, all can come together in ease beneath one roof.
Choosing a home from this distinctive collection is just the starting point of your tailor-made wellness retreat. From forest-bathing to fully-catered stays where a private chef juices the morning celery, you'll be invited to build a custom itinerary with the help of the yoga teachers, butlers, and spa therapists that make up our private book of contacts. For those seeking a ready-made retreat with all the bells and whistles, our guided trips await with survival training from polar explorers and backwoods-style cooking workshops that'll turn the whole group to chefs.
