Give yourself a much needed break from the hectic nature of modern day life and reap the benefits of a short break with us here in the Isle of Wight… Island living gives you space to slow down and relax so you leave us feeling totally rested and restored. Here's how we like to embrace Island living during the autumn/winter months...  

It’s time to unplug…Stay with us for a short break and unplug from technology to benefit from increased mindfulness, improved sleep, lowered anxiety and reduced stress. With the slower pace of life and beautiful surroundings here on The Island, it’s the perfect place to simply ‘stop’ and enjoy the simple life. Many of us feel unbalanced as a result of being glued to our smartphones all day. We all need a good break once in a while to allow our frazzled brains to recover. Disconnect from your digital devices for just a day or two and have a proper break from everything.     Soak it all in… The beautiful scenery that we enjoy across our Island home is a fantastic antidote to the stress of modern day life – fresh sea air, dramatic countryside views and beautiful sunsets.  You could never discover every secluded bay and panoramic vista..but you can try and our walking routes are the perfect way to discover as much as possible.   Foodie paradise  With long hours of sunshine, rich and fertile soils and its southerly location, the Isle of Wight is a foodie paradise! Around our shores you will find foraged, seasonal and home-made delicacies, crab shacks, farm shops and roadside produce stands – all providing food fresh from our soil and seas. Here are our favourite foodie spots that we love to enjoy...   …and breathe Embrace body and mind with one of our holistic studio classes, including Mindful Yoga and Yoga4Health.  By treating the body as a whole, these classes will leave you feeling calm, energised and balanced. Restore Allow yourself some restful, peaceful time-out to receive a healing mind and body balance. The Island Wellness Spa is a place for you to enjoy natural and holistic therapies that will make your body and mind feel relaxed, rested and restored and your skin glow. Escape from the stresses and strains of everyday life, while our therapists use the power of touch to harness your natural energy flows and give you a deep sense of balance and inner calm.
