Wellness
-
Connect with Nature
Mindful HikingGet outside and enjoy the beauty of nature on one of the many walks and hikes around the Islands. Enjoy forest bathing in bluebell-filled woods, breathe in the sea air on a coastal jaunt or do some grounding with your toes in clean white sands. Wander through country lanes or explore cliff paths with views that make you pause in wonder.
-
Take a Wild Dip
Wild SwimmingWith proclaimed health benefits such as lowered stress levels and a boosted immune system, cold water swimming is a growing wellness trend across the world that has long been a daily activity for islanders. Enjoy a dip in the clear water in our tidal bathing pools, secluded bays and hidden pools.
-
Enjoy Yoga in the Fresh Air
Over the summer months, local instructors host early morning and sunset yoga sessions at various beachside locations, such as Cobo Bay and Port Soif. For a small price, you can experience the warmth of the rising or setting sun and the nourishing effects of an hour’s yoga. Most announce the classes as Facebook events, so make sure you check listings during your trip to the Islands.

A Luxury Spa Break
Hotels with SpasIf a wellness break translates to a traditional spa pampering session to you, then check into a hotel spa. Never more than a stroll away from the ocean and a great view, each offers something different from hot stone massages and hydrating facials to reiki and reflexology treatments.
