Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and restore your inner-harmony on a wellness break to Dorset.

With such busy lives, it is sometimes difficult to find the time to relax and unwind. But for our own health and wellbeing, we should all make space in our schedules for a bit of peace and tranquillity.

And what could be better than a short break or holiday to beautiful Dorset. Blessed with both countryside and coast, it’s the perfect retreat where you can recharge your batteries, de-stress and get away from the daily grind.

Feel rejuvenated

If you are in need of a pamper day or spa break, choose from our selection of exclusive hotels. Take a dip in the pool, relax in the hot tub, steam room or sauna, and for the ultimate treat, book a massage, facial or manicure and feel 10 years younger.

You could even book an indulgent afternoon tea or pop a bottle of fizz for a truly decadent day to remember.

Go on, have some well deserved 'you time'.

Enjoy taking daily yoga classes and workshops, which might be outside or on the beach. Eat delicious and nutritious food – good for the body and the soul. And relax in tranquil surroundings, where you will feel re-balanced and uplifted.

This will be a true digital detox where you can unplug from the grid. So put your phone on silent, turn off your laptop and tune into the sounds of nature.

For a more indulgent experience, add a yoga session and perhaps a specialist workshop, such as a mindfulness meditation class.

Be Mindful

Our lives today are full of worrying about what happened yesterday or being anxious about what might happen tomorrow.

Imagine if you could clear your mind and just be in the present moment. That is what the art of Mindfulness is all about. Taking in your surroundings, tapping into your 5 senses and enjoying being in the now.

You can join a Mindfulness Walk at Durlston Country Park. Learn some simple relaxation techniques and enjoy the beauty of this National Nature Reserve.

Set yourself a challenge

Are you in training for a triathlon or IronMan? Need to get in the miles before the big event? How about tackling some of Dorset’s steep hills and rugged coastline to not only get fit but enjoy a gorgeous view at the same time. Or perhaps you need a few training events to test your metal. Take a look at our sporting events and sign up today.

Ever thought about walking all 630 miles of the South West Coast Path. It’s perfectly possible with lots of ideas and itineraries, so you can plan it yourself or get help from our expert guides. Get your walking boots on and scale the highest point along the south coast, Golden Cap. We promise when you get to the top it will be worth all the effort.

Get healthy, get fit

Whether you are looking for a scenic stroll or a hilltop hike, our walking guides will show you the way and tell you about local history and wildlife. Plus if you need it, they will help with planning your accommodation and transport. Go on, book a walking break today.
