But how do you choose? Here are our top tips on how to choose the best relaxation retreat, here in the UK, using all of our 15 years of experience.
What are you looking for?
The first thing you need to think about when choosing your best relaxation retreat, is what are you looking for? What do you find relaxing? If your idea of relaxing is, you and your friends chatting over a glass of bubbly and fine dining- then find a place that offers that. If retail therapy eases your mind, find a retreat with the right balance of rural relaxation and city vibe. Or if you simply want to enjoy the comforts of peace and quiet, in a beautiful manor house for weekend, there’s plenty of choice.
Essentially, know what you want out of your getaway to ensure you have the best relaxation. If you’re not sure, that’s ok, we’ve got some different holiday types listed on website; have a browse, which one catches your eye? Have a look at our Holiday Types
Do your research.
As the summer months approach, you find that everyone and everybody is promoting the best destinations and you find yourself bombarded with all these deals. Of course, it can be very stressful- not the way to start a relaxation retreat is it? Our top tip is to do your research. Here at Wellbeing Escapes, as well as a price match guarantee, we list all the different retreats here in the UK- simply, to the point and easy to compare (we also let you into any Wellbeing Escape exclusive benefits you can’t get anywhere else).
Spend time assessing reviews, comparing the prices and find out which retreat offers you the best value for your money and of course, for what you’re looking for. If you don’t have the time, ask an expert who can get the best deals for you based on your own needs. This will help you avoid booking a retreat that may look great, but doesn’t match your needs, which is important when relaxation is required to go back to daily life refreshed, ready to take on the world.
Location, Location, Location.
Where do you picture your relaxation retreat? Here in the UK, we have some beautiful destinations, right on our door steps. Location is such an important factor when choosing the best relaxation retreat for you. Much like looking at what you want from your retreat, you have to look at what places are going to give you that. Do you love the rolling countryside and beautiful nature walks? Then why not consider locations like Sussex? Or have you always fancied visiting a particular location in UK? Now is your chance!
When considering the location, think about how you’re going to get there. Of course, the purpose of choosing a UK relaxation retreat, is that they are all on our doorstep (relatively speaking), so choose a travel method that is going to best suit your needs. If you’re strictly a driving person, then great! Put some of your favourite tunes on and travel to your destination at your own leisure. Or if actually you fancy taking the stress out of driving, grab a train, choose a retreat that’s accessible and relax from the moment you close your front door.

Plan Ahead.
Finally, one of other top tips is to plan ahead. The whole purpose of a relaxation retreat is to be relaxed! No one needs the ‘night before’ stress, writing and re-writing checklists, it’s not needed. (We’ve even got you covered with our ‘Packing Check List’).
Be organised and eliminate the stress. Do your packing a couple of nights before, make sure all your electronics are working and you have everything you need so when it comes to the night before, all you need to do is prepare your playlist for journey and get a good night’s sleep. Even update your Facebook/emails, letting everyone know where you’re off to and that you’ll be offline for a few days- Might as well share your good news!
And that’s it. Here’s our top tips for choosing your best UK relaxation retreat. If you have any questions or even have some of your own tips please don’t hesitate to contact our wellbeing specialists on 020 3735 7555 or email info@wellbeingescapes.com.
