The best one-day wellness retreats for busy people
How many times have you longingly screenshot a detox week in some sun-doused stretch of the Mediterranean and mentally ‘archived’ it? Or listened to a friend recount their soul-nourishing six week break in India, telling you: ‘you should really go,’ dispensing the exact dose of anticipated awe, while quietly wondering if they could add reality to the syllabus? For most of us, the ten day ‘new-me’ wellness retreat all but resides in our dreams thanks to work, family and chores filling our diaries.
Two weeks at the Mayr clinic or an extended sound bath journey in Bali is just not going to happen right now, nor, realistically, is a three-night ‘reboot’ camp in Devon. If this all sounds horribly familiar, but a speedy recharge is what you’re in dire need of, here are the best one-day wellness retreats in the UK.
Move & Reset retreat with Movementum at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London
The luxurious one
For the ultimate city reset (with bonus views over Hyde Park) Mandarin Oriental offers a full day dedicated to rebooting fitness levels, optimising health and shaking off all that cortisol. The Knightsbridge-based retreat features an active morning with treatment and supper in art-clad The Rosebery, beneath its soothing contemporary chandeliers. If a good night’s sleep is also on the cards, why not sink into the Mandarin Oriental’s lavishly minimalist suites and give all those minerals, happy hormones and rebalancing oils time to soak in.
