Wellness Nature Walk.
Step into the calm of the season and reconnect with the landscape around you.

Even a short time outdoors can boost clarity, ease the nervous system and support deeper, more restorative sleep. A mindful way to let winter work its quiet magic.

Spa Experiences.
Oxygen infusion Therapy - 60 Mins.
This rejuvenating facial infuses the skin with a gentle stream of high-pressure oxygen, delivering a bespoke blend of nutrient-rich serums precisely tailored to each guest’s needs. Especially restorative in winter, it deeply hydrates dry, dehydrated skin, boosts circulation for a natural, healthy glow, and fortifies the moisture barrier against the season’s cold, dry air. The treatment soothes redness, revives dullness and leaves the complexion calm, luminous and beautifully renewed.
Wellbeing Circuit - 60 Mins.
The Winter Wellness Water Circuit is a soothing journey of warmth, contrast, and mindful restoration. Guests begin with a warm herbal tea and a gentle shower before moving through the sauna, a refreshing breath of winter air, and the calming flow of the heated outdoor pool and hot tub. A hydration pause and eucalyptus steam room further relax the body and clear the mind, followed by a cool rinse to reawaken the senses. This harmonious rhythm of hot and cold enhances circulation, strengthens immunity, calms the nervous system, and leaves guests feeling balanced, radiant, and deeply refreshed.
This circuit is available to hotel guests and guests of the spa with booked facials, body treatments and massages.

Communal Dinners.
Sharing in a feast communally is one of our oldest traditions. And for good reason – eating with others builds connection, reduces stress and boosts your well-being. Join us to experience our communal dinners and enjoy a thoughtfully crafted meal built around the warm and nourishing flavours of the winter season – our chefs have been curing, smoking and fermenting to highlight traditional techniques used to preserve during these cold months. Your seriously delicious candlelit evening includes a cocktail reception with welcome drink and snacks and a shared 4 course feast.
