The stay

A slower week, with the spa at the centre of it.

A wellness stay is built around the spa and the pace of the island: treatments, yoga or the gym in the mornings, lighter food, and evenings that end early. Spas, and what they offer, differ a great deal from island to island, so it is worth choosing the island for its spa as much as for its beach.

Plan your stay

Choosing the island

What to look for in a spa island.

These are worth checking before you choose.

  1. The spa

    What it offers, and how far ahead treatments are best booked.

  2. Yoga and movement

    Yoga, a gym or classes on the beach, and whether they are included or charged.

  3. Food

    Lighter menus and fresh food, and a meal plan that suits how you want to eat.

  1. A quiet pace

    An island with fewer motorised water sports, where the evenings end early.

  2. Packages

    Some resorts sell spa or wellness packages. We compare what each one includes.

  3. Longer stays

    A week or more, so the days can stay slow.

What we arrange

Booked before you arrive.

  1. Treatments

    We ask the resort to book your treatments for the days you want them, before you arrive.

  2. The island

    A spa island, chosen for your brief by our reservations team.

  3. Transfers

    Seaplane, speedboat or domestic flight, timed around your international flights.

  4. One contact

    One contact from your first message until you fly home.

    A day with nothing fixed at all.
