As travel restrictions ease, we’re all starting to think about our next holiday. And after a pretty intense year so far, the focus for many is on switching off, de-stressing, and really nurturing both the body and the mind.
We’ve put together a selection of properties that offer plenty of opportunities for mindfulness and relaxation - from yoga and meditation by the sea, to pampering in-house spa treatments - without compromising on luxury.
Vitigliano Relais & Spa
Florence Area, Italy
8 bedrooms, up to 16 guests
The countryside provides an ideal setting for letting go of everyday worries and distractions and reconnecting with loved ones as well as oneself.
In the heart of Tuscany lies Vitigliano Relais & Spa, offering a serene environment to explore mindfulness techniques; breathe in fresh country air, listen to soft birdsong in the surrounding oak forests, and feel the touch of soft grass underfoot.
Perfect for stress-relieving pamper sessions, the villa boasts its own bath house and wellness centre with outdoor and indoor Jacuzzis, a large swimming pool, a colour therapy shower, a relaxation gallery, and a panoramic massage terrace where all of life’s worries are sure to melt away.
