Experience wellness travel at its finest with our carefully curated active getaway that seamlessly fuse adventure, fitness, and relaxation. Embark on an unforgettable journey toward improved wellbeing in a location that’s nothing short of breath-taking.

This retreat is perfect for solo travellers, small groups or couples, and promises an invigorating blend of wellness activities, beautiful scenery, nutritious locally sourced meals, and rejuvenating experiences amidst the stunning Cairngorms National Park.


DAY 1:

The adventure begins with a leisurely hike, leading you to an incredible viewpoint before we gather around the dining table to enjoy our first evening meal together, savouring local cuisine, prepared by our private chefs.

DAY 2:

After breakfast, we kick off the day with a group boot camp style workout, accommodated to all fitness levels, with the scenic backdrop of the surrounding mountains.

Following a hearty lunch, take some well-deserved time for yourself, indulging in relaxation and self-care, before a 2-hour group walk that will lead you to the cascading River Feshie and to a secluded waterfall. Immerse yourself in the fresh Highland waters with a wild dip (optional).

DAY 3:

Get up close and personal with the majestic wild reindeer that freely roam Cairngorm Mountain. These gentle creatures are not only approachable, but can also be hand-fed.

Following this unique encounter, we head to the hills to push ourselves physically to be rewarded with panoramic views of the Cairngorm Mountains.

After lunch at the lodge, we embark on an adventure through the pine forest, this time on quad bikes, before some well-deserved relaxation in our riverside wood-fired sauna.

As night falls, we conclude the retreat by gathering around the riverside campfire (weather dependant), reflecting on the cherished memories created and the lasting connections made.

Join us on this extraordinary adventure, where the Cairngorms National Park becomes the backdrop for your health and wellness transformation.
