Festival of Wellness
Come to life after winter and celebrate the spring equinox on Tresco with a week of holistic wellbeing dedicated to healing, relaxation, and peace.
The Festival of Wellness
| Friday 14th - Saturday 22nd March |
In March 2025, we’re celebrating the elements with our first Festival of Wellness – a week of wild well-being inspired by the island and carefully created for all, from seasoned yogis to those new to wellness.
From meditative morning yoga to spa therapies distilled from the crystal-clear waters of the islands, gentle introductions to trail running and cold-water immersion to breathwork, gardening and floristry – there truly is something for everyone.
Exclusive events led by renowned guides will complement daily offerings from island practitioners, all against the backdrop of nourishing nature, the rhythm of the tides and the seasonal shift as the island comes alive.
Away from the pressures of mainland life, you can seek refuge in the island spa, run from sauna to ocean slipway and let your body and mind give way to total relaxation. Spend mornings in the Flying Boat Studio with our island yogis and afternoons on the sand or under the palms.
Hunker down in our cosy coastal inn, or find your perfect place to stay from our choice of self-catering holiday cottages scattered across the island. Bring along family and friends, or escape for some solo self-care.
Whether you're a Tresco regular wanting to experience something new or already have an established practice and need the time, space and guidance to focus on your self-development, the Festival of Wellness will provide.
Lose your sense of time and instead live by the sun's rise and fall and the ebb and flow of the tides. Rediscover time to be with the Festival of Wellness...
