March. A month for wellness
As spring returns, there is no better time to celebrate our surroundings, relax, restore and soak up the longer days and blooming buds
This March will see our inaugural Festival of Wellness and it couldn't come at a better time. March is a beautiful month, with blooming buds, longer days and a sense of anticipation for the busy season ahead. After the dramatic winter, seeing Tresco gradually launch back into life is a delight, and this year it will be extra special.
As any regular visitors will know, Tresco lends itself perfectly to wellness. Here, we are surrounded by the elements, are guided by the rhythm of the tides and are part of a landscape that is simultaneously dramatic and peaceful. This March, the Festival of Wellness will offer a wonderful programme of events, in turn showcasing how we can benefit from nature and find tranquillity in our busy world. There is so much in store and it will be a week to remember, hopefully paving the way for an incredible annual event.
Local experts and guides will be at the forefront of the festival, showcasing the rich diversity that this archipelago has to offer. From yogic practices and trail running adventures to seaweed secrets, cold-water immersion and foraging, there is something for everyone. In fact, the range of what's on offer highlights just how wellness is for everyone. We want everyone from seasoned wellness enthusiasts to fitness and yoga novices to get involved in one way or another.
But don't just take our word for it, hear from the experts themselves...

'Scilly is a remarkable place to practise yoga - the escapism that a remote island offers is unparalleled when it comes to a peaceful pace of life, and time for reflection, self-kindness and care. Some time out from the normality of life can make your journey of rediscovery on the mat all the more meaningful'

'Running is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and with the stunning local scenery, the trails on Scilly are a pleasure to run. I am lucky enough to call the islands my home, and I love to share my passion for immersing yourself within the archipelago'

'Tresco is special and my space at the Abbey Garden is special too. It’s not just a productive garden - it’s a sanctuary for people. It’s certainly a sanctuary for me. It is a place that lends itself to healing.'
With fresh and crisp specials on at the eateries, a brilliant menu of treatments available at Tresco Island Spa, and a range of spectacular accommodation to choose from, it is not an event you will want to miss.
Bring all the family along and make the festival of wellness a reason to reunite with loved ones or book a stay for one and have a long weekend dedicated to peace, restoration and complete and utter relaxation.
Whatever you choose, there are some beautiful cottages to choose from as well as rooms at The New Inn and the luxurious Sea Garden Apartments. Below are two gems that would make the perfect March hideaway...

Tucked away amidst Borough woods, Hedge Rock boasts incredible views towards St Martin's and is the perfect cosy bolt hole for March. Explore the beaches on your doorstep and venture across the island to take part in flower crown workshops, breathwork and dawn yoga...
Teal
Nestled amidst the reeds of the Great Pool, Teal is a serene spot that feels like a retreat away from hustle and bustle. However, it is in fact at the heart of the island and is the perfect base for tours of the gardens, sound baths at the studio and runs around the north end...
Celebrate the beginning of 2025, the return of spring and the lengthening days with us this March. You may arrive carrying the stresses of mainland life and work, but you will certainly leave feeling lighter and ready to seize spring and beyond.
