Wellness tourism is well and truly on the rise, evolving from a luxury niche into a mainstream phenomenon, and recently renovated, AA Hotel of the Year England - Down Hall Hotel, Spa & Estate - is fully embracing holistic health experiences with its new wellness weekend retreats for 2025. Promising the ultimate getaway to escape the stresses of modern living and taking place against 110-acres of stunning greenery in the heart of the Essex countryside, the Wellness Sound Bath Weekend (17th January) and Breathwork Weekend (Friday 21st February) are the perfect idyllic breaks to switch off, reset and dedicate some well-needed zen time.
Wellness Sound Bath Weekend Retreat (Sound Bathing, Yoga, Dinner & Overnight Stay)
Combining sensory sound bathing with sunrise and sunset yoga, this is the ultimate self-care experience. Begin with a relaxing 25-minute spa treatment followed by a restorative yoga session to connect and awaken the senses, led by Down Hall's Wellness and Holistic consultant Camilla Sheeley. Enjoy a decadent meal in the Garden Room, before a moonlit evening sound bath session. Enter a state of deep relaxation and absorb the soothing sounds of the gong, relieving tension and anxiety throughout the body. After a restful night's sleep, a revitalising morning yoga session before breakfast in The Potting Shed will set you up for a perfect day ahead.
The Wellness Sound Bath Weekend Retreat is priced at £225 per person (double or twin room) and is available on Friday 17th January, Friday 28th March.
Breathwork Weekend Retreat (Breathwork, Sound Bathing, Dinner & Overnight Stay)
Embark on a breathwork journey like no other, starting with a spa treatment in Eden Spa followed by a powerful breathwork and meditation class led by Down Hall's Wellness and Holistic expert Camilla Sheeley; where you will be guided through a range of breathing techniques and states of consciousness, communicating with the nervous system, one breath at a time. A three-course dinner will follow, curated by Executive Chef Robert Pearce in the property's 2 AA Rosette restaurant the Garden Room, before a meditative harmony gong and sound bath session. Connect with the energy of the sound vibrations, de-stress and relieve tension. After a night's sleep in one of the luxurious bedrooms, watch the sunrise and enjoy a yoga and meditation class followed by breakfast and a guided woodland walk to round off the ultimate sensory escape.
