Frequently Asked Questions

We know that you might have some general questions prior to booking your trip, so we’ve put together some frequently asked questions that our travel specialists are often asked.

What is wellness holiday?

A holiday designed to focus on your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Rather than just sightseeing, the goal of a wellness holiday is to rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit through activities and experiences that promote health and balance. During a wellness holiday, you might engage in practices like yoga, meditation, fitness routines, or spa treatments, as well as enjoy nourishing, healthy food and detox programmes. These holidays are often set in tranquil environments, such as mountains, beaches, or peaceful countryside locations, allowing you to disconnect from daily stress and reconnect with yourself. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, improve your fitness, or simply take some time to recharge, a wellness holiday offers a holistic approach to self-care and well-being. It’s the perfect escape for anyone looking to prioritise their health and relaxation.

Do you charge a booking fee?

No, we do not charge any fees for our services. Instead, we take a commission from the hotel partners we work with once you have returned from your holiday. In fact, booking through us often means you’ll pay less and/or receive added value, such as complimentary services or upgrades, thanks to our strong relationships with our partners. We’re committed to ensuring you get the best experience possible at the best value!

Firstly, you’re not on your own. There’s been a significant increase in people wanting to travel solo in recent years. However, we know you’re probably feeling a little anxious about the decision.
