Lifestyle in spring
It’s not just nature that undergoes a renewal in spring. Lifestyle breaks are designed to tear you away from the hurly burly of life and leave you feeling like a brand new version of you. Treat your body to a thorough ‘spring clean’ with an indulgent escape to a luxury spa or, if you like, start your renewal from the inside by learning to meditate in a Japanese Garden. Prefer spending a relaxing holiday in the company of family or friends? A glamping group holiday with beauty therapies, fishing packages and personal chef service might be right up your street.
