A restorative stay at Calcot & Spa, a historic Cotswolds estate where sustainability, wellness and rewilding come together. From wildflower meadows to onsite beehives, this is eco-luxury at its most meaningful.

October in the Alps is one of the most underrated times to escape — golden mornings, crisp air, sunshine and stillness, without the chaos of ski season. My stay at The Alpina Gstaad became the autumn reset I didn’t realise I desperately needed. From serene slow mornings and lake-side bike rides, to conversations with the Executive Chef about their impressive zero-waste philosophy, everything about this retreat feels thoughtful, grounding and connected to nature. The hotel sits high above the village, surrounded by the Bernese Alps, with a farm-to-table dining ethos, warm outdoor pool, and the heavenly Six Senses Spa that encourages you to finally exhale. It’s the perfect place to step away from the city, nourish yourself, and remember what rest can feel like.

Tucked into a private bay in the North East of Crete, Greece’s largest island, you’ll find Daios Cove, a hidden gem of serenity and seclusion.

Fritton Lake, the quintessentially conscious getaway.
