Wellness Breaks in Guernsey & the Bailiwick

Yoga on the beach? Meditating to the sound of waves lapping on the shore? Freshly cooked local produce, full of nutrients and balanced to perfection? If this is what you would like from a short break, then Guernsey has the answer.

The island of Guernsey has a lot to offer for those seeking to rewind, restore and rejuvenate. 27 beautiful beaches, stunning views, a wealth of walks, tranquil havens and wonderful wildlife await. Just visiting and taking time out to listen to the sound of the ocean, eat wonderfully fresh food and discover some of the gardens and places to visit can do wonders for the soul.

Alongside this there is a conscious effort within Guernsey and her Bailiwick isles of Herm, Sark and Alderney, to promote wellness. Hotels, restaurants and practitioners have been getting together to offer holistic packages for those seeking time out to bring balance back to their life. Be this in the form of detoxing, weight loss, fitness, treatments, classes or experiences, Guernsey awaits.
