Scotland
Scotland is filled with fun, competitive and quirky traditions—some of which go back hundreds of years. The country boasts more than 1,500 castles, has some of the most stunning scenery in all of the United Kingdom and is home to adventurers and history enthusiasts alike. Scotland may be small but there's plenty to shout about from majestic islands, wild coastlines and pristine beaches to rolling hills, glens and highlands—Scotland’s nature is a huge part of its appeal. As scientists and ancient wisdom both teach us: our connection to nature is essential to our health and well-being. And for those who love a more urban lifestyle, the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow are up to the task.

Water Wellness for Mental & Physical Health
If you’ve ever been close to the sea or a lake and felt a deep sense of peace wash over you, you've experienced the power of water. As we’re learning more about how water affects us mentally, physically and emotionally, Scotland might just be the perfect place to dip your toes in water wellness. And thanks to Scotland’s spirit of adventure and its many rivers, canals, misty lochs and miles of coastline, activities like wild swimming, stand up paddle boarding, wake-boarding, kayaking and waterside walks are never out of reach. For off-beat adventures, experience the best of the Scottish islands with an island-hopping excursion.
Wilderness Retreats & Forest Getaways
Wellness in the wild is a huge thing in Scotland. From spending a weekend in a cozy cottage in the middle of the forest to adventurous and active wilderness retreats, you are invited to experience serenity at its finest. You can expect anything from hikes along the coast and swimming in the open water to forest games and morning mountain yoga. There are even women-only wilderness retreats for those who wish to travel solo and connect with other like-minded women. Choose between modern and historic hotels, romantic and luxurious wooden cabins, sustainable roundhouses or a typical Scottish bothy. And if you’re looking for a spa getaway, rest assured, there are plenty in the wilderness of Scotland, too!
