Wellness Retreat Dorset | The 7-Step Ritual & Spa Experience

Relax and unwind at the South West’s most unique Wellness Centre in Dorset. Located just 20 minutes from Poole and Weymouth, and perfectly situated for those visiting Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, our spa is the ultimate sanctuary for countryside relaxation.

Taking inspiration from the world-famous Sky Lagoon in Iceland, our Wellness Zone combines European pampering with the raw beauty of the Dorset coast. Whether you are staying in our Luxury Safari Tents or visiting for a spa day, our ritual is designed to reset your mind and body.

The 7-Step Wellness Ritual (£55pp)

Experience our signature journey of fire and ice. This 2-hour private experience uses mineral-rich water sourced from 80 metres underground right here in Dorset.

  1. The Warm Embrace: Sink into our naturally heated hot tub and let the calming energy of the deep-source spa water relax your muscles.

  2. The Cold Plunge: Invigorate your system and awaken your senses with a quick, refreshing dip in the ice bath.

  3. Nordic Sauna: Enter a state of tranquility as deep warmth opens your pores, removes toxins, and cleanses the skin.

  4. Drisk Mist: Step into our “Drisk” shower—a crisp, revitalizing mist inspired by the Icelandic elements.

  5. Signature Scrub: Rejuvenate and exfoliate your skin with our invigorating body scrub.

  6. Hungarian Moor Mud Bath: Harness the power of nutrient-rich mud. Sink into a warm mud bath to detoxify the body and deeply hydrate the skin.

  7. The Refresh: Finish your journey with a gut-friendly Mixed Berry Kefir from the Dorset Dairy Co—creamy, tangy, and revitalizing.

Are Mud baths good for you?
Are Mud baths good for you?
Turkish mud baths are excellent for your skin and overall health, but when compared to Austrian, German, or Hungarian moor mud baths, the latter are often considered superior. Moor mud from these lowland regions is particularly prized for its rich mineral content and therapeutic properties. These baths have a long tradition in Europe and are known to be more effective in promoting circulation, detoxifying the body, and soothing sore muscles.
How can a mud bath benefit?
How can a mud bath benefit?
The anti-inflammatory properties of Moor Mud make it an effective treatment for muscle and joint pain. It helps reduce swelling and discomfort associated with conditions like arthritis and rheumatism. Moor Mud wraps and mud baths can provide relief and improve mobility. The minerals in Moor Mud stimulate blood flow, enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery to the body's tissues. This increased circulation helps rejuvenate the skin and supports the body's natural healing processes. Moor Mud treatments are known for their calming effects. Taking a mud bath or using a Moor Mud mask can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, contributing to better sleep and overall mental well-being.
Can I wear a swimming costume?
Can I wear a swimming costume?
It's probably best, the area can be booked for sole use, but in some cases you may be sharing the area with others. The beauty of Moor mud is that it is held in suspension and doesn’t stick to the body, or clothes meaning you can simply towel off after the bath without the need for a shower, allowing the minerals to continue benefiting your skin. Some mud baths can stain clothes, particularly those that use thick mud. However, moor mud baths are different because the mud is kept in suspension within the water, making it less likely to stain
