Beyond the Beach

And Chill

Beyond the Beach

Who says relaxation has to happen on a beach? Here are our favourite ways to unwind without getting even a grain of sand between your toes.

If beach holidays just aren’t your thing, there are still plenty of other options when it comes to recharging your batteries. These spa, countryside and lakeside retreats combine easily with other itineraries. You might not need to book extra flights to include them. (And the weather’s often better inland than on the coast, too.)
