An island escape

Feeling the need for peace and tranquillity this winter? Tresco is the solution for you. Still alive with colour in the form of exotic plant species in the Abbey Gardens and golden brown bracken along the cliffs and hedgerows, yet calm and restorative with deserted beaches and unapologetic natural beauty. This island has it all.

Time to be immersed. In the wilds of an island winter. Escape to a place where the focus is on nature, relaxation, and exploration. Improving well-being and spending time with loved ones. Wander through stunning gardens, rejuvenate in the spa, or sit beside a log-burning fire with a hot chocolate in-hand. Here’s how you can embrace your seclusion on Tresco.

No matter what your mood, style or who you share time with, these breaks will leave you wanting for nothing. Tresco - your ultimate winter escape.

• Winter Warmer Long Weekend at The New Inn

Say on Tresco this winter with a four night break at The New Inn between November and February.

The recently-renovated New Inn is the perfect home-from-home; its warm and welcoming atmosphere is the cosy heart of island winters.

Head out to walk the island's coastline and woodlands - with Rockfish wellies on hand to save your luggage allowance. Warm your toes in an armchair by the fire in the Sleepers' Lounge, or take a moment with a good book and a warming tipple in the Driftwood Bar. Enjoy hearty suppers from head chef Liam Caves' island-inspired menu in front of the roaring Pavilion log burner.

The perfect way to sink into winter and embrace all that is beautiful about the colder months. The break costs £395 per person based on two sharing.

• The Restorative Retreat

Combining relaxing and restorative yoga, mindful meditation and an appreciation of this beautiful British isle, this escape allows you to pause, relax and refresh.

Focusing around the art of restorative practice, this retreat is all about stillness: contrary - yet complementary - to movement practices that are normally associated with the general use of the term 'yoga'. 

Island yogi Gem leads you through this serene three-night break during the undiscovered yet supremely beautiful island winter.

With morning and evening yoga sessions, entry to Tresco Island Spa and the Abbey Garden and the chance to reflect, restore and rejuvenate, there is no better way to celebrate the beauty of winter.

The 3-night break at The New Inn costs £435 per person, based on two people sharing a room.
