The best global wellness retreats to book right now

No matter what the time of year, it is important to schedule some rest in between juggling your work life, family and friends, and the endless hamster wheel that is social media. 

It’s no secret that an uptick in the pace of life is leading to creative burnout and in moments like these, escape becomes essential. A little pause to give you clarity and renew your energy.
 
To help you bounce back when you need it, here are six restorative House retreats that offer just that. Read on, book in, log off – and go get that inner peace.

Soho House Rome  

If you’re looking for rigour over relaxation, Soho House Rome might be your best bet. The 10-storey, pastel-toned tower houses one of our new Soho Health Club destinations which, alongside the gym, offers some adventurous hi-tech distractions. These include cryotherapy (at a chilling -110°C), and infra-red, ozone and IV-drip therapies. If that’s not enough to revitalise you, order a cup of mushroom extract tea with maca and ashwagandha, and watch the sun rise over a panoramic view of San Lorenzo. 

Soho Farmhouse in Chipping Norton

Tucked away in 100 acres of farmland, our outpost in the quaint English countryside is the perfect hideaway if you want to lie low. Cycle around the grounds, wander through the wilderness, dive into the indoor-outdoor swimming pool, and sample the delicious fare from Pen Yen (the in-house izakaya restaurant) before returning to your Cabin for some well-earned rest. The House is currently hosting a three-month pop-up with innovative skincare brand, FaceGym. Book yourself in for a Cryo Contour workout and you’ll be glowing by the time you leave. 

Soho Beach House Miami

Our Miami outpost skirts the oceanfront of what’s been dubbed ‘mid-beach’, miles away from the city’s infamous party strip. The bedrooms look out over an expanse of glistening azure waters and white sand. Book a table at Cecconi’s and tuck into fresh burrata, heirloom tomatoes, stuffed aubergine, and feta-filled peppers. Burn it off the next day at one of the HIIT classes on the seafront.

Babington House in Somerset

This honey-coloured Georgian gem is located in the rolling Somerset countryside. Inside, it’s all dusty jewel tones, velvet, and hand-painted wallpaper. Pack your wellies and explore the local area, or cycle through the meadows on one of the House’s bikes. Afternoon tea in the Deli Bar is not to be missed (try the homemade scones that are piled high with fresh cream and jam). Nor is dinner in the elegant Orangery restaurant, where the menu champions the best of British produce. Then, walk it off in the House’s famous Walled Garden – if you visit in the spring, the air is sweet with the smell of roses.

Soho House Istanbul 

If you like your wellness with a side of opulence, you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere better than Soho House Istanbul. Set within the restored Palazzo Corpi, a white Italian-style mansion, the building is resplendent with Venetian frescoes, opulent marble floors, and plush Turkish interiors. Order a drink at the bar and watch the sun stretch over the Golden Horn waterway. Or, head to the hammam for a traditional 50-minute treatment involving a deep-tissue lavender massage and body scrub. For dinner? Feast like a king on mezze, falafel and Turkish delights in one of our ornate dining rooms.
