SPA & WELLNESS:
Boost your summer self-care routine
12th May 2025
Summer is almost here — with longer days, better weather (hopefully!) and an optimism for what’s to come. While many of us set goals and intentions in January, it’s common for those good habits to fade as the year progresses. But summer offers a chance to slow down, reflect, and re-centre — and it might just be the best season to reinvigorate your wellbeing.
Here are a few easy ways to bring more balance, energy, and joy into your summer self-care routine.
Connect with the outdoors
Being outside does wonders for our mental health and what better excuse than when the sun is shining! Whatever gets you outside, whether it be a walk in the countryside or a picnic at the park, embrace the chance to connect with nature.
Eat and drink with the season
What comes to mind when you think of summer food and drink? Fresh, juicy strawberries? Deliciously creamy ice cream? A crisp gin and tonic? Eating fresh dishes full of seasonal ingredients that are at peak ripeness and full of flavour will leave you nothing short of satisfied.
Take time out at the spa
Few things say “self-care” like a bit of pampering. A spa day – or even just a morning to unwind in a sauna or steam room – can help reset your energy and prepare you for a season of socialising, exploring, or simply taking life at a slower pace.
Seek advice from wellness experts
If you’re looking to go deeper with your self-care this summer, a wellness retreat, lead by experts in the art of wellness, might be just the thing. These breaks offer the chance to unplug from daily life and immerse yourself in practices like yoga, mindfulness, Pilates, or meditation — all within peaceful surroundings and in the company of like-minded people.
Connect with others
It’s no secret that us humans are social beings and thrive off human contact. The summer months can be the time to fill up your social calendar and make the most of the better weather, perhaps by inviting friends over for dinner or taking up a new hobby you've been meaning to try.
Make this summer your most relaxed yet
However you choose to care for yourself this season – with fresh food, fresh air, or simply some well-earned rest – remember that summer is for enjoying the little moments.
