“Hushpitality” is a trend that describes what many holidaymakers opt for in these stressed-out times: blessed peace and quiet!
The key to hushpitality is intention, so it’s not just about sleeping in a quiet room (as wonderful as that is). These retreats are bespoke-designed for tranquillity and connectedness all the time, in locations that exude calm: think an off-grid cabin surrounded by pure nature, or a converted haven in a chocolate-box rural village.
Here, your mind unwinds and de-clutters almost as if by magic, so you feel like your true self again. The very best hushpitality retreats make you forget all about logging on or signing in, as you simply revel in their glorious comfort and privacy. Maybe you’ll indulge in some mindfulness meditation, deep conversation, or just dip into that book you’ve been trying to read for what feels like a lifetime.
Feeling suitably inspired, we’ve chosen some of our favourite retreats for switching off and slowing down. Of course, each one offers its own unique sense of unusual-ness, and you’ll find them dotted all around the world for short stays and long holidays alike.
