(Image: Crossbasket Castle) A luxury castle just outside Glasgow is inviting guests to embrace tranquillity with a new series of wellness experiences, including sunrise yoga, guided meditation and ice baths. Crossbasket Castle, located around 20 minutes from the city, has expanded its offering following a £20 million redevelopment. The upgrade included the launch of an enhanced restaurant in partnership with Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr. Now, the historic venue is turning its attention to wellbeing, encouraging visitors to 'step away from the everyday' and reconnect with themselves, Glasgow Live reports. The new wellness series begins with two full-day retreats on Wednesday August 27 and Sunday September 21. Guests will be welcomed with herbal teas or a light spritz before embarking on a day designed to promote movement, mindfulness and rest. The morning sessions will feature guided journaling, breath awareness and gentle yoga, followed by yoga nidra, a deep relaxation practice. A light and nourishing lunch will be served at the castle's Foveran's restaurant, with dishes carefully chosen to complement the retreat's focus on balance and wellbeing.

The day will conclude with a meditative sound bath, designed to leave participants feeling calm and reflective. For those looking for a more immersive experience, Crossbasket Castle will host its first overnight wellness programme, Fire and Ice Luxury Wellness, from Thursday October 2 to Friday October 3. The overnight stay will begin with a welcome to one of the castle's new bedrooms, complete with a curated hamper. Day one includes tailored yoga sessions and intention setting, followed by an evening of guided meditation, breathwork and a Release and Let Go fire pit ceremony. Guests will then enjoy herbal teas and healthy bedtime snacks in the Stewart Room to promote a restful night's sleep. The following morning will open with an energising sunrise yoga session before guests are guided through Wim Hof breathwork and an invigorating ice bath. All activities will be led by experienced and qualified instructors. Throughout the retreat, nourishing menus crafted by the executive chef will aim to support gentle detox and renewal. Prices start from £95 per person for the one-day retreats, with the overnight package from £395 based on two sharing. In addition to its wellness events, Crossbasket Castle will also host its third creative art workshop on Thursday 23 October. The Handmade Journals workshop, led by therapeutic artist Kim Flower, offers participants the chance to craft and sew their own personalised art journals.
