Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, one of the UK’s most successful independent hospitality groups, has introduced a new initiative designed to help guests enjoy their best night’s sleep.
Launching on World Sleep Day (14 March), the new Sleep Retreat Essential Spa Break for Two is tailored to ensure a quality night’s sleep, recognising the importance that switching off and relaxing has on overall health.
With British and international traveller alike now placing greater emphasis on rest to improve their wellness, ‘sleep tourism’ has become one of the industry’s most notable trends in recent years.
To help guests unwind and achieve solid night’s sleep, Macdonald Hotels’ limited break, available only until 31 May, includes an expertly tailored 25-minute ishga spa treatment per guest, full use of spa facilities, evening meal, luxury accommodation and a hearty breakfast.
The break will also provide access to the immersive sound treatment app from ishga – a Scottish seaweed skincare brand - which uses field recordings, traditional instruments and therapeutic sound techniques to aid relaxation and transport listeners to the Outer Hebrides.
Guests will then enjoy an in-room ‘wind down’ aromatherapy gift from ishga with lavender bath salts and body oil designed to support deep sleep and reduce stress. Derived from the Gaelic word for water, ishga harnesses the pure, clean waters of the Hebridean islands to create an organic skincare range like no other. Hand-harvested seaweed forms the essence of the brand’s products, offering natural antioxidants that transform and protect skin.
Complimentary chamomile tea will also be placed in each room as part of guests’ wind-down experience.
Macdonald Hotels & Resorts’ Sleep Retreat Break is available to book now at all 16 spa properties across the group’s portfolio, including Craxton Wood Hotel & Spa, a relaxing oasis in Cheshire, and the four-star Macdonald Inchyra in Falkirk.
Macdonald Hotels & Resorts said: “The theme for World Sleep Day 2025 is ‘make sleep health a priority’, and we couldn’t agree more. The benefits of a good night’s sleep can’t be underestimated, and at Macdonald Hotels & Resorts we pride ourselves on guest comfort. Our partnership with ishga to launch our Sleep Retreat Breaks demonstrates how important it is to pause, relax and invest in your sleep health this spring.”
Macdonald Hotels & Resorts has a portfolio of upmarket hotels, spas and golf resorts throughout the UK, from Aviemore in north-east Scotland to the New Forest on the south coast of England.
Sleep Retreat Breaks are available to book now until 31 May 2025 priced at £190 based on two guests sharing a standard double or twin room.
