A Relaxing Retreat at Marine Hotel Troon

A Relaxing Retreat at Marine Hotel Troon

Rachel Amery stays here for an adventure weekend at the end of November, and I am a little embarrassed to admit this was my first time visiting Troon - but it certainly will not be my last.

The hotel is already well-known for its delicious food, outstanding views overlooking the Firth of Clyde and its stellar leisure facilities - in fact, some of the other guests I spoke to in the pool said the leisure centre is what keeps them coming back.

However in the New Year the hotel will start offering carefully curated retreats with specialised itineraries for guests.

My weekend was one such retreat - an adventure weekend hosted by Sophie Hellyer, an influencer who specialises in cold water swimming, surfing and yoga.

This retreat was all about “boosting mental clarity and reducing stress”, with activities such as cold water dips on Troon Beach, restorative and vinyasa yoga, and breathwork classes, all with a focus on mental and physical wellness and reducing stress.
