Spring is all about renewal. It’s a magical time when nature rolls back the covers of winter and emerges refreshed and rejuvenated with a new vibrancy. We’ve channeled some of this natural energy into therapies, treatments and programs that will reinvigorate you as you take on the every-day challenges that life throws your way.

If you are yearning for a dose of the sunshine vitamin, Six Senses Spa Elounda on the Greek island of Crete is the destination to replenish your reserves. We’ve put together a program of outdoor activities particularly suited to optimizing your levels of vitamin D.

With shorter nights on the way, make the most of them by improving your sleep quality. Who better to ask for advice than our world renowned Sleep Doctor, Michael Breus, who headed up the two-year planning and preparation for the recently-launched Sleep With Six Senses? Follow his top five tips for better zzz’s, which actually start in the morning, with a quick 15-minute blast outside to kick-start your routine in the best way.

On an energetic level, spring is the time for cleansing. In the Chinese system, it is linked with the element wood, which encourages us to try new things. So even if detox has been on your to-do list for ages, but you’ve never tried it before, now could be the perfect time. Our popular Six Senses Yogic Detox is now offered by many spas, which we have listed for you together with some practical steps from our Yoga Master, Dorelal Singh. There are also some easy-to-follow tips from our Mind & Body Specialist, Toby Maguire, on ways to spring clean your mind of unwanted junk.

And of course it wouldn’t be springtime without a selection of special offers – in this issue you can choose from France, Mykonos and the ecological jewel of Seychelles, the beautiful island of Félicité.
