Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa, New Forest
Tucked away in the heart of the New Forest National Park, Careys Manor is a true escape to nature. Surrounded by ancient woodland, open heathland and meandering trails, it’s the perfect base for walking holidays — or just a restorative weekend outdoors.
Guests can explore a variety of routes, from gentle circular paths past wild ponies and peaceful streams to longer hikes through sun-dappled glades and blooming wildflower meadows. For keen walkers, the nearby Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst routes offer stunning views and a chance to spot local wildlife.
After a day of exploring, return to the hotel to unwind at the award-winning SenSpa, a Thai-inspired sanctuary offering everything from hydrotherapy pools to indulgent massages and holistic treatments. Dining is also a highlight, with three onsite restaurants serving seasonal, locally sourced produce — perfect for refuelling after a day on your feet.
The Club Hotel & Spa, Jersey
For coastal walkers, it doesn’t get much better than Jersey — and The Club Hotel & Spa makes the ideal base for a luxury walking escape. Just a short stroll from the island’s picturesque south coast, this chic boutique hotel is within easy reach of some of the island’s most scenic trails.
Start your morning with a breezy walk along the cliff paths of St Brelade’s Bay, or explore the rugged coastal tracks and golden sands of Portelet and Beauport. Inland, tranquil country lanes and hidden valleys offer a peaceful change of pace.
Back at the hotel, guests can take a dip in the rooftop saltwater pool, recharge in the intimate spa, or enjoy an unforgettable dining experience at the Michelin-starred Bohemia, known for its innovative tasting menus and sleek surroundings.
London Marriott Hotel Park Lane, London
Who says city breaks can’t include a bit of greenery? At London Marriott Hotel Park Lane, you’re just steps from the peaceful, leafy expanse of Hyde Park — making it the perfect choice for travellers who want both cultural buzz and open-air calm.
Enjoy a morning stroll through the park’s Rose Garden, or take a longer walk around the Serpentine, where you’ll find art installations, boat hire and a café for lakeside coffees. For something a little more energetic, the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Walk offers a beautifully mapped route past historic landmarks.
Afterwards, retreat to the hotel’s elegant spa for a swim or massage, then indulge in seasonal British cuisine at Lanes of London, with views over one of the capital’s most iconic boulevards. It’s a refreshing reminder that even in the heart of the city, nature is never far away.
In Summary
Whether you’re after woodland wanders, dramatic sea views, or urban serenity, these luxurious hotels offer more than just a place to stay — they offer a chance to stretch your legs, clear your head, and experience your surroundings at walking pace, without ever compromising on comfort.
