What it's like to truly relax! One of the most powerful arguments for buying a leisure lodge is for health and wellbeing, and there’s no better investment than one which supports and improves our health – both mentally and physically.
When it also creates a permanent escape route for family who may also be feeling stresses and strains in their everyday life, that’s an incredible gift to yourself and others that could be memorably life-changing.

A DIFFERENT WAY OF JUST BEING
The physical benefits may not always be obvious, but stress can be a big killer. During relaxation the mind is relieved of the duties of controlling the body’s activities consciously, and the ‘fight or flight’ stress response is off. Other senses will become more alert and that opens the way for so much more. The mind gains the ability to absorb and enjoy the deep yet subtle vibrations of nature, fed by the ear taking in more soft and serene environmental sounds.
When the body is soothed in this way, it releases tension and anxiety. The heartbeat may decrease, and the feeling of pain or injury may even decrease with it. Destructive emotions are released; replaced with calm and a feeling of self-nurturing which is almost a primal, basic human need.

The mistake we all often make is thinking that looking after ourselves is self-indulgent when, in many cases it’s absolutely necessary to make sure we are fit and well enough to cope with other areas of our lives.
How often do we take a tea or coffee break without any distractions at home though? Being away in a different setting can help tweak practices and habits in a way that re-sets the way we live. Away from home we may be more likely to put our phones down for a spell, close down emails, turn the TV or radio off and just sit with a cuppa peacefully. Deeper conversations might be enjoyed with family – or even a few lightweight moments full of happiness and laughter once everyone has wound down and relaxed a bit.

IMMERSING YOURSELF IN NATURE
Thankfully the nature of most parks today is that they are great green spaces, and spending time outside is great for physical and mental health. Relaxation isn’t always about sitting still – gentle exercise such as going on regular, short walks can help you relax too and will help maintain mobility and fitness. Of course, you can take this totally at your own pace, and it can become part of a daily ritual your body will appreciate, forming part of another new habit you can continue at home, if you choose to.

WHEN YOU’RE NOT THERE
You can still reap the benefits of your lodge even when you’re not in it. Just stepping away from your everyday stresses and strains can make you feel calmer and more relaxed quickly. The brain is one of our most powerful tools in staying well, and it will have stored the feeling of relaxation you achieved in your lodge in your memory bank. You can return back there meditatively just by shutting your eyes, taking a few moments to breathe in the feeling of being on your decking, with the sun on your face and the sounds of being in a green space all around you.

OUR LUXURY LODGES
Our luxury lodges are designed with a range of zones to relax in; from soothing tones in the bedrooms to reading and relaxation spots and casual spaces for a coffee and a catchup. They let plenty of light in, the air flow and ambient temperature is designed to be at optimum comfort levels whether it’s hot or cold outside, and there are little luxuries that add plenty of feel-good factors.
Casa Di Lusso Lodge
Practically they are easy to keep clean and maintain, have plenty of storage built in so you don’t have to pack extensively every time you go away – another major stress point avoided there! Of course, most are designed to open out onto decking, so there’s your potential to immerse yourself in nature within the lodge footprint – it’s all factored in.

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR YOU?
There is one common point which we hear time and time again from our customers; that they wished they’d bought earlier so they could have enjoyed the benefits earlier on – and our customers always know best! So, if you’re thinking of buying maybe that’s worth bearing in mind. Turning it from an aspirational dream into a firm reality could be the best investment you have made in your own health and wellbeing yet! Then it’s feet up, lean back and just enjoy being able to fully relax, to the max, like you’ve never relaxed before. We think you’ll thank yourself.
