We are inviting readers to share their most cherished wellness experiences across the UK and Europe for the chance to win a £200 voucher. Whether your idea of rejuvenation involves immersing yourself in forest bathing, taking a dip in a beach sauna, practising mindful walking, meditating among trees, or exploring a traditional hammam or thermal bath, we want to hear about it.
Wellness retreats need not involve expensive spa resorts or luxury hotel stays. Countless accessible and budget-friendly alternatives exist for those seeking to step away from daily pressures and restore their sense of balance. As we have previously explored, affordable wellness options range from free community yoga sessions to gardening and outdoor running, demonstrating that meaningful self-care does not require substantial financial investment.
The winning submission, selected by our judges, will receive a £200 voucher redeemable towards accommodation at a Coolstays property. The company operates more than 3,000 properties globally, offering diverse options for wellness-focused travellers.
How to enter and what we're looking for
Submissions should be kept to approximately 100 words and focus on your personal experience and recommendation. If you have a relevant photograph to accompany your entry, please include it, though the quality of your written description will form the basis of the judging process. The maximum file size for images is 5.7 megabytes.
The most compelling tips will be featured in the Travel section of our publication and on our website. This is an opportunity to inspire other readers with your discoveries and share knowledge of wellness experiences that may have transformed your approach to self-care.
Eligibility and deadline
This competition is open exclusively to residents of the United Kingdom. The closing date for entries is Monday 28 September at 10am BST. Entrants must review the terms of service and privacy policy before submitting their tip through the online form provided.
If you encounter any technical difficulties with the submission form, alternative methods of entry are available. For those seeking inspiration, readers have previously shared their favourite hidden European destinations and culinary discoveries, which demonstrate the wealth of authentic wellness and travel experiences available beyond mainstream tourist routes.
