Tucked away in the scenic landscape of the New Forest, Careys Manor offers the ultimate winter escape, and its alcohol-free Clear Head Club Spa Break is perfect for anyone wanting to detox.

It’s designed to help you reset, recharge and feel genuinely refreshed – although booze is not banned, you can still order alcoholic drinks if you wish.

The package combines calming treatments with mindfulness activities, surrounded by peaceful forest views that make switching off easy.

The spa at Careys Manor

Attached to the hotel is SenSpa, a Thai-inspired sanctuary that feels like a complete break from everyday life. Its expansive hydrotherapy facilities are the true highlight – more than just your standard steam room and sauna, the spa offers relaxing amenities that focus on the mind as well as the body, such as a crystal steam room and a herbal sauna.

For a refreshing reset in between, try the experience showers, switching between warming “tropical rainfall” and detoxing “cold sea storm”. It’s a multisensory experience unlike any spa we’d experienced before.

Top treatment at SenSpa

Guests get a 30-minute treatment with the Clear Head Club package, and we opted for SenSpa’s Anti Stress Massage, the ideal remedy for anyone carrying tension in their back, neck and shoulders. Using targeted Swedish massage techniques, the therapist worked deeply yet considerately to release tight muscles and remove built-up knots.

It’s the kind of treatment where you feel yourself drift off into a relaxed state in just a few minutes, and come out feeling noticeably looser and lighter.

What else?

With three restaurants on site, you’re not short of delicious food options after your treatment. Choose from British classics at Cambium, authentic Thai cuisine at Zen Garden and French flavours of Le Blaireau.

If you’re craving some fresh air, the beautiful scenery of the New Forest is on your doorstep – perfect for a bit of forest therapy.
