Forget Blue Monday - Immerse Yourself in a Blue Mind Break

Start the year on a positive note with a Blue Mind escape. Scientists say being near water - whether watching waves lap the shore, strolling by a tranquil lake, or taking a refreshing dip - can soothe the mind, spark creativity, and lift your mood. Landal’s carefully chosen breaks put you close to nature’s most calming element, helping you recharge and reconnect.

From dramatic coastal vistas in Wales to serene lakesides in the Lake District and Yorkshire, these retreats combine stunning scenery with wellness-focused facilities so you can start the year feeling renewed.

Landal North Lakes, Aspatria, Lake District
Set within the iconic Lake District National Park, Landal North Lakes offers lakeside luxury with hot tubs overlooking the Fells. Here, water is everywhere - from nearby Lake Windermere to Ullswater - inviting kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, and scenic hikes along glimmering shores.

For anglers, the resort features an eight-acre carp fishing lake for exclusive guest use, where mornings can be spent casting lines and evenings relaxing in the comfort of your lodge.

Landal Twin Lakes, Carnforth, Lake District
Just six miles from Morecambe Bay, Landal Twin Lakes is a waterside retreat surrounded by mountains, woodland, and coastline. Each lodge offers a hot tub on the deck, ideal for soaking in panoramic lake views after a day spent fishing, walking, or exploring the surrounding landscape.

The lake itself is stocked with carp, pike, tench, roach, and perch, and guests can fish directly from their lodge decking (fishing licence and equipment required). With a setting that blends woodland tranquillity and open water, Twin Lakes provides a restorative escape for families, friends, and four-legged companions.

Landal Dylan Coastal Resort, Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales

Wellness is woven into every aspect of the resort. The Milk Wood House spa features herbal steam rooms, a tepidarium, hydrotherapy pools, and an indoor infinity pool, perfect for total relaxation. Morning yoga, meditation, or guided coastal walks connect you with the landscape, while evenings can be spent around fire pits on the sandy beach.
