About Relais Retreats

The Relais Retreats are there for our guests.

Our Mission

We are redefining a lifestyle for discerning travellers, through a new brand of English waterside escapes infused with a worldly point of view and located within two hours of London.

The Relais Retreats are there for our guests, like the familiar home of a cherished friend, offering hospitality, entertainment and nourishment for body and soul. Places to unwind, relax and indulge your senses. Telling the stories of our locations, elevating nostalgic Englishness with a well-travelled mindset.

Our waterside retreats will redefine the easy restorative escape, setting the scene for new traditions and stories yet to be told.

The Relais vision is to create a new style of living, defined through a curated collection of retreats in evocative waterside settings.
