International Relaxation Day: The Most Chilled Out Experiences
15 August 2025

One of our most anticipated days of the year – International Relaxation Day – is almost here. It's a great excuse to slow down and forget about the stresses and strains of modern life.
And, of course, there are many benefits to relaxing, such as increased energy levels, reduced muscle tension and enhanced self-confidence.
In honour of the day today, 15th August, we've taken a leisurely look at our best laid-back experiences. You'll be so relaxed by the end of these experiences that you'll practically be asleep!
River Cruises
There's something very tranquil about the sound of lapping water, and when you throw into the mix that these river cruises take place in some of the most beautiful locations in the UK, then you have an enchanting combination.
The moment you step aboard the boat, your cares will evaporate, and you'll quickly be immersed in life on the water.
Take time to sit down and breathe it all in, most likely with friends or family, that will help make the experience complete.
From London to Oxford to Poole, and beyond, let Experiences UK be your captain and help you navigate a passage to total relaxation.
Spa Breaks
Being pampered is one of life's pleasures, after all, who can say no to a massage?
Our spa breaks provide everything you could possibly want to enjoy on International Relaxation Day, or on any other day of the year.
Whether it's with breakfast or lunch included, aromatherapy, hot stones, beauty treatments or facials, we've got you covered.
And because everybody deserves to relax now and again, we've made sure our spa break venues are easily accessible, with locations across the country, so there really is no excuse not to spoil yourself!
Fine Dining
Great food, great company and great conversation is the perfect recipe for chilling out.
With Experiences UK you can tempt your taste buds with some of the best culinary delights, while soaking in luxurious surroundings.
From three course Sunday lunches, afternoon teas, sushi, Asian tapas, tasting menus to garden lunches, which cuisine is the one to whisk you away to another world?
Wine tasting with lunch is also on the menu, if that's what you fancy, with a glass of chilled sparkling wine on arrival.
Short Breaks
Escaping for a few days on a short break is the ideal way to recharge the batteries, even if it's in the hustle and bustle of London.
Our short breaks range from Scotland to Paris, from getting behind the wheel of a classic car through to travelling on Eurostar.
You can choose from one or two nights and can even include some activities like quad biking. However, we've probably saved the best to last, a yoga forest bathing experience. If that doesn't tick all the relaxation boxes, then nothing will!
Tranquil times
These are some of our most soothing experiences, and we hope just by learning about them that you feel a bit calmer.
So, for peace, chilling, relaxing and unwinding, let Experiences UK guide you to a world of serenity.
