We’re ditching resolutions (and You Can Too)

Let's be honest, resolutions often last a week. There we've said it!

A Highland Reset lasts much longer and is far more enjoyable! Swap the “new year, new you” noise for something calmer, more real, and way more fun. Discover how a break in the Scottish Highlands at the start of the year can genuinely change your year for the better!

Reset in nature

If you need headspace to start the year as you mean to go on, our destination delivers it on a plate. 

Fresh air, peaceful trails, all the nature, and views that do half the work for you. 

Find your perfect nature-led reset with local guides, walks and outdoor experiences.

No new gym membership, less treadmills, and more trails and Highland scenery!

Spa days and soul food

You don’t need juice cleanses to feel better, you just need some heart-warming Highland hospitality. 

Spa escapes and wild wellness sessions are seriously good food for the soul, especially in Winter. Explore wellness winter breaks and book yourself a winter treat.

Slow and steady

2026 is the year of slowing down, and the Highlands is made for it. Cosy stays, unrushed itineraries, and meaningful moments you’ll actually remember. With less crowds in the first months of the year you can take it slow, explore local communities, and enjoy not being in a rush.

Snowball fights count as exercise, right?

Take away the winter blues with coos!

It might not be a New Year resolution, but meeting a Highland coo definitely deserves a tick on your 2026 to-do list. With their shaggy fringes and calm, curious charm, they have a knack for lifting the winter blues and putting a smile on your face.

Coo's are not just for summer! They love you visiting them in the winter and spring too!

Resetting isn't just for January!

February is the month that asks a little less of you. The new year rush has gone, the year is still new, and there’s space to focus on the people who matter! Whether that’s a partner, close friends, or time just for yourself. 

It’s a chance to escape together, share good conversations, wander without an agenda, or simply slow down side by side. No resolutions to keep, no big gestures required, just meaningful moments with loved ones that make winter feel lighter.

Plan your February visit and let the year ease into place.

Take your reset into spring

Keep the new year reset feeling going. March in the Highlands is all about gentle energy, lighter days and experiences that set you up for spring. Enjoy local tours on foot or guided just for you, explore the local attractions whilst the crowds are still waiting for summer, keep your reset momentum going with spring plans to visit.

Find out what's on in January, February and March, that you simply cannot miss!
