<p>Part of the reason we&#8217;re keen for a return is to check out <a href="https://torspark.co/wellness/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wellness at Tors Park</a> which India, as Head of Concept Development, has spear-headed. India is a huge wellbeing fan herself, and her international travels as a model have given her a keen aesthetic, attracting the likes of model Jodie Kidd and designer Alice Temperley to Tors Park.</p>

<p>Inspired by the wellness movement of Ibiza, where India lives with her boyfriend and dog Ronnie, her vision is to create a space where guests can unwind, recharge, and connect with the North Devon coast and countryside. Sounds like our kinda stay! Time for a chat with India to find out more&#8230;</p>

<p>Lynmouth is still hugely undiscovered area of Devon, right on the Exmoor coast, with gorgeus riverside walks and where it&#8217;s easy to disconnect from the urban and reconnect with nature. It&#8217;s our goal (India works with her father Sam who owns Tors Park) to make Tors Park a destination for like-minded people to relax with family and friends, and to provide options not available elsewhere locally.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-s-new-at-tors-park-for-people-in-need-of-a-defrazzle">What&#8217;s new at Tors Park for people in need of a defrazzle?</h2>



<p>We&#8217;ve created an open deck with a heated stretch tent, where guests and non-residents can join a whole range of classes, such as yoga, sound healing and gong baths, while enjoying those incredible views and fresh coastal air. You can also take the plunge into an open-air, sunken ice bath and book yourself in for a treatment at Watersmeet Spa, a dedicated treatment room for massage and holistic therapies, which has woodland views and a cosy wood stove.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-book-us-in-does-it-not-get-cold-out-in-the-open-air">Book us in! Does it not get cold out in the open air?</h2>



<p>No, the stretch tent is all heated. You can fit about 60 people in there, doing a fitness class, or around 25 yoga mats, so there&#8217;s plenty of space which feels lovely all year round.  </p>

<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of yoga. I do an hour and a half of Ashtanga Yoga every day. I love it because it&#8217;s a very fixed routine with the same sequence of poses every time. It&#8217;s so good for body, mind and soul. </p>

<p>Ha! It was fun <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCYxl--u58E/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">making the reel</a>. Of course, it isn’t just a thrill &#8211; cold water therapy boosts circulation, reduces inflammation, and lifts mood. And you do get the reward of a hot sauna afterwards&#8230;</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve just moved in my new home in Ibiza with my boyfriend, who is a health and fitness coach, and our dog Ronnie. It needs a complete refurb, and the plan is for it to look very like the apartments at Tors Park &#8211; embracing the woodland vibe. I love North Devon so visit often, and my boyfriend will be running and curating retreats at Tors Park.</p>

<p>I like HIIT, and my new love is Reformer Pilates which I started a year ago and now do four times a week. It&#8217;s amazing! I also take my dog Ronnie for a walk every day, but we have to be out by 6.45am, otherwise it gets too hot for him.  It&#8217;s a lovely walk along the cliff edge, or we hike to a viewpoint where you can see practically see the whole of the island.</p>

<p>How about a wild swim in the sea at Lynmouth, or in the river? Or you can&#8217;t beat  a walk out along the clifftops of Valley of Rocks. The views are sensational. Stroll along Blacklands Beach, watch the boats bobbing in the harbour, or follow the signs for a wander along our breathtaking scenic trails, from the South West Coast Path to Tarka Trail. </p>
