Experience the Great Spring Reset on the Moray Coast
As the days stretch out and the first hint of spring air reaches the Moray Coast, something shifts. Between the bustling streets of Inverness and the quiet, sandy reaches of Lossiemouth, the landscape begins its own "Great Spring Reset." This March, we are inviting you to skip the traditional, often exclusive holiday tropes and instead embrace a season of renewal designed for everyone - especially solo travellers and those seeking a moment of genuine "Blue Space" for their mental wellbeing.
The Power of "Blue Health"
Research increasingly highlights the profound impact of "blue spaces" - coastal and water environments - on our mental health. Exposure to these settings is linked to reduced stress, improved mood, and a sense of psychological recovery. Spending just 120 minutes a week in nature can significantly boost your wellbeing. Along the Moray Coast, the rhythmic pull of the tide and the expansive horizons provide the perfect backdrop for this natural therapy.
