Pause with purpose: introducing the GAIA MenoPAUSE Break

There are seasons in life that ask for a gentler pace. The new GAIA MenoPAUSE Break at Gaia Spa in Boringdon Hall is a luxurious two-night spa break in Devon, created to help you feel cared for as you move through the physical, emotional and lifestyle shifts of perimenopause and menopause.

Menopause can be an intense chapter to carry alongside everyday life, especially when sleep is interrupted, your energy is unpredictable, or you simply don’t feel quite like you. A GAIA MenoPAUSE Break is designed to help you step out of ‘push through’ mode, feel supported, and reconnect with yourself.

From unhurried mornings to deeply restful nights, everything is set up to make slowing down feel easy: time in our adults-only Gaia Spa, grounding wellbeing classes, a nurturing GAIA treatment, and MICHELIN Star dining.

Settle into Gaia Spa

Set within the peaceful grounds of Boringdon Hall Hotel near Plymouth, Gaia Spa offers a quietly restorative place to reset in the Devon countryside, close to the edge of Dartmoor.

Throughout your stay, enjoy complimentary membership to Gaia Spa, along with a gentle timetable of wellbeing classes such as yoga and meditation (pre-booking essential) to help you feel grounded and replenished. When it’s time to unwind in the spa facilities, move at your own rhythm between the heated pool, hydrotherapy pool, heat experiences and relaxation spaces.

At the heart of the break is a deeply nurturing ritual created to comfort and rebalance. Your 90-minute GAIA MenoPAUSE treatment begins with a soothing back, neck and shoulder massage, followed by a balancing foot massage, and finishes with a cooling Jade facial to calm hormonally sensitive skin, leaving you feeling restored and refreshed.

A stay made for deeper sleep

On your two-night escape, stay in a serene Wellness Room within the newest wing of Boringdon Hall, a timelessly elegant 16th-century Elizabethan manor house. Naturally styled in soft tones and textures, a Wellness Room is designed to help you truly switch off. For extra comfort, your bed will be dressed in hypoallergenic, breathable Panda London bamboo bedding before you arrive, supporting a cooler, more restful night’s sleep.

You’ll also take home a carefully curated MenoPAUSE Support Set (worth £280), bringing the break’s sense of support into everyday life. It includes a selection of wellness and hormone-supporting essentials from like-minded brands, alongside a GAIA sleep product and a Panda London bamboo sleep mask, providing small, thoughtful touches to help you continue your routine at home.

Evenings to savour

On your GAIA MenoPAUSE Break, evenings are designed to feel as restorative as your spa time. Enjoy a four-course dinner at the MICHELIN‑Starred, 4 AA Rosette Àclèaf restaurant, and a three-course dinner at the Mayflower Brasserie. Each menu celebrates seasonal ingredients, thoughtfully crafted and served in warm, welcoming surroundings, so you can end the day feeling nourished in every sense.

Each morning begins with breakfast in the Mayflower Brasserie, or, if you’d prefer, in the Spatisserie at Gaia Spa.

If you’re craving a little comfort during this time of change, the GAIA MenoPAUSE Break offers space to pause, wrapped in the calm of the Devon countryside and the quiet luxury of Boringdon Hall.

Spend a few days dedicated to soothing your body inside and out.
