Take a boat trip to the magical Isle of May

During your visit you'll see puffins waddling along grassy clifftops, flying out of underground burrows only metres from your feet, skimming over the waves and standing on watch on the roof of an abandoned World War II concrete bunker. Choose from a leisurely boat trip on the May Princess or speed across the waves in the Osprey or Osprey II ribs. It makes for a great day out.
Enjoy a wellness retreat in the East Neuk
Perched on the dunes at Elie Harbour, in the charming East Neuk of Fife, Elie Seaside Sauna provides a restful escape from the stresses and strains of the digital world. Angled towards the setting sun, its full-length, heat-tempered, glass side overlooks the marram grass of the dunes, out, over Woodhaven Bay, to Elie Beach and the cliffs beyond. It is the perfect recipe for wellness.
Being off-grid and away from screens and through the slowing down of breathing and muscle relaxation, the heart rate reduces, and the mind relaxes. So why not let go of stress, sit back and enjoy this unique experience in the most beautiful setting with incredible views.
