Unwind in your own outdoor tub

To me, nothing says ‘wellness’ like a good bath – and the bathing experience at St Michaels really takes some beating. Our copper bath sat outside our room in a spot that offered total privacy while exposing you to all the sounds of the sea. About eight times over the two days, we poured coconut bubble bath into the copper tub and relaxed to the sounds of birds chirping in the trees overhead and waves crashing beneath us. The bath is so generous that two can easily fit, even when one of us is 6ft 4in and the other is more voluminous than ever. I’d honestly visit again just for the bath.

Bring a slice of Cornish wellness home

It’s probably not surprising given how outdoorsy everyone seems to be in Falmouth that Cornwall is something of a wellness hotspot – and the hotel is great at showcasing local products. From the heavenly diffuser in our bathroom from St Eval, a company born in North Cornwall, all the locally sourced grub in the restaurants and the Mum To Be collection of heavenly skincare goodies from local B Corp Made For Life Organics, there’s a real pride in the area’s attention to healthy bodies and minds. I took a bunch of Cornish treasures home, and now my bathroom is full of relaxing smells and ointments ready to see out the final weeks of this pregnancy.

Far-flung beaches, sun and the best bath in the world – why this babymoon in a luxury Cornish wellness hotel beats going abroad any day
