A more analogue type of vacation at a new retreat. 

Created by Kiwi Michelin Star Chef Toby Stuart and his wife Sabina Bronicka-Stuart, ‘Slow Stay’ is a luxury retreat over the Abel Tasman. 

The idea is to switch off technology and relax, recuperate, recharge, and reconnect with one another and the world around us.  

It’s tapping into the global wellness tourism market, which is projected to hit US$2.1 trillion by 2030 – growing at 12% per year. 

Stuart told Mike Hosking that while it’s not cheap, there is value for money. 

Some of the things included are dinner, breakfast, yoga classes, and wellness facilities, and he says it’s up to guests whether they want to embrace the wellness elements or embrace a bit of indulgence.
