Discover our luxury treatments at our local business. Learn about our commitment to providing the best luxury treatments for our clients. The Sanctuary of Bindon Abbey Built on the hallowed grounds of a 12th-century Cistercian monastery, the stones of Bindon Abbey have witnessed centuries of quiet contemplation and spiritual renewal. The atmosphere here is thick with a legacy of peace that survives the passage of time. Today, this heritage of tranquility finds a new expression. We have meticulously preserved the abbey's architectural soul while infusing it with modern artisanal luxury and holistic care, creating a dialogue between ancient wisdom and contemporary comfort. Our transformation into a sanctuary marks a return to the abbey's original purpose: a place for individuals to seek balance, rest, and a profound connection to the self. We invite you to become part of this ongoing story of well-being and discovery. Coming Home to Bindon Abbey After 26 years as a therapist, I feel incredibly lucky and genuinely thrilled to be given the opportunity to return to the place where such a special chapter of my journey began. I first came to Bindon Abbey in 2011 and spent nearly nine wonderful years here, right through until 2020. Then, like so many businesses, everything changed when COVID arrived and we were forced into lockdown. Sadly, after the uncertainty of that time, I had to close the business and move on. For the past six years, I have continued my journey elsewhere, meeting wonderful people and creating many more special memories along the way. But, in all that time, I have never forgotten Bindon Abbey. So, to now have the opportunity to reopen my business here feels incredibly special. In many ways, it feels like coming home. There is something truly magical about this place. The energy is amazing, and there is such a beautiful sense of calm and peace as soon as you walk through the doors. I cannot wait to welcome you back into this wonderful space and continue doing what I love most — creating experiences that make people feel relaxed, cared for and truly special. From massages and facials to body treatments and nails, I am so excited to bring everything I love back to Bindon Abbey, alongside a fabulous team, including some familiar faces who have been part of the journey before. After 26 years in this industry, I still absolutely love what I do. I love being with people, I love making them feel good, and I love taking them away from the everyday for a little while and giving them an experience to remember. I feel so grateful for this second opportunity and cannot wait to welcome both old and new clients through the doors. Here’s to a new chapter, a familiar place, and coming home to Bindon Abbey.
