Full Moon Escapes

Align with nature and the lunar rhythm at Westerlands

There’s something uniquely restorative about spending time outdoors under a full moon in the quiet of a Dark Sky Reserve such as Westerlands. Surrounded by darkness far from city lights, your senses awaken to the subtle rhythms of the night. Gazing at the stars and the moon, you connect with the cosmos in a way that calms the mind and restores perspective.

Paired with a WildSpa session, the experience transforms into a lasting memory of tranquility that you carry with you long after the night ends.

Moonlit WildSpa

Book an exclusive one hour night-time session at our WildSpa sauna and plunge for up to 6 people when you stay at Westerlands during a full moon.

Settle into the sauna’s welcoming heat and watch the full moon bathe the South Downs landscape in its silvery light. Step outside into the cool air and immerse yourself in the spring-fed plunge pool, cleansing and purifying in an ancient ritual of renewal. Recline on loungers in the seclusion of the WildSpa’s private garden and gaze up at wide open skies, where a canopy of stars soothes the mind.

Dark Sky Reserve

At Westerlands, within the South Downs International Dark Sky Reserve, one of only seven in the UK, you can experience skies largely free from light pollution. On clear nights, this means dazzling views of stars, meteor showers, and the glow of the full moon rising over the landscape. Of course, the weather is beyond our control, but when the clouds part, the night sky here is truly unforgettable.

Lunar Library

The night sky has guided people for centuries, shaping traditions, stories, and the rhythm of the seasons. In our collection of articles, you’re invited to explore the history and symbolism of each full moon, along with the wonder of meteor showers and other celestial events, and discover their lasting connection to the natural world.
