Whether you fancy a light-hearted lunch break or an all-day movie marathon. Building a den is the perfect way of spending some quality time, relieving the stress and eating all the snacks.

Create a zen zone and feel the relaxation as you and your partner prepare to pamper each other. With our retreats and romantic getaways put on pause, come together and sink into the spa experience in the comfort of your own home. Free treatments? What’s not to love.
Cocktail tasting
Let your hair down and loosen up this lockdown. Get giggly and giddy with your partner in crime as you savour the flavour of your favourite cocktails. Feel free to switch it up with non-alcoholic mocktails, gin or a tipple of your choice. Don’t forget to prepare the paracetamol, this may leave you both with a sore head.
