Sole Dream Holidays is over the moon to create this very special luxury retreat in showstopping Scotland, May 25-31, 2025. Between the opulent castles, heavenly hills, rugged terrain of the Highlands and mystical history, you can understand why Sole Yoga Holidays chose to create this new holiday! Our retreat takes place at a 4/5-star country inn along the scenic coastline in the charming town of Gullane. Our location was developed by an award-winning restaurateur couple and of course this means we will also dine on some of the best nibbles around!
A gorgeous, sandy beach is within walking distance as well as a coastal and biking path and nearby towns filled with local shops and pubs.
We will of course head to nearby Edinburgh for a private tour to experience historical and cultural highlights from a local, passionate guide. And one day, we will head out early for a magnificent private tour of dramatic landscapes and grandiose castles in West Highlands.
What a truly spectacular way to experience sensational Scotland!

ACCOMMODATIONS + MEALS

The charming rooms are individually designed with inspiration from local Scottish suppliers – custom-designed beautiful wallpaper by artist Mairi Helena, luxurious bedding by North Berwick-based Laura Thomas and all-natural Siabann bath products.
The Deluxe rooms are situated in the main house or in the cottages next to the garden. They feature a King size bed or Twin beds.
The bathrooms are spacious and include everything you need for your special vacation such as local toiletries, plush robes, towels and hairdryers.
Each room has tea/coffee facilities, wifi, flat screen satellite TV’s, heated floors and a safe.
NOTE: more information on accommodations & locations upon request

A delicious, 2-course breakfast is included daily at our wonderful location. Get ready for locally sourced cheese, smoked fish, fruit, home-baked bread and pastries – and that’s just the first course. Then, we’ll enjoy eggs, bacon, sausages or the full Scottish, which comes with a tattie scone. This will be our daily post-yoga yumminess.
Three dinners (Our Welcome, Farewell and a special dinner in the local town) are included as part of the package.
The other evenings we can dine at our award-winning location or explore special spots nearby for local specialties and maybe a glass of whisky. There will be many wonderful options!
As always, Sole Dream Holidays has left our dining option a little more flexible so everyone can experience something new the other nights. Our on-site concierge can assist with any dining plans and reservations.

YOGA + ACTIVITIES

All lessons will be led by Sole Dream Holidays Founder, Shari Hochberg.
1-2 daily vinyasa yoga/pliates core or restorative sessions will be practiced in a rented space as Scottish weather is unpredicatable! But, should the sun miraculously come out, we can walk to the beach or park for an outdoor session.
Shari will revise the practice according to the needs of the guests. Every level is welcome from the very beginner to the more advanced practitioner.

One day we will head to Edinburgh for a half-day tour exploring the famous Royal Mile and other historical sites by a local.
The guided 3-hour tour will take us to remarkable landmarks, monuments and cathedrals. It is the perfect introduction to understanding this fascinating city

Another day we will depart our location early for a magical experience of dramatic landscapes and majestic castles on a full-day, private trip through West Highlands. We will soak up stunning scenery from the rugged Breadalbane Mountains to The Trossachs National Park. We will explore the villages of Luss and Inveraray, and hear tales of famous Scottish heroes and rebels. It will be such an incredible journey!
