Winter on Tresco
Time to be immersed in the wilds of an island winter. In the kaleidoscopic colour of the Abbey Garden and the warmth of the winter sun. In the occasional storm, and its seaspray-slinging, breezy buffeting drama. In the glow of The New Inn at the heart of an island winter...

Christmas Breaks on Tresco

Open this winter
Tresco offers a wonderfully wild and peaceful escape during the winter months - a time when the island slows down, and some places rest in hibernation or open on reduced hours...
Tresco Island Spa
Relax and rejuvenate in our indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and fully equipped gym, or indulge in soothing spa therapies - open daily.
The New Inn
This winter, escape to The New Inn, open Thursday to Sunday for hearty island meals, local drinks, and a cosy fireside welcome. Closed midweek.
Tresco Stores
Our island provisioners, open Monday to Saturday, offering everything from everyday essentials to hand-picked gourmet delights.
Tresco Abbey Garden
Midwinter is far from bleak in our island garden, open daily and ablaze with colour, from vibrant aloes to delicate camellias and proteas, with hundreds of plants in bloom.
Winter Boating
Aside from transfers, we typically run just a couple of trips to St Mary’s each week, with no regular boating to the other islands. In recent years, we’ve been lucky to have whales join us in the archipelago over winter. If they make another appearance, watch for our special Wildlife trips!
In hibernation...
The Ruin Beach Café, Gallery Tresco, Flying Boat Café, Garden Café, Lucy-Tania Boutique and Sea Garden Pool are all closed for the winter
