Day 1: Arrival & Relaxed Beginnings

Morning – Settle In

Check into a cozy inn in New Hope or along the Delaware River. Porches on the Towpath Bed & Breakfast features tranquil gardens and a lovely gazebo. Delight in magical river views at Black Bass Hotel, one of the oldest inns in the country. At Pineapple Hill Inn Bed & Breakfast, swim in a beautiful in-ground pool surrounded by an old barn foundation. Bridgeton House provides riverfront luxury for those seeking a more upscale stay.

Midday – Healing Retreats & Wellness

Bucks County is home to a diverse selection of wellness spas. Southampton Spa, one of only 10 Turkish baths in the United States, provides comfort, relaxation, and detoxification. At Relax: Float Spa in Doylestown, the sensory-deprivation tanks let you drift in salt-infused water and unwind completely. 

For those drawn to halotherapy, The Salt Cave in Newtown provides dry-salt therapy, massages, facials, and occasional sound-bath events. If you’re looking for a more traditional spa approach, Radiance Spa in Jamison is known for its skilled technicians and consistently above-and-beyond service.

Not in the mood for a spa day? Create your own retreat-style experience instead at Rocking Horse Acres in Pipersville, Copper House Events in Riegelsville, or Honey Hollow Farm in New Hope.

Afternoon – Yoga & Movement

Take a yoga class at Yogamazia, a studio located in Richboro focused on mindfulness and movement, or try a stand-up paddleboard session in Ottsville with Miss Melanie Yoga, a woman-owned, family-run business dedicated to providing participants with the skills and guidance needed for the best possible paddleboarding experience.

Round out the afternoon with a walk or bike ride along the Delaware Canal Towpath to take in riverside views and historic remains.

Evening – Dinner & Wind Down

Nourish your body with a healthy dinner at Moku Bowls in Peddler’s Village, known for using fresh ingredients to bring the tastes of Hawaii to Bucks County.

While in the village, enjoy a pleasant evening stroll among the shops and visit Greenology Organic Living, which specializes in sustainable lifestyle goods, planted arrangements, and eco-friendly home and body products, or Journeys Spirited Gifts, where calming music accompanies a selection of crystals, jewelry, books, and other spiritual or inspiring items.
