But one thing it is perhaps less well known for is yoga.
However now a Jersey business, which offers short yoga and surf retreats at Kempt Tower in St Ouen’s Bay (pictured), has been listed by a national newspaper as one of the top places in the world for fans of both sports.
The Metro have chosen Drift Retreat as its best ‘short on time option’ for those seeking a yoga and surf-filled break. It is joined in the list of nine locations by retreats in places such as Morocco, Bali, Sri Lanka and Nicaragua.
The article reads: ‘Not got much time off? Can’t go far? How about a wellness weekend in the Channel Islands?
‘Drift Retreat offer a number of long weekend retreats throughout the year, based in the beautiful Kempt Tower. All food is included and with dishes like zucchini noodles with pesto, halloumi, cherry tomatoes and basil, and vegan banana ice-cream with raw chocolate on the menu, you’ll be going to bed with a happy tum and a happy heart.’
