Lancemore Hotels & Orans Wellness Invite Travellers to Embrace The Slow Season
Wellness Tourism's Next Chapter has arrived with Lancemore x Oran's Wellness as they Launch Sauna Retreats at Lindenderry & Milawa.
Lancemore Hotels warmly welcomes travellers to embrace the luxury of slowing down with the launch of The Slow Season – a new wellness-led offering created in partnership with Orans Wellness, designed around restorative rituals, vineyard landscapes and moments of pause.
Available at Lancemore Milawa in Victoria's High Country and Lindenderry Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula, The Slow Season introduces a new outdoor sauna experience, offering guests the opportunity to reconnect with nature and immerse themselves in the restorative benefits of heat therapy amidst some of Victoria's most picturesque wine regions.
This grounding outdoor experience features premium saunas by Orans, a Melbourne-based brand known for its design-led approach to wellbeing, combining contemporary craftsmanship with evidence-based wellness.
Defined by its carbonised walnut finishes, premium cedar linings and architectural-grade detailing, the Orans saunas complement the natural beauty and understated luxury of both Lancemore properties, taking guests on a journey of intention to unwind, disconnect and be present.
To celebrate the launch, guests who experience The Slow Season sauna at either Lancemore Milawa or Lindenderry Red Hill during their stay will automatically go into the draw to win an Orans sauna. The prize offers one guest the opportunity to continue the ritual of slowing down long after their regional escape has come to an end.
"Through our partnership with Lancemore, we've created spaces that encourage guests to embrace stillness and experience the restorative benefits of heat therapy within some of Victoria's most beautiful landscapes," said Sonia Rendigs, Communications & Partnerships, Orans Wellness. "These are places where slowing down already feels natural."
"The Slow Season reflects how people increasingly want to travel – with less agenda and more presence," said Stephen Moore, COO of Lancemore Hotels. "Milawa and Lindenderry Red Hill have always offered the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect and savour the simple pleasures of a regional escape. This partnership with Orans adds another layer to that experience, inviting guests to embrace wellness in a way that feels effortless and restorative."
Whether it's a sunrise sauna overlooking the vineyards of Milawa, an afternoon spent exploring the charm of Red Hill, or an evening beside a crackling fire after a day of indulgent dining, The Slow Season reflects a growing movement towards slower, more mindful travel experiences.
For guests looking to extend their regional escape, Lancemore's seasonal Embers & Wine package offers the perfect complement to The Slow Season. Available when booking direct at Lancemore Milawa and Lindenderry Red Hill, the package pairs complimentary sauna access with overnight accommodation, daily breakfast, mulled wine and s'mores for two, late checkout, and an exclusive Stay 3 Nights, Pay 2 offer, inviting guests to embrace the season's slower rhythm.
The Slow Season is available exclusively to guests who book directly with Lancemore Hotels at Lancemore Milawa and Lindenderry Red Hill, with complimentary sauna access included as part of their stay.
