New Nordic-inspired wellness pop-up to open on the Isle of Wight
A new Nordic-inspired wellness pop-up is set to open this summer on the Isle of Wight.
Slomo in Bembridge is the latest venture by Josie and Rob da Bank, situated at The Point.
It will operate Thursday to Sunday from 9am until 6pm throughout July and August.
The site will offer wood-fired saunas, a six-person ice bath, and a variety of wellbeing sessions including breathwork, yoga, and sound baths.
Josie and Rob said: "As soon as we saw The Point, we knew it was the perfect location for a spot of contrast therapy.
"Wonderful sea views and wild swimming opportunities, a lovely flat piece of land for our saunas and trademark six-person ice bath, and right next to beautiful Bembridge with all its fantastic cafés, shops, and community vibes.
"To open a second space on the Isle of Wight makes a lot of sense to us as adopted islanders and lovers of all things seaside."

This new location is part of Slomo's larger 'Next Generation Wellbeing' initiative, which will see sites pop up across the south of the UK.
Slomo aims to combine Nordic wellbeing principles with relaxation and music, focusing heavily on community and family wellbeing.
The venture offers retreats and meditation courses alongside their existing contrast therapy options.
Slomo's summer line-up also includes the inaugural Slomo Wellbeing Festival at Camp Bestival 2025, which is set to be the first of its kind.
At the Slomo Wellbeing Festival, Josie and Rob will host workshops covering breathwork, yoga, sound baths, dance and alternative therapies.
Slomo also ran a site at Freshwater Bay which finished at the end of June, having opened in April.
The site, which was open every weekend, hosted sessions from special guests throughout the summer.
Slomo will also be hosting a 72-hour retreat in September at their headquarters on the Isle of Wight.
This retreat is designed to reconnect the body, mind, and spirit, with morning meditations and evening bonfires.
