As UK travellers continue to book cooler destination escapes instead of a scorching hot location far from home, the cool-cationing trend is still very much present in 2025.
The rise in water-centric trips has been significant, and due to the blue mind theory with water boosting relaxation, over 74% of travellers (Country Living) agree that water helps to instantly relax them. The rise in water holidays also highlights the benefits of cold-water immersions and open-water swimming and how they help to manage stress levels and mental-health.
If you’re among the 28% interested in water-centric holidays, Evian Resort is the sanctuary for you. Sitting on the shores of Lake Geneva, with endless views of the Alps, there’s quite literally never-ending waters to explore.
