Barend Wellbeing Centre
Join us as we expand Barend Swimming Pool and Sauna into a holistic centre for wellbeing
Over the coming months the previous pub building will be transformed into a multipurpose area, offering space for:
- Classes (such as pilates, yoga, meditation);
- Treatment rooms (for massage, physio, reiki etc);
- The bar area and kitchen will remain. Depending on negotiations and finding the right tenant this will become either a licensed cafe / restaurant (utilising the current restaurant area) or a small bar area with the opportunity to have pop-up bars and food;
- The courtyard will remain as an area that can be used alongside the wellness area and for the cafe / bar and pop-ups.
Do you offer classes or group sessions?
We’d love to hear from you. We’re looking to offer a wide selection of classes, retreats and other treatments aimed at all ages, and both tourists and locals. In particular we’d love to combine your speciality with our pool and sauna, to offer a holistic package.
We’re interested in hearing from people and businesses who wish to offer either regular classes and treatments for locals, as well as one-offs and retreats that will appeal to both visitors and locals alike.
Barend is unique in offering a sauna, swimming pool and accommodation. With the growth in demand for wellness holidays, we are particularly keen to work with businesses and people who would like to collaborate to provide wellness breaks at Barend.


Do you offer treatments, massage or similar?
Please get in touch! Are you a masseuse, physio, reiki practitioner or similar and looking for a permanent location? Combined with our facilities, Barend could be the perfect location for you. Within easy reach of Dalbeattie, Dumfries, Castle Douglas and local villages, plus demand from holiday-makers, there is a large market waiting for you.
We have various options of how we could set up therapy rooms and would like to work with the right practitioner (or practitioners) to develop a space that will right for you.
