About Us

Family-run luxury wellness

welcome

Built to Belong Here

Founded by Rory and Lucy Dowell, Anika was created with a simple vision in mind: a new relaxation and wellness retreat in the Angus countryside that feels completely at home in its surroundings.

Thoughtful, sustainable and rooted in our close connection to this beautiful region of Scotland, Anika combines natural materials with considered design to create a place that belongs as much to the landscape as it does to our guests.

In doing this, we want to support the best of local by partnering with great businesses and producers, establishing a wellness destination for Angus that can evolve, grow and deliver invigorating experiences for everyone who visits or stays.

Meet the team

Hello from Lucy & Rory

Bespoke.
Exclusive.
Wellbeing.

That's the vision, when we decided to embark on the adventure that is Anika. As founders of a fully independent luxury retreat, every detail here is something we've thought about carefully.

Throughout the journey of establishing Anika, we owe it to our backgrounds in rural business and engineering, as well as our real passion for delivering premium guest experiences. Anika means a lot to us; it’s not just a business.
