Scentuary Temple

Scentuary Temple is a contemporary temple-stay retreat set within the historic grounds of Newark Castle. The name of Scentuary—blending scent and sanctuary—reflects a place where aroma, atmosphere, and silence come together to create a deeply calming and immersive space for rest and reflection.

Inspired by monastic traditions and interpreted through modern design, Scentuary Temple guides visitors on a gentle "in and out journey” from the noise of the outer world into inner stillness, and back again with renewed clarity. Natural materials, herbal scents, and soft lighting shape a sensory experience that soothes both body and mind.

Scentuary Temple offers something essential: stillness, presence, and the quiet beauty of simply being at a time when true rest is rare.
