health retreats in australia Eden

The activities on offer at Eden will give you a new thirst for life. As no two days are the same, you will wake up to new opportunities every morning. The day begins with something to get the heart pumping, like flying fox, bike riding and boxfit, while afternoons are all about self-development and relaxation. There is a wide variety of things to try, but absolutely no pressure to do anything that you don’t fancy. The Currumbin Valley provides a serenity that’s hard to match, with wide-open space, thick rainforest and plenty of walking trails. Accommodation comes in the way of ecologically-sensitive lodges, with floor to ceiling windows, private balconies and mountain views. There are packages from five to 21 nights starting at $2690pp, depending on how long you need.

KalyaaNa

South of Perth within the Maslin Reserve is KalyaaNa, a spa and wellness retreat highly regarded as one of the Western Australia’s finest breaks. With help and guidance from health and fitness professionals, you can improve your wellbeing and discover how to live a balanced lifestyle, or simply bask in the stunning surroundings with outdoor activities including mountain biking, walks, forest meditation and a massage. There are different packages depending on the reason for your stay, two suite-style accommodations with private spa en-suites and complete seclusion, and an in-house chef making gourmet meals with natural ingredients for maximum flavour. The herbs and vegetables are courtesy of the kitchen garden, the eggs come straight from the KalyaaNa chickens and the extra virgin olive oil is made in the next town of Bridgetown. The price you pay depends on the retreat you seek, around $600-800pp, and make sure you spend some time soaking up the Bali-inspired garden.
