Retreat one · Rest and restore

Private Personalised Beach Retreat.

Time to slow down, breathe and reconnect, in a private Sunshine Coast retreat by the beach, shaped around you.

More purposeful than a holiday. More personal than a resort.

Grassy dune path beside the beach

A private beachside stay with restorative bodywork, time on the coast, the sauna and personal support from Deb and Ian, and far less structure than a traditional retreat timetable.

It suits anyone who wants to get away, rest and be looked after, with some wellbeing support and plenty of freedom: sleep in, walk the beach, swim, read on the balcony, or do nothing at all.

Counselling can be part of your plan if it would help. If talking things through is the main reason you’re coming, the Counselling & Personal Reset Retreat puts it at the centre.

What’s included.

A carefully balanced mix of restorative bodywork, coastal experiences, sauna, personal support and plenty of unstructured time to slow down.

What’s included for your length of stay is set out in your retreat plan, with the price, before you book. Yoga, Pilates, personal training and beauty treatments are optional extras.

Two nights, or seven.

Longer stays allow more time for restorative treatments and experiences, and a deeper sense of reset, without filling your days.

  1. 2 nightsA short, restorative reset: bodywork, time on the coast and the sauna.
  2. 3 nightsRoom to settle in, with personal support woven through your stay.
  3. 5 nightsMore bodywork and restorative experiences, and a deeper sense of space.
  4. 7 nightsA full week to rest deeply, with the most time for treatments and the coast.

Shaped around you.

Tell us what you’re looking for and what interests you. Deb or Ian then put together a personalised retreat plan setting out what’s included and the price. You can ask for changes or add extras, and nothing is booked until you decide.

Your selections help us understand what appeals to you. They don’t automatically become your retreat timetable. How your retreat plan comes together.

Where you’ll stay

Your own apartment, the beach across the road.

The privacy of a luxuriously comfortable apartment, with everything you need for an easy, unhurried stay: air conditioning, a full kitchen, your own washing machine and dryer, and a balcony or courtyard. Choose a comfortable 4-star or a more luxurious 5-star apartment, with shared pools, gardens and sauna.

Supported, never overscheduled.

A few things are placed through your stay, such as bodywork, time on the coast and the sauna, with the rest left open: sleep in, walk the beach, swim, read on the balcony, or do nothing at all. What a stay can feel like.

Food

Nourishing meals, or your own kitchen.

Choose main meals prepared by local food providers, tailored around your preferences, dietary needs and retreat choices, or self-cater in your apartment’s full kitchen. Deb and Ian don’t cook the meals themselves.

Optional extras

Add something extra, if you’d like.

Once your retreat plan is created, you can add private yoga (including restorative or Yin), Pilates, personal training, beauty and spa treatments, extra massage, counselling or Ayurveda, a sunrise or sunset experience, airport transfers or a celebration. These are paid extras rather than part of the retreat: each has an additional cost, subject to availability, and is confirmed with its price. There is no salon or gym at the resort.

A few things you may be wondering.

Do I choose my treatments in advance?

No. Tell us what interests you when you enquire. Deb or Ian then recommend a plan, and you can ask for changes before anything is booked.

Is counselling included?

It can be part of your plan if it would help. If counselling is the main reason you’re coming, the Counselling & Personal Reset Retreat is designed around it.

Is yoga included?

No. Private yoga, Pilates, personal training and beauty treatments are optional extras you can add once your plan is created.

Will my days be scheduled?

Only lightly. A few things are placed through your stay, with plenty of time left for the beach, the pool, the sauna, reading and rest.

What does it cost?

The price depends on your length of stay, whether you’re coming solo or as a couple, and your food choice. It’s set out in your retreat plan before anything is booked.

What beach retreat guests have said.

Two guests on the personal planning and the setting. Their words, shortened where marked.
