Coming as a couple
Time away, together.
A private Sunshine Coast retreat for two, with room to rest and space to follow your own rhythm.
A stay shaped around both of you.
Come together for a change of pace, time by the sea and a break from the demands of everyday life. Your retreat is private: one person or one couple at a time, with Deb and Ian planning the stay with you.
You stay in your own self-contained apartment in Cotton Tree, Maroochydore, across Alexandra Parade from the beachside park and beach. There is space to cook, read and relax between arranged experiences. Pools, spa, sauna and gardens are shared with other residents and guests.
You do not need to want exactly the same things. Tell us what each of you hopes for, what you would like to do together and where you would appreciate time on your own. We discuss the practical arrangements before anything is booked.
Choose a starting point.
All three existing retreat pathways can be explored for a couple: the Private Personalised Beach Retreat, the Counselling & Personal Reset Retreat and the Holistic & Alternative Retreat. Suitable elements can be combined in your personalised plan.
Coming as a couple does not automatically include joint counselling or a relationship programme. Any counselling arrangements are discussed individually before booking. Beach Health Retreat is a non-clinical wellbeing retreat.
Meals may be arranged with local providers, or you can self-cater. Optional extras are at additional cost, subject to availability. Your plan sets out the arrangements and price for you to consider.
A few things you may be wondering.
Can counselling be part of a couples retreat?
Yes. If you would like counselling during a stay for two, discuss it with Deb and Ian when planning your retreat. The practitioner, sessions and arrangements are agreed beforehand. Explore the Counselling & Personal Reset Retreat for the pathway with counselling at its centre.
Will we join a group?
No. The retreat is private, for one person or one couple at a time.
Do we need to choose the same experiences?
Tell us your individual preferences and what you would like to share. We discuss the arrangements with you before confirming the plan.
Which apartment will we stay in?
Apartments vary in layout, furnishings and outlook. Your apartment is confirmed in your retreat plan. See the accommodation.
How do we enquire?
Send a short retreat enquiry and mention that you are coming as a couple. You can add preferences if you wish. Deb or Ian reply personally within two business days. Sending an enquiry does not make a booking.
