Explore the retreatsSome time that belongs to you.
One person, or one couple. A private health and wellness retreat on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, in a comfortable 4-star or luxurious 5-star beachside apartment in Maroochydore, with the beach just across the road.
Beach Health Retreat is small on purpose: hosted personally by Deb and Ian, with enough support that the time matters and enough freedom that it still feels like a retreat.
Stay for two, three, five or seven nights. Tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll shape a retreat plan around you, with plenty of time left open.
