Wellness retreats on the Sunshine Coast.

If you want time to talk things through, the Counselling & Personal Reset Retreat puts conversation at the centre of your stay. If your interest is Ayurveda, daily routines, meditation and traditional wellbeing practice, start with the Holistic & Alternative Retreat. The Private Personalised Beach Retreat places more emphasis on rest, bodywork and time by the coast. Tell Deb and Ian what you hope for; suitable elements can be combined in the plan you agree together.

Yes. Every retreat is planned for one person or one couple, with your own self-contained apartment. You can balance the experiences agreed with Deb and Ian with time on your own. There is no group timetable to follow.

You book directly with Deb and Ian, who personally host the retreat and provide the counselling, massage, bodywork and Ayurveda sessions agreed in your plan. We confirm who each session is with before you book. Optional extras involving other providers are arranged separately and confirmed with you.

Beach Health Retreat has welcomed guests on the Sunshine Coast since 2010. Deb and Ian personally plan and host private retreats for one person or one couple, continually evolving their approach around guest needs.

Your plan is agreed with you first, and very little is asked of you beyond that. Preparing for your retreat sets out the four steps from enquiry to arrival, what is worth packing, how to get here and what the first day is usually like.

Nothing automatic: there is no follow-up programme and no mailing list. After your retreat is honest about practical routines and optional follow-up, and what can be arranged from home if you would like to keep going.

Adults looking for relaxation and rest, relief from stress, recovery from burnout, time out from everyday demands, space for their emotional wellbeing, a lifestyle reset, or an unhurried holistic stay by the sea. It is a private wellbeing retreat, not a hospital, an inpatient facility, a crisis service or a medical clinic, and it doesn’t diagnose or treat health conditions. If that is the kind of time away you are after, tell us what you’re looking for and we will suggest a shape for it.

It is always private: one person, or one couple, and never a group. Solo guests and couples are equally normal here. The apartments sit in a beachside resort with other residents and guests, so its pools, spa, sauna and grounds are shared — and open to you throughout your stay during the property’s normal opening hours.

Yes. Beach Health Retreat is an adults-only retreat, for one person or one couple at a time. Quiet is a large part of why people come, and keeping the retreat adults-only is how we look after it.

The two-night beach retreat gives you a starting point, and you don’t have to design anything yourself. Tell us what you’re hoping for and what interests you, and Deb or Ian write a flexible retreat plan for you, with the price set out before you decide. You can review it, ask for changes and add extras before anything is booked. In the planner you can also choose a customised mix to draw on more than one pathway, or start from “I’m not sure yet” and we’ll suggest a shape.

Each is a starting point, personalised around you, in the same private beachside apartments. The Private Personalised Beach Retreat is about rest, bodywork, coastal experiences and plenty of freedom. The Counselling & Personal Reset Retreat puts regular one-to-one counselling at the centre. The Holistic & Alternative Retreat puts Ayurveda and traditional wellbeing practice at the centre, drawing on Ian’s background, with bodywork, meditation and time in nature around it. Suitable elements can be combined.

No. A few things are placed through your stay, with plenty of free time for rest, the beach, the pool and the sauna.

Catering is included as standard in our mental health and addiction supported stays. If price is a concern, you can request a lower-cost option without catering. For other retreat options, arranged meals are optional at additional cost, or you can self-cater. Your personalised quote confirms the inclusions and total price. Read about food.

Deb Pepperdine or Ian Trew, with the practitioner and approach agreed when you plan your stay. Counselling is not part of every retreat: it can be central, as on the Counselling & Personal Reset Retreat, an optional addition, or left out entirely. Massage and non-invasive bodywork can be included in the same way.

Yes, as often as you like. The two heated pools, the spa and the sauna are open to guests during the property’s normal opening hours, with nothing to book and nothing extra to pay. They are shared with other residents and guests. Deb or Ian can also prepare the sauna and introduce you to it as part of your retreat.

No. Fasting is never part of a stay unless you ask about it, and suitability is considered before anything is recommended. How food and fasting interests are handled.

Tell us your preference, including whether you’d like a comfortable or a premium apartment. Apartments vary, and your apartment is confirmed in your retreat plan. See the apartments.

At 70–78 Alexandra Parade, Cotton Tree, Maroochydore, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast between Brisbane and Noosa, across the road from the beachside park and Maroochydore Beach. Ask about a Sunshine Coast Airport transfer when you enquire.

Your stay is quoted personally after we discuss your needs and check availability. Your private apartment, agreed wellbeing experiences and personal hosting are set out in your retreat plan before you decide. For wellbeing retreats, meals are optional at additional cost. Mental health and addiction supported stays include catering as standard, with a lower-cost uncatered option available. Optional extras are at additional cost, subject to availability. Your quote confirms the apartment, inclusions and total before booking. Other retreat pathways and longer stays are quoted individually.

Your retreat plan sets out the inclusions and the price before anything is booked, and the payment and cancellation arrangements for your stay are confirmed with you at that point. No payment is taken on this website, and sending an enquiry commits you to nothing.

Yes. Your answers go to Deb and Ian by email. It isn’t a booking: they’ll be in touch to talk it through, and your retreat plan comes before anything is booked. You can also email snh.enquiries@gmail.com or call 0402 130 552.
