Movement & fitness · Sunshine Coast
Move as much, or as little, as you like.
The beach is across the road and the coastal path runs for kilometres. Anything more structured can be arranged.
Move your way.
Maroochydore Beach and the beachside park are directly across Alexandra Parade, the coastal path runs for kilometres, and there are two heated pools in the shared gardens. All of it is there to enjoy whenever you like, with nothing to book and nothing to keep up with.
This isn’t a fitness retreat, and there’s no gym at the resort. Some guests walk at sunrise every morning; others barely leave the balcony. Both are a good way to spend the time.
Where we are describes the beach, the path and the walk into Cotton Tree; the accommodation page covers the shared pools, spa and sauna.
Arranged for you
Yoga, Pilates and personal training.
If you’d like something more structured, private yoga — including restorative or Yin — Pilates and personal training can be arranged with local practitioners once your retreat plan is created. They’re optional paid extras rather than part of the retreat: each has an additional cost, subject to availability, and is confirmed with its price before you book.
Sessions are private and arranged around your stay, rather than classes running to a timetable.
Yours to use, whenever you like.
Bodywork and the sauna are part of your retreat plan. Everything else here is simply available, at no extra cost.
- Maroochydore Beach and the beachside park across the road
- The coastal path, for a short walk or a long one
- Ocean swimming, and two heated pools in the shared gardens
- Restorative massage and non-invasive bodywork with Deb or Ian
- A hosted sauna setup in the shared Sundeck Gardens sauna
- Meditation, and guided breath and relaxation practice, on a holistic retreat
The two heated pools, the spa and the sauna are shared resort facilities, open to guests during the property’s normal opening hours and included in your stay.
Gentle is the usual pace.
Most guests arrive tired, so what suits them is gentle: a walk, a swim, a stretch in the morning. That’s what this place is built around. If you’d like something more demanding, personal training can be arranged.
There’s no fitness assessment, no training plan and no promised result.
A few things you may be wondering.
Is there a gym at the resort?
No, and there is no salon. There are two heated pools, a spa and a sauna in the shared gardens, open to guests during the property’s normal opening hours, and the beach and coastal path are across the road.
Can yoga, Pilates or personal training be arranged?
Yes, with local practitioners, once your retreat plan is created. Private yoga includes restorative and Yin yoga. Each is a paid extra at additional cost, subject to availability.
What costs extra and what doesn’t?
Walking, swimming and the shared pools cost nothing, and bodywork is part of your retreat plan. Yoga, Pilates, personal training and beauty treatments are extras you choose and pay for separately.
Do Deb or Ian teach yoga or Pilates?
No. Deb’s background includes yoga and meditation, but these sessions are arranged with outside practitioners.
Can I just walk and swim, or do nothing at all?
Yes, and many guests do exactly that. Everything arranged here is private, there are no classes to join, and a retreat spent resting is a perfectly good way to use the time.
