When it’s time to unwind: truly unwind, get completely off grid and reconnect with yourself and nature and all that lovely namaste-filled jazz, a wellness retreat can be just what the doctor ordered. And not just because all of the planning and decision making is handled by professionals, or that a typical day involves a massage.
But also because you deserve a break, which is why we’ve rounded up the best of Australia’s wellness retreats. Just for you. This is not Nine Perfect Strangers, no. This is #selfcare at god tier levels in 2025.
