There’s more than one way to relax here

Take your pick from lush, tropical rainforest retreats, sprawling hinterland oases, reef-fringed islands and even Outback stations, complete with on-looking kangaroos. Each delivered with eco-accreditations, award winning technicians and a hefty dose of zen. 

Indigenous Australians have used their innate knowledge of the land for thousands of years. In Cairns & Great Barrier Reef you’ll find spa experiences that call on this ancient wisdom, knowledge of native plants, and healing techniques to bring you calmness of body and soothe your spirit. Here, you’ll find practices that focus on healing your spirit above all else. How? Think a massage at the base of a waterfall deep in the million-year-old Daintree Rainforest, developed in consultation with Kuku Yalanji people.  

Drift away, cocooned in total bliss at a resort on the Great Barrier Reef with treatments featuring a heavy line-up of local ingredients, and the sea breeze flowing through your treatment room. Rest easy knowing your treatment is taking place on the doorstep of one of the world’s wonders. 

Maybe you’d rather meander the World Heritage-listed Lamington National Park on the Gold Coast before a treatment calling on the anti-aging properties of grapes, sourced from a neighbouring vineyard? Or find a full wellness refresh with a stay at one of the Gold Coast hinterland’s wellness sanctuaries, including the famous Gwinganna Lifestyle retreat.

Journeying across our vast, red outback? Make time to discover yourself, too, at artesian mud baths and soak under the stars, in fresher-than-fresh air away from the hustle of your life that operates outside of Queensland time.
