Opened in March 2006, Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat is perched high upon a plateau overlooking the Tallebudgera Valley on the Gold Coast, in Queensland, Australia. This adults-only, eco-conscious property is situated on 500 acres of minimally altered rainforest and bushland. New developments use recycled Australian timbers, accommodations are surrounded by bushland and native wildlife found only in the rainforests of the Southern Hemisphere. Panoramic ocean and valley views are accessible at several facilities, including an outdoor yoga deck built on Mount Gwinganna. The 33-room Spa Sanctuary offers a diverse range of treatments and therapies including specialty services unique to Gwinganna.
Guests can choose from a number of holistic experiences that range from a wellness weekend to a seven-day detoxification program. There are also a number of Specialty Retreats devoted to a specific issue or activity, e.g. Sleep Discovery or Feast of Nutrition. All experiences combine exercise and wellness workshops with spa treatments. The gourmet organic cuisine served at the property incorporates produce grown in the organic gardens on site.
