Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat is an eco-chic resort on Australia's Gold Coast. Recharge yourself and reconnect with nature through exercise programs and innovative, certified-organic cuisine.
EXPERIENCE
Though the term "program" may jar with your idea of relaxation, the agenda is up to you. The Gwinganna Retreat's philosophy actively encourages you to listen to what your body craves. Each day starts with Qi Gong meditation, watching the sun rise out of the ocean. Afterwards, you can choose to restore balance through inwardly focused "Yin" activities - such as Yoga, Pilates or Dance - or a little "Yang" action - like boxing or belly-dancing - designed to get your blood pumping. Or maybe you need a little Spa time.
They say that an army runs on its stomach, and the community at the Gold Coast's Gwinganna is no different. The vegetarian, fish and meat dishes, are imaginatively prepared with an emphasis on Low Human Intervention - much of it grown on the property.
The Heritage guesthouses of the ‘village' are traditional Queensland style country houses that have been brought to Gwinganna piece by piece. Their dark native woods and piles of pillows blend home comfort and luxury.

LOCATION
Set on a hill amid the rainforest of Queensland's Gold Coast, Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat looks out over the lush Tallebudgera Valley towards the coast. The primeval forest is home to a host of Australia's famed wildlife; among the most evident are the wallabies and the vocal Kookaburra. Gwinganna is 30 minutes from Coolangatta Airport, and around 90 minutes from Brisbane.
