South Stradbroke Island Reset Retreat

Your Nervous System Called. It Needs A Weekend Away.
Imagine disappearing to a private island where there are no traffic lights, no overflowing inbox, no school lunches to make and nowhere you need to be.

Just ocean air. Bare feet. Good food. Gentle movement. Deep rest.

Only a short boat ride from the Gold Coast, South Stradbroke Island feels like stepping into another world. Surrounded by 22 kilometres of untouched coastline, this boutique women's wellness retreat is designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with yourself.

No schedule to keep.

No pressure to achieve.

Just 48 hours to reset.

Move your body with nourishing yoga. Wander endless beaches. Swim in crystal-clear water. Finish the book that's been sitting on your bedside table for months. Fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and wake naturally with the sunrise.

This retreat is designed to help you reconnect with what matters. To remember who you are beneath the busy. To reignite the spark that can sometimes get buried under responsibilities, routines and endless scrolling. You'll leave feeling stronger, lighter, clearer and deeply restored.

This isn't about escaping your life.

It's about creating enough space to return to it with more energy, clarity and joy.

A Hidden Island Sanctuary
Accessible only by boat, South Stradbroke Island is one of Queensland's last untouched coastal escapes.

Wild kangaroos and wallabies wander the island, humpback whales pass the coastline during migration season, and the only soundtrack is birdsong, rolling waves and the occasional crackle of an evening campfire.

There's something profoundly calming about being somewhere that reminds you the world is bigger than your to-do list.

Your Weekend Reset
Every class is thoughtfully designed to guide you through a journey of movement, mindfulness and restoration. Expect a blend of yoga, meditation, philosophy and meaningful conversation. This retreat invites you to soften and journey inwards, allowing you to feel more at home in your body and more connected to yourself.

This is yoga as lifestyle medicine. The kind that doesn't end when the retreat does.

What You'll Experience
Designed by yoga educator Patty Perlman, this retreat combines evidence-informed wellbeing practices with the timeless wisdom of yoga.

Throughout the weekend you'll enjoy:

Mind Body Mastery workshops
Morning beachside yoga
Meditation and Pranayama beside the ocean
Guided nature walks
Time to swim, rest, journal or simply do nothing
Sunset campfires and meaningful conversation
Plenty of space for stillness, laughter and connection

There is no expectation to perform, push or perfect anything. Simply arrive exactly as you are.

Nourishing Food Made With Love
Every meal is prepared by acclaimed chef Rebecca Gava, whose career began at Rockpool under Neil Perry before becoming Sous Chef and later working alongside Kylie Kwong.

Expect vibrant seasonal meals, exceptional coffee, relaxed long lunches and dinners shared with like-minded women. Everything is designed to nourish you—from the first coffee of the morning to the final campfire under the stars. Vegetarian, vegan and most dietary requirements are happily catered for.

This Retreat Is For You If…
You've been looking after everyone else. You've forgotten what it feels like to truly switch off. You crave nature more than another shopping centre. You miss having time to think. You'd love someone else to cook dinner while you watch the sunset with a glass of champagne in hand. If that sounds like you, consider this your permission slip.

Your island is waiting.
