Gwinganna Retreat & Spa

I am just back from a 7 days detox retreat. It's my second ! A real reset... I feel so much more energized physically and mentally. The staff and the atmosphere is just amazing. Without talking about the amazing organic food from top chefs. They have so many diversified activities and treatments on offer, too many to say. And most important... I came back with tools to help myself. Thank you Gwinganna...

Recently stayed for the fabulous Yoga and Ayurveda 3 night stay. The words that come to mind are nurturing and nourishing for the body, mind and soul. There was a beautiful mix of activities and learning. Loved the morning and evening Ayurvedic rituals that I can take back into my daily life. The food of course was wonderful - every meal makes you feel so nourished and nurtured. The staff are warm and welcoming. Thank you all. I left inspired and keen to return.

We visited Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat for the Spa and Wellness Summit, and from the moment we arrived, the experience was nothing short of amazing. The retreat itself is breathtaking — surrounded by nature, filled with serenity, and perfectly designed to restore balance and wellbeing. But what truly made our stay exceptional was Paul, the Assistant General Manager. Paul was absolutely phenomenal — warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about creating an incredible guest experience. His attention to detail, calm energy, and personal touch made every interaction feel effortless and heartfelt. He went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly during such a special event. You could feel his care in every aspect — from his gracious hospitality to the way he engaged with guests, making everyone feel welcome and valued. Paul is a true embodiment of what Gwinganna stands for — wellness, integrity, and connection. His leadership and genuine kindness made a lasting impression on us and elevated our entire experience. An unforgettable stay made even more memorable by an outstanding team — with Paul shining at the heart of it all.

Have been to this retreat in 2013, 2019 and now returning in 2025, everything you need is catered to by their caring, helpful employees. It is the most grounding, beautiful retreat thus I will always recommend Gwinganna. If there was a month long stay I’d take it. It’s truly such magnificent experience, it immerses you in natural health and grounds you into nature and takes you back to your core beliefs and self, removing you from the storm to find the calm, everything about this retreat is what you need if you are yearning for time away to centre yourself and relax. Definitely recommend.

Was not expecting how magnificent the location and beneficial the program was for me. The experience was both relaxing and invigorating. Inspiring lessons learnt. Special mention to Duncan and Lucy who were outstanding in their performance and care.
