    Programmes & Offerings

    Gwinganna has a wide range of fully inclusive package options, from two to seven days in length to help you live a healthier life, reduce stress and enhance positive ageing. Choices include the popular seven night Detox, a two night Wellness Weekend or specialty retreats that focus on stress, nutrition, women’s health, sleep or mindfulness. Though activities on each program can vary, each day on retreat follows a similar structure – typically, mornings begin watching the sun rise out of the ocean whilst practicing the ancient art of Qi Gong, a restorative moving meditation. A choice of hikes and walks before breakfast continue this ideal start to your day. After breakfast there is a variety of activities, using their own yin and yang approach to movement. Most mornings then end with a key wellness seminar, a differentiating feature of Gwinganna. During each afternoon, you can take advantage of the diverse and extensive array of experts and therapists to further enhance your stay. From soothing spa therapies, to wellness consultations, balanced movement programs and stress management sessions, these can help you customise your Gwinganna experience each time you visit.

    Facilities 

    Gwinganna is home to two heated swimming pools, tennis courts, gym, yoga studio, a spacious dining room, numerous relaxation areas and lounges, an extensive spa and a boutique store, as well as a new Wellness Education Complex.

    The Spa Sanctuary, covering 1500sqm over three levels, is a haven for spa treatments and relaxation. Utilising an indoor/outdoor design with three towering ancient gum trees as the centrepiece, you are completely surrounded by nature. This is a space to be nurtured, to relax and to experience treatments that are unique to Gwinganna. Similarly, an infinity edge custom designed lap pool with views to the Gold Coast is perfect for relaxation, as well as water based training sessions or swimming laps.. Heated for your comfort, the pool is used all year round due to the mild climate of this area, while the adjoining sauna is the perfect addition before or after your pool session in the cooler months.

    Indoor activities are held in various locations including the spacious studio known as The Hangar and the indoor cycling studio. Yoga, stretch and dance classes are housed in the retreat’s spacious Mind Body pavilion, built from reclaimed timbers with view to the valley and ocean. Indoor resistance training or personal training sessions are held within the two level multi-purpose gym, featuring an extensive range of Technogym equipment and a private area for one ton one Pilates and Kinesis resistance training workouts.

    Wellness seminars and presentations are held within Gwinganna’s stunning Wellness Education complex which features a full suite of audio visual equipment, wellness consultation rooms and a large outdoor deck. Each stay at Gwinganna includes a focus on wellness education with informative seminars by leading practitioners and special guest presenters, providing guests with the very latest information to help them realise their healthiest intentions.

    Food & Drink

    All meals are included at Gwinganna and their food philosophy centres around seasonal, local, organic wholefoods with much of the produce harvested daily from their extensive onsite gardens. Menus vary with each program and are designed in conjunction with their nutritionist. Gluten free and dairy free, the aim is to help support and improve digestion and liver detoxification, reduce inflammation, improve gut bacteria and balance blood sugar levels. Ingredients focus on low human intervention (LHI) where the food has undergone minimal or no changes from its place in nature to create an ideal balance between macro and micronutrients. This allows your body’s biochemistry to convert food into what it needs for optimum health and prevention of major lifestyle diseases

    Accommodation

    When it comes to accommodation, guests can choose from a selection of stunning rooms set among a village of beautifully appointed buildings. With the largest range of premium accommodation options including the unique Meditation Suites, with spacious open plan design, king size bed, bath, private deck and day bed, these rooms are custom designed to help you focus on mindfulness.
