5 Must-Try Wellness Retreats in Australia



VOTED No.1 By EAT LIVE ESCAPE

This unique journey will have you embarking on a pathway of rewilding and connection in the heart of Ballina, NSW. Sugar Beach Ranch, which was founded by the late music industry legend Chris Murphy OAM, has opened to the public, both with an Airbnb offering, and with their new Sweet Retreats.

The retreat concept was created by Stevey Arena, Chris’ daughter who has recently taken over the ranch. Together with Maxime Willems from MW Therapy and Training, the duo has created a unique experience with its point of difference being that guests have the opportunity to interact with horses. Maxime specialises in equine wellness where guests can connect with these majestic animals. The idea is to help reduce stress, improve you communication and observation skills and more. Additionally guests will enjoy yoga, mindfulness and sound therapy on the deck with the horses. Painting with the horses, a five-star dinner on the beach, dove release ceremony, regenerative planting and much more.
