Alaya Escape represents a unique experience that defies description. Are we a Hotel, B & B, Spa, Wellness or Spiritual Retreat, Nature Reserve? Yes and no to all of these. We offer possibilities and options, in whatever form suits you in one of our 5 mountain-top Balinese-themed bungalows surrounded with tropical gardens, running waterfalls and birdsong. Considering that health, connection (to self and other) and wellbeing are our focus, wellness technologies are literally at your doorstep within the grounds of our mountain-top tropical oasis. Options include floatation tank, massages, red cedar sauna and cold / hot tubs, positive psychology development and retreats. From romantic getaways with a difference, to a stress decompression, individual retreat away from it all or personal and professional development, Alaya Escape provides an incredibly beautiful and peaceful base for exploring the wonders of the Sunshine Coast. With the unique beauty and many possibilities on offer, we hope that Alaya Escape will quickly become your “happy place”.
