Byron Bay is renowned for its laid-back lifestyle, a place where taking time out is encouraged and prioritising one’s well-being, particularly in the form of spa retreats, is inspired. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Bundjalung Country, our humble coastal town has a generous offering of wellness retreats and spa hotels that are guaranteed to have you feeling rejuvenated and wonderfully zen.
Crystal Brook offers one of the ultimate getaways in Byron.
Surrounded by forty-five acres of subtropical rainforest, this sublime hotel location perfectly balances central living and seclusion. Arrive here and settle into the tropical oasis at the exclusive Eléme Spa; they offer a completely personalised experience. With an experienced team, you can run through their extensive menu of treatments and luxury facilities to give your body and soul a well-deserved break.
Enjoy a complimentary mid-morning yoga class before indulging in a deep tissue massage or customised chakra healing, or opt for a fresh, lengthy swim in their iconic pool, followed by a healthy and delicious dinner at the hotel’s restaurant; the options are endless.
Byron Bay Gifts delivers pamper and celebration gifts around Byron Bay (as well as Australia wide).
The private suites at Crystal Brook are spacious, each housing a divine king-size bath for your evening soak, but if you feel like fully immersing in mother nature, forest bathing is a must-do. Australian indigenous call it Dadirri; this is when you tap into the natural resources and envelop yourself within the healing qualities of the local rainforest.
The indigenous trees emit phytoncides into the tea tree lakes; this acts as a feel-good chemical and promotes a long-lasting and healthy immune system. It is a therapeutic practice to lay and listen to the sounds of your surroundings, to learn to be mindful allow time to connect with the land.
