It’s Your Season to Rejuvenate.
At The Reef House Adults Retreat, wellness isn’t an activity — it’s a way of being. Our exclusive 3- and 5-night Wellness Retreats invite you to pause, breathe, and rediscover balance in a beachfront sanctuary where time slows and tranquillity reigns.
Awaken to yoga beneath the palms, nourish yourself with fresh tropical cuisine, and restore your spirit with guided mindfulness, spa indulgence and mindful workshops. Our immersive escapes are designed to renew body, mind, and soul within our luxury beachfront sanctuary in Palm Cove.
Whether you’re embarking on a solo restorative journey, or travelling with a partner or friend, our group retreats provide a welcoming space to reconnect with yourself and like-minded guests by the Coral Sea.
Begin each day with beachfront yoga and guided meditation, then deepen your retreat with thoughtfully curated workshops — from sound healing and journaling to botanical drawing and tea blending that invite stillness, clarity, and self-discovery.
Savour nourishing tropical breakfasts and wellness-inspired shared lunches overlooking the Coral Sea. Retreat guests also enjoy a 60-minute spa treatment, with additional therapies available, blending indulgence and wellbeing in perfect harmony.
Set on the beachfront in Palm Cove, The Reef House Adults Retreat is an award-winning adults-only retreat with over 40 years of timeless hospitality. Alongside your wellness retreat, you’ll also enjoy our famous 28+ Signature Inclusions & Experiences.
Our Retreats are guided by a team of passionate local practitioners, each bringing their own expertise and energy to your restorative journey.
With more than 2,000 hours of teaching experience, Beth Hartig of Hartig Yoga has spent the last decade guiding both locals and visitors in Palm Cove through the transformative practice of yoga. After studying psychology in the UK and completing her yoga training in India, Beth settled in Palm Cove in 2014, where her beachfront classes have become a beloved ritual.
During the retreat, Beth will lead daily yoga sessions and journaling by the Coral Sea and poolside at The Reef House, including Vinyasa, Hatha, Slow Flow and Restorative practices — blending mindful movement with reflection to nurture both body and mind.
With over three decades of yoga practice, Cathrena McRae has helped countless Reef House guests ease into relaxation through her gentle stretch and breathe classes by the pool.
At the retreat, Cathrena will guide mindfulness and meditation sessions, creating space for clarity, calm and release. Guests can also join her signature Stretch & Breathe classes, designed to gently reduce tension and support flexibility in a serene poolside setting.
Originally from Switzerland, Spa Director Isabelle Neil trained with Clarins, Chanel, Dior and Phytomer, specialising in anti-ageing and deep relaxation therapies. She now leads The Reef House Spa with a philosophy of personalised care and world-class rejuvenation.
Retreat guests will enjoy one 60-minute spa treatment — beginning with a 30-minute Relaxation Massage, followed by their choice of a rejuvenating Botanical Spa Facial, rich in active botanicals and vitamin C to firm, brighten and hydrate, or the soothing Marine Facial, designed to calm, restore and deeply hydrate sensitive skin.
Additional treatments can be arranged on request.
Founder of local business Blackbooks Tea, Marg Frederick has been hand-blending organic loose-leaf teas in Cairns since 2009. Dedicated to purity and flavour, her blends use Australian-grown and certified organic herbs, fruits and teas, with no additives or teabags in sight.
At the retreat, Marg will introduce guests to the art of tea blending, guiding you to create your own personalised infusion while discovering the health benefits and flavours of her locally sourced ingredients.
With 44 years of experience as a physiotherapist and founder of a leading physiotherapy and wellbeing centre in Cairns, Amanda Gale has devoted her life to the art of healing and renewal. Her journey has embraced diverse traditions – from herbal medicine and nutrition to yoga, meditation, and energy work – weaving science with soul. Amanda believes true wellbeing is a gentle balance of body, mind and spirit. At the Reef House, she invites guests to pause, breathe, and rediscover vitality in her inspiring session, “How to Live a Healthy Lifestyle”.
