The Gaia Experience
The All-Inclusive Gaia Retreat & Spa Experience
Gaia Retreat & Spa, set on 25 acres of breathtaking Bundjalung Country in the Byron Bay hinterland, is one of Australia’s most awarded boutique wellness retreats. With just 22 elegant rooms, suites and villas, every stay is tailored to your needs—whether you seek rest, renewal, or improved health and wellbeing.
At Gaia Retreat & Spa, we believe true luxury lies in simplicity, presence and peace of mind. That’s why every element of your stay is included in one all-encompassing rate: nourishing meals, restorative yoga, inspiring daily activities, holistic spa treatments, use of our world-class wellness facilities and airport transfers. No hidden costs. No surprises. Just space to surrender, reconnect, and return to yourself.
Here’s what’s included in your stay:
Chef-Curated Gourmet Meals
Savour chef-curated breakfasts, lunches, and dinners each day, plus nourishing snacks and organic teas & coffee, smoothies and juices, all thoughtfully crafted with seasonal ingredients to revitalise you from the inside out. Each dish celebrates wholefoods, local produce, and global flavours, catering thoughtfully to all dietary needs.
Whether you’re dining on vibrant plant-based creations, nourishing broths, or something a little more indulgent, every bite is infused with love, meaning, and care.

Wellness Orientation – Tailored Just for You
Your Gaia experience begins with a personalised Wellness Orientation, a gentle one-on-one consultation designed to help shape your ideal retreat. During this session, you’ll meet with one of our wellness team members to discuss your goals, preferences, and any specific health considerations. You’ll receive a guided tour of the Day Spa facilities, and if you’d like to add additional treatments or experiences, we’ll help you do so with ease. This session sets the tone for your stay, ensuring that every element supports your personal wellbeing, and like everything at Gaia, it’s completely included in your retreat package.
