Alaya Escape

SUNSHINE COAST Retreat

Awarded as one of the Top 5 best Bed and Breakfasts in Australia in 2022, Alaya Escape has remained one of the most loved retreat accommodation experiences here on the Sunshine Coast for nearly 20 years.

We help couples and individuals, as well as small groups reconnect with themselves and each other, erase stress and invest in themselves and their wellbeing through our tailored experiences and the quality time they deserve here in our ‘Peace’ of Paradise.

Our very affordable and life-changing weekends and mini-retreats empower people to be able to manage stress and dysfunction caused by being caught up in the ‘business of busyness’ and losing sight of what matters most.

Alaya Escape offers unique possibilities and options, in whatever form suits you. Are we a Hotel, B & B, Spa, Wellness or Spiritual Retreat, Nature Reserve? Yes and no to all of these, as we are routinely told that the experience we offer defies description.

Start with our mountain-top Balinese-themed Sunshine Coast Hinterland accommodation, all with spas and fireplaces, stunning views around the oasis pool, tropical gardens, running waterfalls and birdsong.

restore & reconnect

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”.
