Eden Health Retreat Is The Perfect Anti-Stress Oasis

We live in a world of excess that can be pretty hard to escape sometimes. From sensory overload to working well beyond nine-to-five, it can take a toll on our body, mind and spirit. It’s not all doom and gloom though. An ideal place to alleviate stress, restore balance and regain optimum health, Eden Health Retreat is an elite refuge in Australia that supports guests who are seeking a healthy lifestyle overhaul. Reset, de-stress, and get ready to welcome the new, calmer and healthier you. 

Location

Set amid 120 hectares of tropical rainforest in Australia’s Currumbin Valley, this retreat is the perfect place to escape the urban grind. Positioned in the hinterland, the retreat is 30 minutes from the Gold Coast Airport and two hours from the Brisbane Airport.

Accommodation

Eden Health Retreat has three types of accommodation: Eden Suites (suited for single or twin-share), Eden Superior (suited to twin-share or couples) or Valley View Deluxe (suited to couples). Beautifully furnished with warm, welcoming interiors, each eco-friendly lodge features queen-size beds, sunken bathtubs, private balconies, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and five-star amenities.

Food Programme

Eden Health Retreat is surrounded by biodynamic farms and agriculture. Consequently, the retreat’s head chef and resident naturopath sources fresh, local, seasonal ingredients from surrounding producers, including organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, beans and grains. Healthy whole foods lie at the heart of the menu and dishes have been carefully designed to provide a balance of protein (higher than the recommended daily intake), to promote wellness and reduce cravings.

Vegetarian and vegan options are available and those with weight loss goals are catered to. The kitchen also creates customised dishes for those with dietary allergies such as gluten, dairy, egg and nuts. An innovative collection of fresh juices, smoothies and herbal teas also feature on the menu, although alcohol and caffeine are strictly prohibited.

Treatment Programme

The treatment programme at Eden revolves around the retreat’s signature five-day, all-inclusive ‘Eden Programme’. Promising a ‘truly transformational experience’, this retreat includes nutritious meals, daily wellness classes, spa treatments, stretch and fitness sessions, wellbeing workshops, stress reduction instruction, weight management guidance, personal development coaching, plus a rotating schedule of holistic exercise activities including yoga, Pilates, Zumba, bush walking and biking.

Guests can also work out in the retreat’s state-of-the-art gym, play tennis on the outdoor courts, do a walking meditation in the sacred labyrinth circle, or swim some laps in the saltwater swimming pool. Along with the five-day programme, Eden has four, seven, nice and 10-night packages and also offers a ‘Focus’ programme for returning guests who want to focus on a particular health issue.

Results

Expect to feel… like someone has pressed your body’s ‘re-start’ button. It’s ideal for young professionals and veteran workaholics alike who are looking to find a way to make everyday healthy and stress-free.
