Elysia Wellness Retreat

discover a fresh lease on life and a true balance of mind, body and spirit.

Retreat from the noise and distraction of your daily life and enjoy the wide-open spaces of the NSW Hunter Valley at one the best-known wellness retreats in Australia, just one hour drive out of Sydney.

Set in the lush and stunning Hunter Valley region of New South Wales, Elysia is surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards and abundant wildlife.

The architecture of the Elysia retreat was designed with ancient design principles of Feng Shui to help move negative energy out of the space, and allow new space for transformative, positive energy to flow into the property.

The team at Elysia Wellness Retreat will help you discover a new, transformative way to see life as you balance your mind, body, and spirit on your way to achieving lifelong health and wellness.

Elysia's all-inclusive health and wellness programs have been developed to motivate change and give you the tools you need for lasting results. This wellness retreat is a place for you to take time to reset your mind and body, and gain a wealth of knowledge to create a healthier, happier, and more motivated you.

The Elysia day spa is a haven of rest and restorative practices and sits in the centre of the property offering a range of treatments and therapies using Babor products, offering access for both day visitors and retreat program guests.

The wellness centre is where you start your retreat where they will help you to create an itinerary based on your length of stay and your wellness goals. 

Start your day with tai chi atop Meditation Hill as the sun rises or a walk through bushland alone or with your fellow retreaters.

Choose form over 50 therapies and treatments at their Day Spa, including popular massages, facials and body scrubs, along with hydrotherapy, acupuncture, reflexology, Reiki and Watzu.

Extra sessions to book ahead include naturopaths, nutritionists, counsellors, energy healers, wellness coaches, movement and performance coaches, tarot readers and spiritual practitioners.

Workshop are optional but always very informative and offer inspiration to take home to continue your wellness journey.

There is plenty of free time to go for walks and talks, play tennis, or simply spend time in the spacious villas or by the retreat's pool.

While nutrition drives the menu, taste is right up there as the key. The food philosophy is based on the belief that food should be nourishing and delicious, and that it can play a key role in supporting overall health and wellness. 

The chefs work closely with the nutritionists to create a menu that is both delicious and nutrient-dense. The focus is on using fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients to create meals that are rich in vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients.

Whether you’re in need of peaceful sleep, detox from the hum of work emails and app notifications, life-giving nutrition advice, energising activities and fitness, weight management, or relaxing meditation for refocusing and clarity – Elysia Wellness Retreat will help you create a life-changing journey of wellbeing tailored to your needs and wellbeing goals.
