When we’ve got rainforests and the Pacific Ocean in abundance, it makes sense that the Sunshine Coast is a soothing haven for the mind and body.

When we’ve got subtropical rainforests and the sparkling Pacific Ocean waiting just beyond our doorstep, it makes sense that the Sunshine Coast is a soothing haven for the mind and body. Better yet, we’re home to rejuvenating beach yoga sessions, day spas, wellness festivals, and fresh local produce that’ll have the positive energy flowing in no time.  

The simple things 

Fuel your body with a box of veggies straight from the earth at The Falls Farm, or let the crew at Mapleton Public House down the road take things to the next level with their dreamy paddock-to-plate dining. Find a special connection with nature at the tranquil grounds of Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World, or head to one of our award-winning beaches and feel the sand beneath your feet on a dreamy twilight stroll.

Time for a spa day

Enjoy ultimate rejuvenation at the Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort’s Aqua Day Spa, indulge in the offerings from Waterfall Day Spa at Landmark Resort, or relax in the unique Salt Caves Mooloolaba. Alternatively, pop the bubbles and spend a session unwinding in the botanical infused magnesium baths at Tank Bathhouse.

Keep the good vibes flowing 

Stretch your limbs and take a yoga class in a Bali-inspired shala on the leafy grounds at the Shambhala Living Community, or relax in eco-friendly comfort at Ikatan Day Spa Noosa. If you’re looking for a touch of the spiritual, head over and explore the Chenrezig Institute in Eudlo. At this Buddhist Temple, you’ll find a meditation hall, vegetarian cafe, library, and more – all set within beautiful garden surroundings.
