Whitsundays

A retreat for stillness, renewal, and deep rest.

The retreat that almost didn’t happen.

For years, I searched for a place that felt both luxurious and effortless—somewhere close enough to reach with ease, yet far enough to feel worlds away. Again and again, I came up short.

Just as I was ready to let go of the vision, it appeared.

A breathtaking villa, tucked away in the Whitsundays—quiet, elegant, and immersed in nature. A space that felt like it had been waiting for us all along.

A rare opportunity to pause.

Step away from the noise and return to presence. Over four days, immerse yourself in rejuvenating yoga, quiet reflection, and deep, nourishing rest—all in a setting designed to restore.

With a small, intimate group, luxurious surroundings, and practices curated for renewal, this is a space to soften, breathe, and simply be.

Meet your host.

I’m Sadie, the heart behind this retreat. Through life’s many transitions, yoga has been my guiding anchor—offering clarity, resilience, and balance.

But this retreat isn’t just time away; it’s an invitation to realign with yourself, rediscover what truly matters, and return home feeling deeply restored.
