Gaia Retreat & Spa
…creating a dream
Majestically poised on the highest point in the shire and set on 25 acres, Gaia boasts a dramatic backdrop of green valleys and undulating hills in the subtropical hinterland of Byron Bay. This boutique 20 room property will seduce you and capture your heart with its exquisite vistas.
At Gaia Retreat & Spa you can indulge in a retreat package or just spend the day being pampered. Check in any day that suits you. We have a selection of specialised packages, services and facilities with retreat style accommodation and the award winning, on site Gaia Day Spa. Our comprehensive Focus Health Packages, Fitness, Detox, Weight Loss, Meditation, Art and Yoga are personalized package programs tailored specifically to your needs, giving you the space to OWN the Gaia experience.
Founded in 2005 by Olivia Newton-John, Gregg Cave, Ruth Kalnin and Warwick Evans, Gaia offers a retreat with tailored programs aimed to the individual. Gaia is run on a day-to-day basis with gracious hospitality by Gregg Cave, who along with the entire team at Gaia, is committed to your wellbeing.
Inspired by the healing culture of the Byron Bay region and its abundant and fresh local organic produce, Gaia Retreat & Spa is so much more than a healthy holiday; it is a unique retreat and spa experience – with heart. At Gaia Retreat & Spa, it’s all about choice; you choose and we'll help you design your own personal, purpose driven retreat – whether it is active and energetic, tranquil and serene, or a clever combination of both.

Sometimes we really do forget this very basic, simple yet fundamental need.

You chill, you trust, you pay a fortune - over $4k for a 3 day retreat - you get left at airport waiting and waiting and you get blamed - day 1 gone so only 2 day retreat now and then you get either people who get it and are lovely and respect you or just a couple of really really bad
Moments - like a Charaka therapist summoning my recently dead mother (I kid you not) a manager saying we aren't guaranteeing anything and no choice food then kicks in! Oh @gaiaretreat second visit and I trusted - it's been a very mixed bag to be honest and for over $4.6k for three day retreat and left hoping you'll respect day three late Check out - just a really bad offering at the moment
