Description
Indulge yourself with a blissful 5-night yoga retreat at Sanctuary Retreat, an eco-wilderness lodge set on 50 acres of lush tropical rainforest overlooking the Coral Sea at Mission Beach, Far North Queensland.
Sanctuary Retreat is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Enjoy daily yoga, delicious vegetarian food, warm tropical air and plenty of time to relax at secluded Brook’s Beach.
Your Accommodation Choices:
Rainforest Huts with Alfresco En suites
Beautiful, simple and very zen – built on stilts in the heart of the forest, with a boardwalk seating area, they are equipped with a bed(s), ceiling fan, insect screened walls and an elegant, rustic, outdoor bathroom. A simple deck extends from the hut and the natural foliage of the forest creates privacy. The outdoor bathroom shower, toilet and basin are gravity fed with fresh, cold water collected onsite.
Deluxe Canopy Cabins
For those who like their creature comforts. The cabins are also on stilts and set in the forest, but with solid walls and glass and a private verandah. They are larger than the huts, with polished wooden floors and hand-crafted furniture. The en suite has a stunning view from the shower looking out into the canopy, with the exterior wall made from clear glass. Cabins have a bar fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and ceiling fan.
Getting around
Sanctuary buildings are located on the top of a ridge and you will be walking up and down hills to get around. The forest track down to the Brook's Beach is a steep bush track. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk down & more to climb up (depending on your fitness levels). Please ask if you are concerned about your mobility.
