A MAGNETIC RETREAT
Luxury beachfront location + an average of 29 degrees + daily Massoga Massage Yoga love.
Escape the cold next May for twice the relaxation in tropical North Queensland.
5 DAYS OF SURRENDER
MAGNETIC ISLAND, TROPICAL NORTH QUEENSLAND
A STUNNING LOCATION
Magnetic Island - or Maggi as it’s affectionately known to locals - is one of Australia’s hidden, untouched gems. A short ferry ride from Townsville, the relaxation starts as soon as you step foot in the terminal. If you’re a local, you know exactly what to expect. If you’re making the trek from down south, it’s well worth it. Enjoy warm, sunny days at the height of winter, and cool nights to have you sleeping like a baby. A refreshing change
from mid-May in Melbourne.
LUXURY BEACHFRONT ACCOMMODATION
We are thrilled to have secured 3 x private residences right on the beachfront of the gorgeous Horseshoe Bay. Horseshoe Bay boasts stunning views, walking tracks to hidden beaches only accessible by foot or by boat, and if you love adventure, open water jetski tours, sunset horseriding and more (we'll ensure you have free time to explore these fabulous options). Our Balinese-style tropical beach houses are newly-built, have huge open plan living spaces for plenty of down time, and both have their own private pools.
With an in-house chef, you won't want to leave the property!
There are a limited number of premium King and Queen rooms (Deluxe Bliss and Blissx2), so get in quick if you're want to secure your own private piece of paradise.
"Simply put – that was a fabulous weekend. I loved it. Such an awesome location, so peaceful. Great food! And the adjustors you chose - all great!! Also, I am unfollowing people on Twitter hand over fist, to reduce it’s impact on my life 😊 So, officially I will attend next year!"

GETTING THERE
Your return ferry ticket to the Island is included in your package, so you just need to make your way to Townsville. Jetstar have direct flights from Melbourne and often have sales - keep an eye out for Friday Fare Frenzy, every Friday between 4-8pm. You could get one as low as $89! This flight lands around 7pm, so we recommend flying in the Tuesday night and staying a night in Townsville, before making your way to the Island Wednesday morning. Or, there are plenty of accommodation options on the Island if you prefer to head straight there, with the last ferry running at 10:30pm.
Virgin and Qantas fly to Townsville via Brisbane or Sydney, so it's a longer trip and often more expensive. However, the option is there if you'd prefer to fly in on the day and head straight to the retreat. Locals, you know exactly where you're headed!
We'll pick you all up from the Nelly Bay terminal on arrival and chauffeur you to your home base.
MASSAGE YOGA LOVE
And of course, there's the Massoga Massage Yoga. Surrender with four nights and five days of daily immersions, meditations, yoga flow, nourishing meals and plenty of free time to explore the tropical island lifestyle. We'll also immerse you in essential oils, including a workshop where you'll create your own special blend to take home.
We recommend Massogis arrive on retreat completely relaxed and ready to slow down and accept what comes.
We also know it's nice to have some idea of what to expect, so here's a sample schedule to get you in the mood for some Magnetic Massoga Massage Yoga magic.

Departure from 3pm
If you do fly Jetstar, the direct flight back to Melbourne leaves around 7:45pm, so you will have plenty off time to get back to the mainland and catch it.Of course, you're welcome to stay longer if you can get the time off. We highly recommend it, as after we did our location visits to plan this retreat, we didn't want to leave! There are plenty of affordable accommodation options on and off the island - we'll leave that to you to plan.

DIGITAL FREE
Your retreat can also be a digital free zone. By request, we will look after your phone for the weekend, with a daily 1 hour opportunity to check in with loved on if you choose. Our 2018 guests found this was the perfect way to completely switch off, and some even continued to allocate 'digital detoxes' into their daily life! It's amazing what turning off can do.
