Deep Rest Retreat
MASSAGE YOGA LOVE
Your retreat includes. Daily yoga, Massoga® Massage Yoga, meditation, hiking, walks, nourishing meals, time by the pool, optional private massage or yoga, and plenty of free time to explore the tropical island lifestyle. Some retreats are themed and have guest facilitators so there will be additional workshops for a deep dive in the theme. Your senses will be enlivened on retreat with essential oils, nurturing touch and soothing music, you will be immersed in the experience of deep relaxation and reconnection.
We recommend Massogis arrive on retreat completely relaxed and ready to slow down and accept what comes. Consider arriving a few days early to settle in. Some retreats are designed with a soft opening and closing. Surrender with six nights and seven days, or arrive on Wednesday in time for the first activity and depart on Sunday (4 nights & 5 days) if your schedule requires

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 have time. We highly recommend it, on trips to this location to plan this retreat, we never want to leave! There are plenty of affordable accommodation options on and off the island - we'll leave that to you to plan.
*not included in retreat packages
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 other parts of Australia, it’s well worth it. Enjoy warm, tropical days for this nourishing retreat experience.

"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 7.30pm, so we recommend flying in the Tuesday night and hoping straight on a ferry where we will meet you and bring you home to luxury! Or arrive the weekend before and let yourself decompress before commencing retreat. Official retreat activities begin on Wednesday afternoon so you will have plenty of time to settle in.
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!

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