The Best Australian Wellness Retreats to Book This Spring

Created to support seasonal renewal, the Seasonal Balance Retreat at Aurora Spa & Bathhouse in Victoria invites guests to slow down, release tension and reconnect with balance.

Returning this spring in the peaceful surrounds of Sorrento, the retreat combines guided Bathhouse experiences with calming wellness practices designed to support rest, clarity and wellbeing. A gentle movement class opens the body and calms the mind, followed by grounding practices focused on restoring energy and supporting seasonal wellbeing.

A wholesome seasonal lunch offers nourishment, while a rejuvenating bathing experience softens the body and invites deep rest. Together, these experiences create space to restore the nervous system, reconnect with body and mind, and move into spring feeling refreshed and renewed.

Hosted by Lionsgate Wellness and guided by equine-assisted therapy practitioner, trauma-informed yoga teacher and counsellor Maxime Willems, Horse Wisdom is a three-hour experience offering a unique opportunity to experience the calming, intuitive presence of horses – without riding or pressure.

Through guided, ground-based interactions, you’ll spend time with a herd of highly intuitive horses in a peaceful natural setting, learning how they communicate through body language, energy and presence. Mindfulness, breath awareness and gentle nervous system regulation invite you to slow down, reconnect with your body and notice what emerges in the moment.

Surrounded by nature and the quiet wisdom of the herd, this trauma-informed approach to equine-assisted healing creates space for emotional insight and a deeper connection to your intuition. The experience concludes with a nourishing light snack and time for integration at Heartwood Farm. No prior horse experience is required.
