The Health Benefits Of A Rainforest Retreat in the Daintree

Taking time out for a health retreat is one of the best things we can do for our physical and mental wellness. In an age where we’re pushed to never stop, spending some time amongst nature, simply relaxing and taking stock of one’s self is important for a happy and healthy life.

The Daintree Ecolodge is a truly rewarding health retreat in Australia, blessed with verdant rainforest, a pampering day spa, gourmet dining and treetop accommodation. Here are just some of the ways you can benefit from a rainforest retreat at the Daintree Ecolodge.

How A Rainforest Retreat Is Perfect For Your Health

Re-centre Surrounded by Nature

While staying at the Daintree Ecolodge, you’ll spend every day surrounded by beautiful nature. From the moment you wake up in your tranquil bayan, you’re greeted with the sounds of native wildlife and views of the rainforest from your private balcony.

This health retreat in Queensland also offers a range of explorations through the stunning region, including snorkelling and scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef and wildlife-spotting cruises down the Daintree River. You can also embark on self-drive trips to Port Douglas, Cape Tribulation and Mossman Gorge to discover picturesque beaches, swimming holes and ancient rainforest.

Relax at the Wellness Spa

There are few better ways to indulge and relax on a health retreat than with a rejuvenating treatment at the Daintree Wellness Spa. Surrounded by the rainforest and a tranquil waterfall, it’s an otherworldly spa retreat using environmentally-sustainable Australian botanicals and organic products.

Treatments like the Walu Balbal facial, Julma massage and the Kambarr sensory journey promise feelings of euphoria and complete nourishment. The spa also has connections with local practitioners offering meditation, pilates, yoga, reiki and art therapy.

Eat Healthy with Local Food & Organic Produce

The food at the Daintree Ecolodge makes for a truly opulent health retreat in Australia. We are fortunate enough to be surrounded by the lands and reef waters of Far North Queensland. From the wharves of Port Douglas to the verdant pastures of the Atherton Tablelands, and tropical savannas that are nestled in between we actively source and stock our pantry and kitchen with the freshest and most sustainable ingredients to produce locally-inspired healthy and enriching menus for our guests.

Relax on the deck of the Julaymba Restaurant or enjoy a private dinner on the edge of the lagoon. You’ll be served dishes such as salt and pepper crocodile, local reef fish, kangaroo tataki and house-made sorbet.
