THE Gold Coast in Queensland is well-known for its sun, surf, sand and theme parks. You might never have considered escaping to a calming wellness retreat in this flashy, tourist-packed destination about an hour’s drive from Brisbane. But there is a wide range of luxury spas and bathhouses to visit in this balmy spot.

Among them are Chuan Spa at The Langham, Gold Coast, and Spa by JW at JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa, both great for a few hours of pampering. Further afield in the hinterland is the well-established Eden Health Retreat featuring comprehensive wellness programmes and tranquil accommodation. There is also the new SOL Elements slated to be ready in December 2024.

Welcome to Eden

As your car drives through lush landscape leading to Eden, you take a deep breath and soak in the surroundings. This property is nestled in Currumbin Valley, about an hour’s drive away from Gold Coast.
