Need A Reset? This Hinterland Health Retreat Is Celebrating The Festive Season With Luxury Offers
total serenity
By Victoria Lewis | 5th November 2026Ladies and gents, it’s been a busy year. Between work deadlines, family commitments, and a healthy social calendar, the words “where has the year gone” have been commonplace in everyone’s vocabulary. To remedy the hustle of the year that was, we vote that it’s about time to reset and return to the present with an all-inclusive hinterland retreat. What do you say?
For the first time in more than two decades, Currumbin Hinterland’s premier wellness destination, Eden Retreat, will remain open in the lead-up to Christmas, inviting you to slow down, rest, and reset before the chaos of the festive season truly begins. As an all-inclusive experience encompassing a dedicated wellness program, balanced meals, and access to a treetop spa, plus the added bonus of a daily prize draw and a free night’s accommodation offer, this year, you don’t have to leave home this holiday season; Eden Retreat is where your worries will simply melt away.
An elevated December wellness program
This year, we want to move into Christmas and the new year feeling balanced and truly restored. Eden Retreat staying open until 22 December for the first time in over two decades reflects a broader societal shift towards balance. Rather than heading into Christmas already depleted, people are increasingly choosing restorative staycations close to home, trading late nights and two months of festive excess for sleep, movement, nourishing food, and quiet time in nature.
It comes as Eden Retreat General Manager Ash Martin says guests tell her December is one of the year’s most demanding months. “You don’t need to get on a plane or take weeks off. A couple of nights in the hinterland can be enough to sleep well, move your body, eat well and head into Christmas with a clearer head.”
To celebrate the occasion, a refreshed wellness program will be unleashed in December that stays in keeping with Eden Retreats self-guided ethos. Guests can enjoy their choice of up to eight wellness activities per day, including yoga, meditation, Pilates, circuit training, guided walks and educational wellness workshops, alongside access to Eden’s facilities and treatment offerings, making for the ultimate escape, no matter what’s on your itinerary.
We aren’t talking just any wellness retreats either; they’ve got a Cryotherapy Chamber, ZeroBody Dry Float Therapy, Club Mud, and a fully-equipped gym (and that’s not even the half of it).
12 Days of Eden
To really get into the festive spirit during the pre-Christmas season, the retreat is introducing ‘12 Days of Eden’, where, from 11 to 22 December, guests staying at the retreat will go into the draw to win a luxury prize each day.
Prizes include wellness experiences, premium products, and exclusive Eden experiences, with a new prize revealed each day across Eden’s social channels. All that’s to say, make sure you stay up to date here.
Get a free night’s accommodation
And because the festivities don’t stop there, Eden Retreat is offering guests who book a four-night stay for any date before 31 January and get one of those nights’ accommodation on the house (equating to a generous 25% off your total). In what is a truly choose-your-own-adventure kind of experience, your booking will include three nutritionally balanced meals each day, snacks and refreshments, and access to up to eight wellness activities daily. Welcome to your official time of rest and relaxation. Book your pre-Christmas reset here.
