Couples needing a re-boot, new mums feeling the overwhelm, and people experiencing a cancer diagnosis are just some of the participants being supported by Billabong Retreat with its new Specialist Wellness Day Retreats. 

To better support and cater for a growing range of specialised needs in today’s modern lifestyle, Billabong Retreat has created five Specialty Day Retreats to launch with experts in each field. 

These new specialty day experiences will complement Billabong Retreat’s current longer offerings, 2- and 3-night retreats that include delicious wholefoods, daily yoga, meditation and education workshops to empower and inspire. 

Billabong Retreat is an award winning wellness retreat founded and opened in 2010 by Paul von Bergen whose vision was to create a unique place where people could come and reconnect to nature and life within and around them. The 26- room retreat is located on 12 acres of natural bushland in Maraylya, just 45 minutes from the Sydney CBD.
