Arajilla Retreat has built a reputation as one of Australia's top luxury retreats over the past twenty five years, providing the perfect base to visitors of Lord Howe Island. In May and September 2014 the retreat will play host to a dedicated wellness and yoga programme being delivered by resident Yoga and Ayurvedic Consultants, Scott and Kim Allan.

Going beyond the traditional concept of a pampering weekend or spa retreat that many Australian spa resorts offer, the four day programme is designed to promote ongoing health and wellness.

Staying in one of the luxury suites, guests will experience daily yoga and ayurvedic consultations, hands-on cooking demonstrations, talks on Ayurvedic healthy eating principles, learn skills to improve mental and physical wellbeing and Ayurvedic Massage.

With plenty of free time guests can enjoy the beauty of the island, surf or swim in the crystal clear waters, walk along the beach or simply relax.

The aim is that all guests will learn skills on how to steady the mind and nourish their bodies, giving them the tools to take home and easily incorporate these learnings into everyday life, with no fuss.

The retreat will be hosted from 2-6th May and 12-16th September 2014, more information can be found by visiting
