Ideally situated in the heart of the Sunshine Coast, close to the cosmopolitan Sunshine Coast Hinterland villages of Montville and Maleny and an easy 20-minute drive to the world-famous beaches of Mooloolaba and Alexandra Headlands. The seaside communities of Noosa and Coolum are a comfortable drive also with access to some of the most stunning scenery Australia has to offer.

Alaya Escape has been running since 2006 and owned and redeveloped by us since late 2013. Our business model caters for couples and individuals who are wanting to get away and recharge themselves and follow our 4 R's and: Reconnect, Relax, Recharge and Renew.

We are also increasingly offering structured wellness and development retreats for individuals, couples and small groups / teams. This will expand over the next short period towards being the predominant full-time focus.

The inclusion of the imported Canadian red cedar sauna (made on the Sunshine Coast) and the Australian-made floatation tank (sensory deprivation tank), as well as the group training and yoga room have lead us towards our operation as a health and wellbeing retreat since late 2019.

Amalgamating our 2 existing businesses will bring the collective focus into one.

Organisational experiences have centred around the mining, education and financial industries, as well as individual coaching.
