Luxury wellness retreats are a splurge, and the winner of the Spa & Wellness Awards' Best Resort Focused on Wellness is Elements of Byron.
The rise of luxury wellness escapes is driven by the same energy as members-only health clubs, where the itinerary is slower and eco-friendliness is a priority.
The 2025 Spa & Wellness Awards spotlight the best spa destinations and wellness centres around Australia and New Zealand, with a focus on sustainability.
At these retreats, the itinerary is slower, holiday-goers are excited to be rejuvenated by nature and eco-friendliness is a priority.
Elements of Byron stretches across 50 acres of rainforest, eucalypt, wetland and dune landscapes at the doorstep of Belongil Beach, anchored by the award-winning Osprey Spa.
The author summarizes: Elements of Byron is the best wellness resort.
