Introduction by Nancy Chuda Founder and Editor in Chief of LuxEcoLiving and Co-founder of Healthy Child Healthy World.
If you haven’t had a chance to visit Australia you may want to book your trip to include an exceptional two night stay at Gaia Retreat and Spa, a wellness opportunity unlike anything you have ever experienced.
Founded by Olivia Newton-John and Gregg Caves, Gaia offers visitors serenity, beauty and peace as well as the opportunity for ultimate relaxation. Chosen as one of Australia’s top Luxury Hotel destinations, this retreat reflects Olivia’s personal elegance and connection with the environment, something she has had a strong affinity with for many years.
Gaia Retreat and Spa is not just another celebrity driven venture. Many have tried to use their names to promote business opportunities. What makes this different is the personal experience Olivia herself has ingrained into each and every program the retreat offers.
Whether you choose whole grain bread and muesli for your morning meal or experience one of their fabulous signature massages, Olivia and her partner Gregg have a hands on approach to ensure that every guest leaves feeling grace for the gratitude of a true healing.
Gaia Retreat & Spa is among the top 10 celebrity-owned hotels of the world by TripAdvisor® – the world’s most trusted source of travel advice – as determined by TripAdvisor® editors and travellers. In addition, it received the 2010 TripAdvisor® Travelers’ Choice Awards for Best Relaxtion/Spa – World and South Pacifc.
Gregg Caves does more than manage the day to day operations of the business. In a highly competitive industry in a country where nature abounds and remains the single most sought after attraction for tourists, Cave took a leap of faith in designing this retreat. He imparted his love of true indigenous architecture and artifacts and created a treasure in the surrounds and atmosphere. Whether seated outdoors in the covered veranda sipping a delicious cup of tea, guests relax in total eco- luxury surrounded by silk pillows from India and custom made furnishings from Bali. Only sounds of Kookuburra’s compete with the beautiful and meditative archive of musical selections which harmonize in this natural setting.
“At Gaia you can check in any day that suits you. We have a selection of specialised packages, services and facilities with retreat style accommodation and the award winning, on site Gaia Day Spa. Our comprehensive Focus Health Packages, Fitness, Detox, Weight Loss, Meditation, Art and Yoga are personalized package programs tailored specifically to your needs, giving you the space to OWN the Gaia experience.”
