Bolster your mental health during the depths of winter by resisting the urge to hibernate indoors.
Winter is the most yin of seasons. The chillier temperatures, harsher weather, and shorter days encourage many of us to retreat from the elements and hunker down indoors.
This physical change in gears is often accompanied by a parallel mental shift – away from the externally oriented arena of noise, motion, and activity and towards a more introspective space that values stillness, silence, and the conservation of energy.
Yet there are sound reasons to resist the call to hibernate. Many studies confirm that physical activity boosts immunity, lowers blood pressure, strengthens bones and muscles, and improves balance. Exercising when the world seems cold and grey may even yield additional bonuses, such as increased endurance, because you’re sweating less and your heart is less under load, according to Harvard Health. Cold weather workouts may also double the amount of fat burnt due to the activation of a peptide found in muscles called sarcolipin. Staying connected to the great outdoors is beneficial for other reasons too.
Although Australians have sensibly heeded sun-safe messages, almost one-third are now deficient in vitamin D, the main source of which is skin exposure to sunlight. To maintain adequate vitamin D levels in winter, researchers now recommend moderately fair-skinned people walk most days for up to 40 minutes at noon with as much bare skin exposed as feasible. Also prescribed is a daily dose of fresh air, given that most of us spend 90 percent of our time indoors. This assumes additional importance in winter, when rooms are sealed against the elements and wood-fired heaters reduce indoor air quality. Staying connected to nature can also bolster mental health, reducing the risk of ‘winter blues’. This became particularly important during pandemic-related lockdowns, with two-thirds of Australians surveyed by Plant Life Balance in 2021 reporting that connecting with nature was more important to them now than before the pandemic. In comparison to countries that have little sunlight in winter, seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression, is rare in Australia and New Zealand.
Nevertheless, people report feeling flat and lethargic at this time of year. You can take advantage of nature’s mood-boosting benefits by choosing an activity you love. Layer up and when icy winds or the threat of rain test your resolve, have something lined up to look forward to after your nature-based activity – a warm shower, a hot chocolate, or a mug of mulled wine. You might just find that winter is the perfect time to forge a deeper bond with nature. Read on for all the inspiration you’ll need to get out there.
Winter is the ideal season for hiking. Although snow-capped mountains make for a picture-postcard experience, savouring the minimalist beauty of sparse, bare countryside can be equally captivating. During the colder months, there is less rain and fewer encounters with leeches and mosquitoes. The Snowy Mountains or Blue Mountains in New South Wales offer trails leading past lakes, ravines, and rocky outcrops. Research suggests that hikers see physical activity as incidental to other goals, such as sightseeing or socialising, which means that simply strolling around your neighbourhood or meeting up with a friend in a local park can be good for you too.
From snowdrops to paper daisies, winter blooms brighten the gloomiest of days. But you needn’t sow flower seeds to reap the perks of gardening. Many people started growing their own produce during the pandemic to soothe shattered nerves and calm food security fears. Manual labour like digging and weeding supports heart health, while many studies reveal gardening reduces anxiety, tension, confusion, and fatigue. Community gardening where folks share soil, space, and supplies can also strengthen social bonds, while just a few window box herbs can make your kitchen more self-sufficient. Honing your green thumb during winter means both you and your plants are less likely to wilt.
From June, New Zealand’s alpine landscapes begin to resemble a giant snow dome. Amid this winter wonderland, snow-hopping seems the only sensible thing to do. The list of snow-themed pursuits is many and varied, ranging from skiing, snowboarding, and tobogganing to snowshoeing and snowmobiling. There’s also growing demand in the land of the long white cloud for heli-hiking or heli-skiing, where chopper drops to more remote locations amplify the sense of adventure. Once sated, you can warm up in one of the many Queenstown accommodation options, such as Kamana Lakehouse with its luxurious rooms that offer outdoor soaking tubs with views out over Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables mountain range.
It’s still possible to indulge your inner sunseeker during winter. Queensland’s Sunshine Coast harbours pristine beaches and lush subtropical rainforests complete with winter daytime temperatures above 20 degrees. This region topped last year’s Tourism Sentiment Index, which taps 1.8 billion online conversations and content pieces to establish what people really feel about a destination. Enveloped in greenery, the new HOLA (short for House of Local Art) makes a stylish bohemian bolthole from which to plot your course. You might consider getting out into the fields to pick strawberries, sinking into a hot tub or cold plunge pool at the Tank Bathhouse, or warming up with a spice blending class at Red Hot Chilli Pepper cooking school. “We use root
vegetables like potato, carrot, and sweet potato because it gives people a chance to really appreciate the flavours,” says Vicki Taylor.
Winter’s cool, crisp nights and cloud-free skies are ideal for a bit of stargazing. All you need is a blanket, a pillow, and a comfortable spot in the backyard – though a pair of binoculars or telescope are de rigueur for serious stargazers. If you are keen, you can minimise the effects of harsh city lights by escaping to rural or remote areas. In 2019, the Queensland town of Winton became Australia’s first dark sky sanctuary due to its low humidity and low light pollution. Today, it’s cementing that reputation with the opening of the open-air Gondwana Stars Observatory located within the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum. Afterwards, kick back and see how many constellations you can count at the rustic Rangelands Outback Camp located 10 kilometres out of town.
Whales are associated with compassion, solitude, and creativity. Perhaps that explains all the ‘ohs’ and ‘ahs’ that occur on whale-watching boats as people observe these giants of the deep breaching and slapping the ocean’s surface during their annual migration north. Around the start of winter, humpback, southern right, and rare blue whales make their way along Western Australia’s coastline, leaving the cool southern oceans behind in search of warmer breeding grounds off the north Kimberley coast. There are many prime spots to witness this miracle of nature, including Ningaloo Reef, Broome, and even Margaret River – for those who can’t resist a glass of wine in hand.

Image: Whitsundays sailing, by Tourism and Events Queensland
A large shoal of electric blue damselfish are swimming lazy circles around me as though in suspended animation. Beneath us there’s a forest of staghorn coral, tips glowing ghostly indigo as they provide the backdrop for barramundi cod, angelfish, coral trout, and clownfish. I’m snorkelling Hardy Reef, about 48 nautical miles off Queensland’s coastline.
Hamilton Island is one of 74 islands in the Whitsundays archipelago, but less than a handful have operational resorts. On ‘Hammo’, as the locals call it, the Beach Club overlooking Catseye Beach offers a luxury barefoot bolthole. White sand beaches and clear azure waters make the Whitsundays a postcard-perfect destination for sailing, snorkelling, scuba-diving, swimming, or simply relaxing.
Image: Waldheim Alpine Spa at Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge, Tasmania
Some of the most stunning alpine views can be found in Australia, including those from the top of Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain on a clear winter’s day. Snowy peaks, reflective lakes, mossy forests, and cool, crisp air are the rewards for those who tackle the 1,545-metre high summit – be sure to don warm clothes and sensible shoes. Many other less challenging hikes are also on offer, passing dramatic waterfalls in the Cradle Valley, Pencil Pine, and Knyvet Falls areas.
The King Billy suites at Cradle Mountain Lodge (from $1,515 per night) offer wood fires, views of the surrounding wild temperate rainforest, and the opportunity to bathe in a private outdoor steaming hot tub. The lodge’s Waldheim Alpine Spa, where treatment rooms overlook fresh mountain streams, is the place to soothe tight muscles, with its ‘hikers ritual’ blissfully blending a body scrub, mud wrap, and massage ($285 for two hours).
Image: Kings Canyon, Northern Territory
Australia’s rugged and remote Red Centre is named not just for the colour of its soil but because it is the nation’s heartland. Home to the sacred sites of Uluru and Kata Tjuta and countless generations of Indigenous caretakers, the Red Centre offers an experience that is visually spectacular and deeply awe-inspiring.
Among the region’s lesser-known sites are the soaring 300-metre high sandstone walls of Kings Canyon with its six-kilometre Rim Walk, ascending to 360-degree panoramic views over the surrounding red sand dunes. Six new glamping tents at Kings Canyon Resort (from $415 per night) offer a comfortable place to rest your head while staying immersed in nature, and are gathered in a wiltja, or shelter. The resort is also nestled in close proximity to cultural tours by Karrke Experiences ($69 per person), which explore native foods, bush medicine, and the art of Aboriginal dot paintings.
Image: Ningaloo Reef, Coral Bay, by Tourism Western Australia
Only one in three million people in the world will ever swim with a whale shark – but you can tip the odds in your favour by travelling to Western Australia’s World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef. Between March and July each year, coral spawning attracts large numbers of these grey ‘gentle giants’ with their distinctive white spots to what is the world’s largest fringing reef, 1,200 kilometres north of Perth. Swimmers reliably describe the experience as ‘breathtaking’ and ‘otherworldly’, but whale sharks are not the only marine giant you’ll encounter, with manta rays and humpback whales also frequenting these turquoise waters from August to October.
For a totally unplugged experience, Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef offers 16 off-grid, luxury safari tents, plus a communal dining lodge that’s gently lit with lanterns at night (from $1,570 per tent, per night with a three-night minimum).
Image: Paddlesteamer Emmylou cruising along the Murray River near Echuca-Moama, by Destination NSW
Being out on the water, amid all the elements, is at once relaxing and rejuvenating, making it easy to see why hiring a houseboat and cruising down the mighty Murray, one of the longest navigable rivers in the world, might be your next getaway.
Murray River Houseboats have six boats in their fleet, from the three-bedroom Mayflower (from $1,090 for four nights) through to the sleek and stylish Decadence (from $2,620 for four nights). Located in the twin towns of Echuca and Moama, two and a half hours north of Melbourne, guests can channel Amsterdam canal life by travelling up or downstream in the fully self-contained houseboats. A range of diversions, including swimming, skiing, wake boarding, canoeing, boating, and birdwatching, are also close to hand.
Image: Daintree Discovery Centre, by Tourism and Events Queensland
Tropical North Queensland’s Daintree Rainforest is believed to be the world’s oldest-living rainforest and is the only place where rainforest meets reef. Around 3,000 ancient plant species grow here, while it also supports rare, diverse, and sometimes improbable-sounding wildlife, including green possums, forest dragons, tree kangaroos, and prehistoric-looking cassowaries.
Silky Oaks Lodge offers a luxurious base from which to explore the region ($480 per person, per night with a two-night minimum, twin share). Guided walks, including the Ngadiku Dreamtime walk, illuminate the culture of the local Kuku Yalanji people. Explorations of the tranquil Mossman River are also offered in-house. The new-look Treehouse Restaurant features produce grown on the nearby Atherton Tablelands, a fertile region which produces 80 percent of all Australian-grown coffee and tropical crops.

Need to refresh, restore, and re-energise? Sounds like you need a holistic getaway. Join us as we swoon over these luxury wellness retreats – the most sophisticated self-care imaginable.
Our fast-paced modern world can disrupt even the best wellness intentions. When we are feeling fatigued and fragile, our go-to remedies such as a weekend sleep-in, a good long walk, or even a resort-style holiday, can only go so far towards restoring our tired minds and bodies. When deep rejuvenation and healing is required, we might instead consider a stay at a luxury wellness retreat.
The benefits include the chance to break bad habits, experiment with new activities, eat nourishing food that someone else has prepared, indulge in some well-deserved pampering, and connect with like-minded souls. When you return to regular life, refreshed and revitalised, you’ll be in a much better space to meet its myriad demands.
Here are some of our favourite wellness retreats to pop on your wish list. And all cater exceptionally well to plant-based diets.
Tallebudgera Valley, Queensland
gwinganna.com
Mornings at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat start with the soothing movements of Qigong on the lawn as the sun slowly edges up above the distant Pacific Ocean. According to the traditional custodians of this land in Queensland’s fertile Tallebudgera Valley, Gwinganna means lookout, and many breathtaking views await on the rainforest walks that wind through the lush 500 acres of this property. The most challenging trail leads up to an expansive yoga deck atop Mount Gwinganna, the ultimate spot for sun salutations or a blissful savasana. A changing daily program of activities includes yin-based options like yoga and pilates or yang-based options like the retreat’s signature Drums on Fire class, with challenging rounds involving a fit ball and a set of drumsticks.
Afternoons are devoted to rest and relaxation – the perfect opportunity to enjoy a treatment at the spa, which is the largest in the southern hemisphere. With 33 candlelit treatment rooms, it offers everything from classic hot stone massage through to more extreme immersion therapy using breathwork and an ice bath to train one’s stress response and strengthen the vagus nerve. The superb gluten-free, dairy-free meals feature many ingredients grown organically on site, including all greens, microgreens, herbs, and edible flowers.
Two-night Wellness Weekend Retreats start at $1,210 per person.
Nelson, New Zealand
splitapple.com
From 180-degree clifftop views to the Japanese-style spa overlooking the glittering waters of Tasman Bay, Split Apple Retreat offers the ultimate in seclusion, indulgence, and exclusivity. There are just three luxury suites at Split Apple, all with private decks and fragrant gardens, and scattered with Southeast Asian artefacts gathered on the owners’ travels. Additional facilities include an infrared sauna, steam room, yoga pavilion, meditation theatre with reclining seats, and an Onsen hot bath. A range of off-site activities, such as sea kayaking and scenic helicopter jaunts, can also be arranged. Yet the real highlight of a visit to Split Apple is the spa cuisine created by Thai-born chef and co-owner Anne Pen Lee. All ingredients are selected for their health-giving properties and most vegetables are organically grown on a nearby farm. Guests can participate in cooking lessons, if they wish.
Three-night packages start from NZ$5,383 per room.
Brooklet, New South Wales
gaiaretreat.com.au
Located in the Byron Bay hinterland, Gaia Retreat & Spa is known for barefoot luxury – or “barefoot meets Armani”, according to co-founder Olivia Newton-John. The late Australian superstar stumbled upon the property in 2005 while scattering her mother’s ashes, and felt immediately drawn to its powerful energy. Soon after, her vision for a sanctuary on this special site was brought into being. From the highest point on the property, there are 360-degree views over the ocean and nearby Nightcap Range. As well as 22 rooms, suites, and villas, the 20-acre property’s facilities include a heated saltwater swimming pool, healing day spa, detoxifying sauna, and walking tracks. Treatments at the multi award-winning spa range from Indian Marma head massage through to body polishing with a combination of native wattleseed and volcanic rock granules.
A two-night Revive package starts at $1,950 per person.
Currumbin Valley, Queensland
edenhealthretreat.com.au
Australia’s longest-running health retreat, Camp Eden (as it was then known) opened in 1985, but its original bootcamp approach to exercise and strict Pritikin diet has evolved over time. There are still substantial hikes to be enjoyed across the property’s 400 acres, as well as heart-pumping classes like boxercise, but the unofficial philosophy of ‘you do you’ means that everything is optional. “One thing that we want for you is that you leave here healthier,” says Chris van Hoof, Eden Health Retreat’s general manager. For many people, this means simply slowing down and stepping off the perpetual treadmill of over-stimulation and digital distraction.
Eden Health Retreat used a 10-month pandemic-related closure to undertake a multi-million dollar refurbishment, building 12 new luxury cabins, a purpose-built yoga pavilion, and a spacious new kitchen and dining room overlooking the spectacular grounds. The gluten-free menu focuses on seasonal wholefoods, with a wide range of mouthwatering vegan options. Presiding over Eden’s menu is nutritionist and 2015 MasterChef Australia runner-up Georgia Barnes, who seeks to nurture, nourish, and inspire with her ‘no shortcuts’ approach. “We soak things, we make things from scratch, we made our own kraut that you had on your soup today,” she explains. Also in the works is the Garden of Eden permaculture project which will expand the range of fruits and vegetables grown on the property.
Three-night packages start at $2,340 per person.
Hunter Valley, New South Wales
elysiaretreat.com.au
Elysia Wellness Retreat seeks to impart gems of wisdom that guests can gather up and take back into their daily lives. Meal planning and prepping in advance is one of the key secrets physiotherapist Melissa Ingram shares when it comes to making better food choices. “Remember to avoid complicating your life – there’s enough on your plate as it is,” she says. Executive chef Corryne Parkhill encourages guests to try something new and delicious each day. And what’s not to love about the retreat’s philosophy that eating should be one of life’s greatest pleasures?
Elysia recently refurbished 23 of its villas to better align with their natural surrounds. “We understand the impact of physical environment on our mental wellbeing, therefore the aim of our villa refurbishment was to deliver spaces that are joyful and rejuvenating,” says Shaun O’Bryan, Elysia’s general manager. In addition to its tailored personal programs incorporating spa treatments and cuisine, group classes, and consultations, the retreat offers weekend guest speakers talking on topics ranging from adrenal fatigue and face reading to storytelling for healing and identifying one’s purpose.
Two-night wellness retreat packages start from $1,235 per person.
Glenorchy, New Zealand
aro-ha.com
Sub-alpine hikes are a key component of the daily program at Aro Ha, but when you’re tracing the contours of New Zealand’s stunning Southern Alps or overlooking the sparkling waters of Lake Wakatipu, it’s easy to forget how many steps you’re taking. The retreat’s name derives from the Māori language and means ‘in the presence of divine breath’. Co-founder Damian Chaparro says that rewilding yourself in nature is essential for physical, emotional, and spiritual health. “We wanted to create a space that fosters the connection between nature, wellness, and humanity’s need for transition to a regenerative existence,” he says of the retreat, which opened in 2014.
The six- or eight-day programs include yoga, mindfulness, strength classes, and intuitive eating practices. Past guests say daily massages help soothe the sore muscles which ensue from hiking, plus there’s a world-class sauna and spa. The accommodation can be described as ‘minimalist luxury’, with celebrity guests reputed to have included Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon. The seasonally changing menu is gluten-free and garden-to-table focussed. A permaculture garden produces up to half of Aro Ha’s produce – a proportion of which is preserved by fermenting, pickling, or processing and then freezing.
Five-night Revive and Thrive packages start from NZ$6,125.
