The retreat

A personalised retreat is the perfect way to unwind

Imagine a place where time slows down, where the only sounds are birdsong and rustling eucalyptus, and where every element is designed to restore mind, body and spirit. That is Arinya — a wellness retreat experience unlike any other in Daylesford.

A philosophy rooted in wholeness

At Arinya we believe true wellness emerges when mind, body and spirit come into harmony. From the grounding energy of the rammed earth architecture to the nourishing farm-to-table meals prepared by Daylesford and Macedon caterers, each element of your stay has been thoughtfully curated to support the journey inward.

Nestled within 80 hectares of Hepburn Regional Park, just 90 minutes from Melbourne, the retreat offers the rare gift of complete sanctuary in one of Victoria's most healing landscapes — 'the spa capital of Australia'.

Your journey from arrival to departure

The cool earthen walls embrace you as natural light filters through the artistic installations. Settle in, then begin with a welcoming massage from one of our in-house therapists, melting away tension you did not know you were carrying.

Mornings can begin with outdoor yoga as the sun rises over the park, your mat placed on the earth beneath towering trees. Days unfold with intentional spaciousness — walking trails, a treatment in the room you are already relaxing in, a visit to the mineral springs — and evenings gather around a shared farm-to-table meal by the open fire.

Therapies that transform

Our in-house massage and natural therapies range from relaxation and hot stone to remedial and deep tissue, plus botanical facials, skin rejuvenation and the Arinya signature treatment. Each session is tailored to you, and every treatment happens in the house rather than a clinic.

What makes Arinya truly unique

Unlike larger retreats where you are one of many, Arinya accommodates a maximum of ten guests across four thoughtfully designed bedrooms, and the whole property is always exclusively yours — perfect for couples, friends, family or corporate wellness retreats.

We have made transformative wellness accessible: the Couples Getaway starts at $950 midweek, the Intimate Retreat For Two offers two all-inclusive nights, and groups can share the Group Escape package.

Arinya workshop space for hire

Midweek retreat hire from 7 am to 3 pm gives your group a boardroom-sized table, comfortable seating, a cosy open fire, free WiFi, the lounge and gardens, and a kitchen for catering. Wellbeing services and catering are available at additional cost — see the packages below and call us to plan the day.
