Alaya Ascend is a Sunshine Coast Hinterland Retreat. Not a B&B. Not a resort. Not a structured retreat. A private mountain return to yourself, restored. To your partner. To what matters.
A private reset for anybody who hasn't stopped and prioritised themselves long enough to even catch their breath.
Seminyak is our pool-view room, complete with spa and fireplace, set up high overlooking the entire retreat with some of the best views of Alaya Ascend. Complete with bathroom, kitchen, deck and all amenities.
Owners favourite room.
**Float tank sessions, cedar cold / hot tubs, massages and sauna are available - inquire for more information.**
Seminyak bungalow is suitable for solos and couples who want a compact and unique space, full of charm, privacy and enviable views - like all other rooms at Alaya Ascend.
Seminyak is highly regarded by all who stay here and offers a secluded space that is easily closed up to become a relaxation haven for spar, fireplace or dinner on the deck. You can wake up listening to the oasis pool waterfall or reflect upon its luminous blue lighting at night on your deck.
What we offer:
** Experience a minimum of three nights at our retreat, use the facilities. Leave unchanged – we refund you. **
Your nervous system has been running along the highway of life fixed in second gear for months. Possibly years. You cannot think your way out of that. You cannot push through it. You cannot rest your way out of it in a single night.
We have built our property to help over 4000 solos and couples with deep resets at Alaya Ascend through experiencing our 3R’s: Restore – Revitalise – Reconnect.
The focus being to wind back the damage and dysfunction caused by ‘the business of busyness’ and perpetual doingness.
The 3Rs are not a program. They are a sequence with one stage creating the conditions for the next. In order.
Restore – Stop, drop stress, ‘busyness’ and ‘doingness’ and begin to let go and regenerate (empty the cup). Float tank. Sauna. Cold plunge. The cup empties.
Revitalise – Doing more of what you want to do and in a way that reinvigorates you deeply and increases your feelings of vitality and a capacity (fill the cup). Mountain air. Your pace, your choices. The cup fills with more Energy, time, attention. Freedom to stop and finally do you for once.
Reconnect – to your priorities, purpose, partner and peace of mind. Naturally and organically after Restoring and Revitalising.
Focus on individual Restoration first and then everything else looks after itself.
We set you up and orient you with the retreat, the nearby attractions, restaurants, beaches and other options.
You choose whether you want to decompress deeply through our float tank, outdoor red cedar sauna, cold and hot tub or just get around the pool, read a book, retreat to your room and a warm fire by the in-room spa or maybe even a couple of massages.
Point being, you choose your experience (with our guidance and support) we set it up and you step into it when you want to. Your retreat, your choices, your way at your leisure.
