Wellness
ALL DEVICES UNPLUGGED. LOVED ONES RECONNECTED. INNER GLOW RECHARGED. CORE MEMORIES UNLOCKED.
Rise with the sun and fill your cup. Breakfast with sandy toes. Sea breezes gently whispering as your hammock sways. Go forest bathing with fairy flowers in the dappled light of giant karri and tingle trees. Drift weightless in an impossibly aquamarine lagoon. Worries float away. Soar into the blue, cruising a string of pearl-white coves. Have it all to yourself, just you and your favourite others. Take a fish and chip supper where the forest meets the sea. Lick salty fingers. Sink into a hot tub with a glass of bubbles. Snuggle with a shiraz by the firelight. The Milky Way so close, you could almost touch it. Do yoga on the ocean. Let the waves wash over your fish pose. Discover inner quiet. Forget the modern world… and become a yogi.
