Your Sunshine Coast Retreat. Choose Your Experience.
We discount longer stays to help weary travelers to experience the profound changes three nights+ brings.
Only four bungalows | 13+ years | 4000+ people | 400+ five-star reviews
| Stay min 3 nights. Use the facilities. Leave unchanged — we refund you.
We encourage you to stay longer, as we know (from 4000 previous guests' experiences) that your benefits will be greater and you'll likely wish you did.
You save more and experience even more profound states the longer you allow yourself to stop and take a breath.
We’ve watched the patterns of 3 nights+ happen thousands of times.
You could say that we earn more from longer stays (and we do), but the reality is that we discount longer stays to help weary travelers experience the profound changes that 3 or 4 nights brings.
2 nights here with us on the mountain is still great, yet experience tells us that most guests say things like “I was just starting to wind down” and “I’d love to stay another night” but plans were set in place.
** Prices are relevant as of September 2026 and may change at any time. The prices quotes per night are for couples. Solo travelers may be eligible for further savings.

The body decompresses, the mind gives you a break as you let go, you feel calmer and lighter as you finally invest in yourself again. Completely restore (body and mind), revitalise (energy and state) reconnect (to purpose, priorities, peace and / or partner).
Choose the stay that suits you. You’ll feel the shift the moment you walk in, more of it with each day, then carry it home for weeks.
Most people opt to use the facilities, but not all want to so we keep this as separate. Once retreaters get here and see what they can do and hear the stories of what happens they are usually all in. But, we encourage all to seek out their own experiences. Some options to consider:

— Mel B., Brisbane Couple
"Alaya Ascend in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland is truly exceptional. Nestled in a serene and lush setting, we were instantly transported to a place of peace and tranquility. What really sets it apart are the hosts Craig and Molly. Their warmth and attention to detail made us feel like we were visiting old friends. Alaya is a hidden gem that I can't recommend enough. We will definitely be back!"
Craig intuitively guided me through rediscovering what is most important. To anyone looking for that next level but unsure where to find it, this is the place.”
