| Stay three nights. Use the facilities. Leave unchanged — we refund you. 

Most people book two nights the first time and most leave saying the same thing: they should’ve booked three. There’s a reason.

Research puts the real shift around the 72-hour mark — the 3 Day Effect, where the mind quietens instead of just slowing. We’ve watched it happen 4,000 times. The three options are below.

— 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.”
Tosh T., Sunshine Coast

— Derryn H., 20th Anniversary

"Tranquil Paradise! We stayed for our 20th wedding anniversary and it was exactly what we needed. This retreat exceeded our expectations. Craig was absolutely amazing—very genuine, thoughtful and perfectly suited for this retreat. Thank you for an amazing stay."

 Individual restoration first. Relationship reconnection follows naturally.

This is what you’re investing in: A new feeling. Less strain. More vitality. That glow of connection you remember having.
