1. Cairns Rainforest Retreat
Delicious breakfast supplies, self-catering facilities, and nearby dining options.
Reasonable pricing for a luxurious rainforest retreat with cooking facilities.
Peaceful and secluded rainforest location, a short drive from Cairns city.
Immaculate and private wooden cottages with an inviting infinity pool and deck.
If you’re looking for a retreat with a set itinerary, this tropical hotel offers a planned getaway that will whisk you away for seven days and six nights to the sanctuary that is Mission Beach. Imagine sitting back at your rainforest hut with a glass of fresh juice in hand, until it’s time for meditative yoga by the beach or studio. Experience breathing along to the natural sounds of wildlife when you take your morning Vinyasa Flow Yoga classes. And follow that up with healing Yin Yoga classes in the afternoon. You can then renew your senses with an invigorating massage at the day spa or by diving into the outdoor pool.
By the end, guests will feel completely nourished, especially after a week of eating vegetarian cuisine made from locally grown ingredients.

Hide away from the world and reconnect with yourself when you stay at Sramana, a Self-Healing Retreat Center found in Fairyland House. This haven is tucked away in a peaceful rainforest location in Kuranda, a mountain village that’s 38 minutes by car from the city of Cairns.
Here, you’ll be following a daily program that begins with soothing 7:30am yoga and meditation. After which, guests can savor the fresh tropical fruits and smoothies over a late breakfast, to be followed by more meditation throughout the day.
Dinner is one of the highlights here as you can pick your own salad leaves from the garden and partake in a vegan dinner buffet.
