GOOD FOR THE SOL

A luxe new wellness escape arrives in the rainforests of the Gold Coast Hinterland

- 

Inhale, one-two-three... Exhale, one-two-three... The rhythm repeats, gently guiding me into stillness as I surrender to the 120-minute Signature SOL Transcendence Ritual. What follows is a deeply immersive sound and sensory journey, where the intuitive touch of my therapist melts tension away through a bioenergetic aromatherapy massage enhanced by crystal hot stones. The experience clears my mind and elevates my spirit, grounding me in the present moment. A holistic facial follows, featuring the consciously crafted botanicals of Byron Bay's Synthesis Organics, and the ritual concludes with a celestial crown and scalp treatment.

I am at the newly opened SOL Elements, nestled in the heart of Mount Tamborine. It’s Australia’s first ‘floating’ elemental bathhouse, submerged in the subtropical rainforest, fronting a tranquil lake situated on Tamborine Mountain Glades in the Gold Coast hinterlands. Walking into the oasis I am welcomed with a Yin Yang Zen Garden. A blooming Eastern Red Bud tree occupies the centre of the open-air centerpiece, a symbol of the ever-changing seasons of life.
