Gaia Retreat & Spa

Nestled in the stunning surrounds of Bundjalung Country, Gaia’s story began organically, inspired by friendship, dreams and synchronicity. With a shared vision of heart and healing, this piece of paradise in the Byron Bay Hinterland was born, and continues to evolve with deep grace and gratitude to the land today.

Originally founded in 2005 by Gregg Cave, Ruth Kalnin, Olivia Newton-John, and Warwick Evans (affectionately known as G.R.O.W.), Gaia Retreat & Spa has become one of Australia’s most awarded and globally renowned wellness retreats. Serenely situated on 20 acres in the healing heartland of Australia, Gaia’s new custodians, Z1Z, seek to enhance and elevate your wellness journey.

Committed to honouring the founding vision of Gaia, we are dedicated to providing boutique healing experiences where you can surrender, slow down and nurture your being. As curators of truly unique Australian experiences, we pride ourselves on developing meaningful places that enhance the health and wellbeing of individuals.
