Best wellness retreats near Perth

Most people looking for a retreat are really deciding how long they can be away: an afternoon, a Saturday, a long weekend. So this guide is arranged by length rather than by philosophy. It covers day retreats you can drive to and be home from, hills properties for a weekend, and residential silent retreats in the South West — with what each one includes and where it actually is.

Oria Best ofBest day retreat

Kookaburra Yoga

Bedfordale · Yoga 4.9Google

Ten acres of bushland at Bedfordale with a seasonal creek, native forest and an octagonal yoga shala, running a one-day silent retreat every month. Being in the hills rather than the South West means you can do it and be home the same evening, which is what makes a first retreat likely to actually happen. Weekend retreats and self-guided personal stays run through the year.
- Monthly one-day silent retreat
- Ten bushland acres

Redgum Retreat

Dwellingup · Retreats, Nature & Experiences 5.0Google

A rammed-earth house purpose-built in 2012 for groups of up to eighteen: eight ensuite bedrooms, a large common room and kitchen, and the Bibbulmun Track at the boundary under a kilometre from Dwellingup. Yoga studios and art teachers hire the whole place for weekends and either self-cater or bring in local caterers, so the shape of the retreat is yours.

Frieda Yoga & Hiking

Cottesloe · Yoga 5.0Google

Yoga hikes — a four-kilometre walk at Bells Rapids or up to the Golden View lookout above Mundaring Weir, followed by a slow-flow class and afternoon tea. It is the lowest-commitment thing in this guide and the easiest to say yes to, and it suits people who go slightly mad sitting still for a whole day.
- Yoga hikes around Perth
- Half a day rather than a whole one
- Yin and vinyasa classes in Cottesloe
- Weekend retreats in Balingup

How we chose

What we considered

We looked at how long each retreat runs, how far it is from Perth, what is included — meals, accommodation, teaching — whether it can be booked by an individual or only by a group, and what the setting actually is. A retreat is a significant amount of money and time, so the guide says plainly which ones you book as one person and which ones you book as a group of eighteen.

Best Of guides are editorial. No practice paid to appear here; paid placements on Oria Haven are always labelled Featured.

Which one should you choose?

Pick by your situation

Choose Kookaburra Yoga if you want a day of silence without leaving the hills.
Choose Awakened Wellness Retreats if you want a day retreat with lunch and a theme.
Choose Spanda School Retreats if you are ready for three days or more in silence.
Choose Natures Paradise Health Retreat if you want a residential stay with the facilities on site.
Choose Redgum Retreat if you are booking for a whole group.

Common questions

Before you go

A day retreat runs for one day and you go home at the end of it — usually a single site, a few sessions and a meal. A residential retreat includes accommodation and runs from a weekend upward, which changes it considerably: the quiet compounds overnight, and there is no going back to your own kitchen.

A day retreat is typically the price of a very good class plus lunch. Residential retreats scale with the accommodation more than the teaching. Whole-property hire is quoted per night for the building — Serpentine Retreat Centre publishes $500 a night for its cottage, $1,600 for the 23-bed wing and $3,000 for the 46-bed wing.

Yes, and several here are built for it. Kookaburra Yoga takes self-guided personal retreat stays, Spanda Schoolu2019s silent retreats are booked individually, and Natureu2019s Paradise near Mundaring runs residential programs for adults. The whole-property venues — Redgum, Ikigai, Serpentine — are hired by a group rather than joined as an individual.

Warm layers for sitting still, something to walk in, and less than you think. Most retreats provide mats and props and will send a list. If the retreat is silent, leave the work phone at home rather than in your bag — that is the part people underestimate.

Several. Kookaburra Yoga is at Bedfordale, Natureu2019s Paradise is on a hilltop outside Mundaring surrounded by state forest, Ikigai is at Woodridge and Serpentine Retreat Centre is about an hour south-east. Redgum is further out at Dwellingup, on the Bibbulmun Track.

A closer look

Five structured days at Anapana Ridge in the Perth Hills, built around a three-day cold-pressed juice fast rather than a lie-in-a-hammock escape. Mornings open with movement and meditation, the middle of the day moves through breathwork, sessions on fasting and emotional wellbeing, ice baths and sauna, and a sound healing, with sharing circles and quiet time between. The fast is broken with smoothies and soups before you head home.

Pace: Structured and intensive
