Fremantle's Spanda School runs structured silent retreats built on non-dual meditation, gentle movement and rest — one-day sittings at the school itself, and three- and seven-day residentials at Donnelly Lakes near Pemberton. Two formats serve different depths of practice: a guided version for those newer to silence, and longer unguided sits for experienced meditators. Around a hundred students come through each year, some from interstate and overseas.

Retreats, Nature & Experiences in Perth
Holly Dutton teaches yoga at City Beach and runs residential retreats in WA's south-west — most recently a four-day Margaret River weekend combining daily yoga, sauna and ice bath sessions, breathwork, meditation, bush walks and a cacao ceremony, fully catered. Shared and single rooms from $1,495. Private retreats for groups of six or more can be arranged at Rottnest, Yallingup, Ferguson Valley and the Swan Valley.
A long-standing Wembley day spa built around multi-hour 'spa journey' packages — massage, facials, body therapies and healing treatments using organic Sodashi and Li'tya products, with sauna and light-therapy rooms on site. A team of around forty therapists runs six days a week, with late Thursday evenings. Pregnancy-safe rituals and men's treatments sit alongside the classic day-escape packages.
An adults-only retreat set in its own jarrah forest in the Perth Hills, about half an hour from the city. Self-contained lodges each have a kitchen, log fire and outdoor heated jacuzzi, and the on-site day spa — massage, facials, rituals and wraps, pregnancy pampering — takes casual day visitors as well as lodge guests, Monday to Saturday. In-lodge dining, platters and picnic hampers round out a stay.
Eight luxury chalets tucked into Perth Hills bushland at Mount Helena, each with a private spa on its deck. The day spa offers massage and facial treatments, and The Lounge restaurant and bar keeps a stay self-contained — breakfast hampers arrive at the chalet door. Accommodation is strictly adults-only; stays start from $495 a night.
A small, purpose-built adults-only retreat on a secluded hilltop outside Mundaring, surrounded by state forest and national park, running residential programs since 2013. Themed retreats span day visits through to multi-day stays — yoga, forest walks, mindfulness and spa-focused formats — with a swim pond, gym, infrared sauna, mineral baths and a library on the property. Airport pick-up is complimentary for retreat guests.
A day spa and small overnight retreat in the Swan Valley with an unusually broad wellness menu: massage, facials, clay treatments, hydrotherapy and floatation therapy, plus The Oasis — sauna, ice bath and spa sessions. Day visitors are explicitly welcome, six days a week, with Oasis and float sessions running Sundays too. Three luxury rooms serve those who stay over.
Structured retreat packages in the Swan Valley, from single-day resets built around yoga, meditation and spa treatments through to multi-day residential programs. Day formats start at $395, the one-day yoga and meditation retreat runs at $525 with group rates, and longer packages extend to five days. Retreats run Monday to Friday, booked online.
A retreat centre on ten acres of bushland in the Perth hills, with a seasonal creek, native forest and an octagonal yoga shala. Alongside weekly classes it runs a monthly one-day silent retreat, longer weekend retreats through the year, self-guided personal retreat stays and long-form teacher training. Retreat days fold in bush walks on the property.
Outdoor group fitness, running clubs and personal training held at beaches and parks across the western suburbs — Leighton, City Beach, Swanbourne, Mosman Park, Peppermint Grove and Dalkeith — plus lunchtime sessions in the CBD and Fremantle. Equipment is brought to the session, so there is no gym to join.
A day retreat and a bushwalk are both on this page, and the difference between them is mostly how much of your day is planned for you.
Day retreats run four to eight hours in one place, usually with food, and combine two or three of movement, sitting, sound and rest. Weekend retreats add accommodation and a second morning, which is where most of the value is. Guided walks and forest bathing sessions are shorter and cheaper and generally ask nothing of your fitness beyond being able to walk for an hour or two. Surf and ocean sessions are the ones with actual conditions attached, and they get moved.
On practicalities: retreats book out further ahead than anything else in the directory, and the small ones fill first because they are small. Read what is included before comparing prices — accommodation, meals and transfers move the number a long way. For anything outdoors in Perth, check the forecast and the fire danger rating the day before, and expect a change of plan in summer.
