Details

Nestled within the tranquil rainforest surrounding Soma in Byron Bay, this retreat is a luxurious and deeply nurturing space designed exclusively for couples. With a perfect balance of stillness, presence, and expansive energy, the ambience invites you to slow down, reconnect, and return to what matters most—each other. The intent of this retreat is to offer couples a space to strengthen communication, foster connection, and deepen awareness through intentional, somatic, and energetic practices. Every element is curated to support growth both individually and together. The benefits extend far beyond the days spent at Soma. You’ll leave feeling lighter, more aligned, and equipped with tools that help you navigate life with greater clarity, presence, and understanding. What sets this experience apart is its fusion of luxury and depth: immersive relationship-focused workshops, breathwork, nervous system regulation, and spacious moments of reflection, paired with the grounding power of nature, exceptional surroundings, and a like-minded community of couples on a shared journey.

At our retreat, the culinary experience is thoughtfully crafted by Burberry Foods, focusing on nourishing the body with wholesome, seasonal ingredients sourced locally from organic and regenerative farms. Our menu is inspired by the healing traditions of Mediterranean and Ayurvedic cuisines, creating meals that support vitality and well-being. We prioritise clean, natural fats—cooking exclusively with coconut oil, ghee, or cold-pressed local olive oil—and avoid refined sugars entirely. Most of our menu is gluten-free, except for a delicious 72-hour fermented sourdough served fresh at breakfast. While primarily dairy-free, we occasionally include carefully selected biodynamic yogurt, Deb’s cheese, cultured butter, and eggs sourced from Oliver’s Hens to add richness and depth to certain dishes. Every meal is designed to delight the senses, balance nutrition, and complement your journey toward greater health and connection throughout the retreat.

Schedule

Our retreat program is carefully designed to balance intentional learning, movement, and relaxation, creating a holistic experience for couples. Each day begins with guided morning practices like breathwork and gentle movement to awaken the body and mind. Throughout the day, you’ll engage in relationship-focused workshops, somatic exercises, and nervous system regulation techniques aimed at fostering connection and presence. Ample free time is built in for rest, reflection, and optional activities such as surfing, golf, or massages. Evenings close with grounding rituals and community gatherings that offer space to integrate the day’s experiences. The program provides a supportive structure that encourages growth individually and together, helping you return home feeling refreshed, aligned, and equipped with practical tools for lasting connection.

Testimonials

info

The Soma Couples Retreat experience with Energy Studio went above and beyond in every way. From our hosts, the stunning surrounds and daily program to the incredible food — it was a beautifully unique, supportive journey over several days, strengthening and deepening the complex inner work for greater partner connection that we all need to do, but find every excuse not to. John and I stepped out of our comfort zones to connect to parts of our relationship that we had never considered before. It was both a bonding exercise and reminder of our own individual strength — what we each bring and can bring for our relationship to flourish in an authentic natural way. Rachael, Cassi and Andy are expert guides in the practice of self awareness and conscious behaviour and brought insight, discussion, meditations and activities in a powerful and intentional program, honed for relationship transformation. We got to explore both enjoyable and difficult things in a totally supportive environment - not to mention in the lap of luxury, nourished with delicious meals catered with love and meticulous care by on-site chefs, whose calm and positive energy only added to the nurturing atmosphere. Taking the leap of faith to allow time for us, is exactly what we needed for our relationship with ourselves, and with one another. If you and your significant other want to find higher love, I cannot recommend this retreat more!
