**AWARDED AS ONE OF THE TOP 5 BED & BREAKFAST DESTINATIONS IN AUSTRALIA 2022**, Alaya Escape truly has been one of the best kept retreat and accommodation secrets on the Sunshine Coast for over 15 years! From wellness technologies such as Canadian Red Cedar Sauna, cold (5 degrees) and hot (28 degrees +) red cedar plunge pools and Sensory Deprivation Floatation Tanks, there are facilities here that fast track peeling off of the accumulated layers of stress and "dis-ease", returning our mountain top adventurers back towards a healthy state of physical and psychological homeostasis. **Note: Alaya Escape has a minimum 2-night stay and, therefore, our retreat may have vacancies even though TA states that we are full. ** Alaya Escape provides a little bit of everything to meet your needs as they present themselves. Situated close to the cosmopolitan Sunshine Coast Hinterland villages of Montville and Maleny and an easy drive to the world-famous beaches of Mooloolaba, Noosa and Coolum, Alaya Escape consists of unique mountain getaway bungalows situated inside a breathtaking tropical Balinese-style oasis. Relaxation and decompression opportunities abound in this 'peace' of paradise. Alaya's Sunshine Coast retreat accommodation consists of studio, 1 & 2 bedroom private bungalows (cabins) surrounding and overlooking the tropical Balinese-styled gardens and large Oasis pool. All of our rooms are fully self-contained with kitchenette, movies, decks, log fires and bubbling hot spas. Finish outdoor sauna and magnesium salt floatation tank situated around fish pond, pool and waterfall offer a way to fast-track guests' disconnection from their routines and daily grind. Massages offered in-rooms from legendary wellness practitioners.

Such an amazing place, Craig the owner was such an easy going host, who made sure our stay was perfect. So relaxing and quiet. We loved the Spa and wood fire in our room and the float tank, pool and sauna was just what we needed to relax. We definitely will be back. Thank you Craig

If you want to relax with your family or friends, this one is the best. We enjoyed our short stay here. The owner, Craig, is very accommodating, and the villa is pet-friendly. You will surely fall in love with nature with a natural view up to the mountain. The rooms are clean and friendly. The place is the best to stay and unwind.

This was our second trip to Alaya escape. This is now my second favourite place on earth! There’s home and there is here! You feel relaxed, safe and immediately home! Can’t ever find a fault! Craig is the most gracious and amazing host and has truly built a paradise for people to let go! I promised myself after our last visit we would go every 3 months and now we will always prebook 3 months in advance so we don’t miss out! Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with the rest of us.

My experience visiting Alaya Escape really was like taking a holiday to Bali without the flights !! It was Apsolutely relaxing in a natural and magical Oasis. The check in was so easy and the hosts think of everything to make your stay perfect in every way. From the personal touches to the apsolute privacy you experience. I felt like I was transported to a wonderland and this property offers everything and the natural medicine this land radiates made my heart sing. We enjoyed our morning breakfast hamper with Eagles flying overhead and a flock of black Cockatoo playing in nearby trees and a family of fairy Wren birds playing in the amaaaaazing Bamboo that is growing all over the property. I was deeply touched by the attention to detail that this property offers, things like the delicious Breakfast platter that provided all of my favourite foods and the fresh clean, crisp linen and ample of kitchen utensils providing everything that you could possibly need to make lunches and dinners and more ... The fridge was full size too which makes life so much more comfortable. They provided fire wood and candles for creating such delicious ambience. I enjoyed an amazing spa beside the our own private fire after a sunset swim in the glorious salt pool surrounded by heartwarming statues and water features and super comfortable beds and lovely pillows and also amazing day beds and private places to cuddle up with a good book and drift away into deep relaxation. I also took myself into a deep detoxification process through taking advantage of one of the amazing packages this property offers I chose to experience the sauna and cold plunging and this was deeply detoxifying for my body. I felt held throughout my whole experience and my next visit is being planned already. I chose to book three nights for a deeply relaxing time out and I'm looking forward to exploring the floatation package next time and diving deeper into detoxification and exploring even deeper relaxation. The hosts were Incredible and catered for all of our needs. They gave us immense privacy and yet when we needed them, they were instantly available. I have stayed at hundreds of locations on my travels and this property and the hosts have exceeded all of my previous experiences and futhermore I feel more focused and rejuvenated and motivated and I'm feeling a deeper sense of calm since my visit to Alaya Escape. I loved every moment of our visit and I'm incredibly grateful to The Hosts for everything. I highly recommend this magical experience ☯️💫🙏😁 Love Shemaine xx …

Wow Shemanine, thank you for sharing your experience. We are far from perfect, but we do hope to offer a point of difference and an uncommon experience here on the mountain in the rainforest. Really chuffed that you enjoyed yourself so much and took in the smaller, yet powerful, aspects of being up here. It says much about how you attend to life as it is turning up. Thank you again for coming our way! Craig, Molly and the girls.
