Morning Awakening
A seamless rhythm of wellness, wild beauty, indulgence, and adventure,designed to nurture, strengthen, and inspire.

Rest by the fire, journal by the sea, or simply float in the luxury of unhurried time.
All wellness conversations and teachings weave into the Avandra House of Resilience, our signature Five Pillars of Health, guiding you toward an optimised, balanced, and deeply aligned life.
One unforgettable evening, you’ll gather on a deserted shoreline for wild dining beneath the open sky.
Dinner by firelight and candlelight. Locally sourced, organic ingredients cooked over flame. Waves as your soundtrack. A memory you will carry for life.
Slow, nourishing BBQ evenings with panoramic ocean views,fresh, local produce grilled over flame as the sun melts into the sea. Unhurried, heart-opening, joyful.
