Zen Water Experiences

Have you heard about “blue therapy”?

It’s the power of natural bodies of water – seas, rivers and lakes – to soothe body, mind and spirit.

And, on the Sunshine Coast, there’s an ocean of ways to experience a Zen water moment.

Start by hiring a kayak from Sunreef at Mooloolaba Wharf – the perfect craft for a buoyant exploration of one of the coast’s most beautiful waterways.

The Mooloolah River is home to both wildlife – and the ‘high’ life:  the river-front setting for multi-million-dollar mansions.

Paddle your way towards the river mouth and you’ll also pass fishing boats and pleasure craft.

There’s the opportunity to stop at La Balsa Park for some deep breaths of cool, clean, coastal air and perhaps a picnic.

Sunreef hire out single, double and 2.5 seater kayaks (great for Mum, Dad and a little one) and you can rent your paddle-powered craft by the hour.

Far from the coast is another watery experience sure to bring down the blood pressure.  The Tank Bathhouse and Day Spa is at Bli Bli, overlooking serene countryside.

Book a 3-hour session that includes a delightful degustation lunch; beauty treatment (massage or facial); entry to the sauna and steam room; a bottle of complimentary bubbles; and a 60 minute soak in the spa’s series of concept tank baths (3 hot tubs and 1 cold plunge pool).

A day of pampering deserves a peaceful night in.

The Point Coolum is a hillside cluster of coastal villas and terraces, set in 6 acres of gardens overlooking a stunning coastline.

Whether you choose a 1, 2 or 3-bedroom apartment, each is perfectly appointed for unwinding in style.

The Point’s position is ideal for exploring Coolum. It’s a short stroll from your holiday villa or apartment to the village, bushland trails and beautiful ocean bays.
