Kickstart your fitness plan
With beautiful Laguna Bay and its neighbouring beaches to enjoy, it’s easy to indulge in a little saltwater therapy. If it’s warm enough, you could go swimming at Main Beach or try something new like surfing or stand up paddle boarding at Little Cove. Exploring the serene Noosa Everglades, an untouched ecosystem 30 minutes' drive from Noosa, with Kanu Kapers is a peaceful way to take in Noosa’s natural beauty, spot native wildlife and enjoy some fresh air. If you’re after a healthy no-cost activity, why not clear your head with an energising hike along one of the trails at Noosa National Park? There are walks to suit every fitness level, with many of them offering ocean views and the chance to spot dolphins.

Find your Zen
Reduce your stress levels and get your mind in a better place with a trip to ikatan Day Spa, a Balinese-inspired haven located in a subtropical rainforest. A traditional Balinese massage which includes light stretching and pressure point massage will set you up for the rest of your holiday and the glass of bubbly at the end of the treatment provides the perfect finish. A yoga class is another great way to loosen the muscles and get back in control of your body and mind. Noosa Beach Yoga offers daily morning yoga classes overlooking the Main Beach so the tranquil sound of the waves can soothe your soul.

For example, Seahaven Noosa Resort is located in the heart of Noosa and has views that make it tempting to dine in every night. Apartments have modern kitchen facilities for cooking up a storm, a large balcony for enjoying a fruity cocktail or a bottle of bubbly (after all, you are on holiday), and a restful king-size bed.
