Fulfill Your Health & Wellness Dreams in Byron Bay

While Byron Bay always represented a place to get away and chill, the town has moved from a tiny hippy, surfing beachside village to a centre of healthy living in the last decade.

“Designer yoga and pilates studios, haute health businesses, high-end organic restaurants, hip wine bars and five-star health resorts have sprung up faster than you can say namaste – transforming the town into one of the world’s ultimate wellness destinations,” according to The Australian Financial Review.

We’ve put together a round-up of some of our favourite ways to experience the healthy living lifestyle Byron Bay offers while on holiday here. You might never want to leave, some people don’t!
