In May and September 2026, the Daintree Rainforest provides the setting for a soulful three-night retreat designed to restore, reconnect and rejuvenate. Silky Sanctuary is a curated wellness experience at Silky Oaks Lodge, where luxury meets nature on the banks of the pristine Mossman River, offering a tranquil space for deep self-care and connection to place.
Returning in 2026, Holistic Health Coach and Yoga Teacher Emily Spurling of Karma Being will lead two thoughtfully curated retreats at the lodge, taking place in May and September. The itinerary invites guests to pause from the demands of daily life and step into a slower rhythm – one shaped by movement, stillness, creativity, and community.
Each day begins and ends in the Treehouse Restaurant, where guests enjoy flavourful, local produce-led menus with views to the rainforest and soundtrack of forest birds and the Mossman River flowing by. Fresh greens and local native ingredients come freshly picked from the lush onsite kitchen garden, straight to the plate.
The Silky Sanctuary program includes daily yoga, breathwork, meditation, and a range of shared experiences designed to deepen wellness and cultivate connection. Highlights include a Mossman Gorge walk and rainforest bathing experience where you’ll learn the ancient Japanese technique of Shinrin-yoku and a Daintree River wildlife spotting cruise.
Guests are also encouraged to tailor their experience with a bespoke menu of optional experiences – from treatments at the Healing Waters Spa to tarot readings to PSYCH-K sessions.
Between sessions, guests can explore the Daintree at their own pace – swimming in the crystal-clear Mossman River, exploring the region by complimentary e-bikes, or walking the lodge’s signposted tracks to Fig Tree Rapids. The natural surrounds invite a gentle sense of awe and mindfulness at every turn.
Whether you’re seeking restoration, inspiration, or simply time to reconnect with yourself and nature, Silky Sanctuary offers a rare opportunity to immerse in the healing energy of the rainforest with like-minded souls, supported by expert guidance, nourishing cuisine, and the quiet luxury of one of Australia’s most celebrated lodges.
