Great place to relax

If you are looking to get away someone relaxing and quiet. This is the place views were beautiful and the apartment had everything you needed. Shops and places to eat no more than 10-20min away depending on what you want to eat. You get a complimentary breakfast hamper which was enough to sustain us for 3 days. Great place great hosts.

Thank you Craig and to all that care for this property. I was so well cared for, connected to myself and the earth, with a beautiful range of treatments, in an area that filled my soul with peace and calmed my mind 💕💞The float tank will now be a regular in my health principles and natural treatments. Very grounding. All my pain was gone after floating in magnesium 💗Beautiful experience all round.

Just what we needed.

Very relaxing. Loved the room and the extras. Breakfast hamper on the first day was lovely. lovely drive. Close to the coast but fare enough away that we could be in the peace and quiet. Some more personalized information about the area and local restaurants with maps/directions in the room would have been more useful than a bunch of brochures to attractions. Could have done with an extra sofa, even a small single seat one. All the DVD's provided were scratched up (I did not get a chance to mention this to the owner) so take entertainment. I am not sure if there is WIFI because I did not check. Loved the cling film, it was highly useful. the room was lovely and well presented, we would consider going back.

The facility had a lovely pool which we could swim in at any time of the day and night. Overall perfect location for a couples getaway.

Escape to Alaya - Relax and unwind

Craig and Molly from Alaya Escape promise "Relaxing, Reconnecting, Renewing and Recharging" - and they deliver! From the moment you walk through the gates of this Bali on the Sunshine Coast, you can feel yourself begin to unwind. Craig personally came to check that we had settled in, as well as hand-delivering our delicious breakfast hamper. Our bungalow (Ubud) was clean, comfortable and had everything required to feel like home. A mini 'library' provided a selection of books and DVD's - that's in case it happens to rain I guess...the gardens and outdoor pavilions are too lovely to stay indoors for long. Magnificent tropical gardens surround the pool and hide pavilions just waiting to be lounged in. Hammocks, daybeds, a library, sound system, water features and help-yourself mini-bar all create the perfect environment for doing absolutely nothing! Or for those who are more energetic, mountain bikes are available. I liked the extra touches of Craig and Molly's "Favourite Food Experiences" in the local vicinity. We tested a few out and were not disappointed! We didn't try the other services available such as Massage and Sauna, so we'll save that for next time... I highly recommend Alaya Escape...I definitely will escape there again!

The rooms are absolutely amazing, the environment surrounding the rooms is amazing. Honestly, everything about Alaya is stunning! The thing that was big for us was that we were allowed to take our dog with us which made our day! Thankyou so much for having us and we can't wait to return in the near future! We will be returning 100%!

Ultimate spot to chill

My wife and I spent two days at Alaya, and it was the perfect place to relax and find time to do nothing. The stillness and energy of the surrounds was wonderful. Waking to the gentle sound of the rain on the roof, on the first morning just added to the joy of being able to sit and relax. The temple was a short 20 minute walk away, and this was the perfect adjunct to our stay. Craig and Molly made us feel extremely welcome, and then left us to just revel in the stillness of what they have created.
