Every detail is thoughtfully designed to ensure a personalised and unforgettable experience.
Wholeness Center
Wholeness is a holistic, whole-being philosophy. Our Wholeness Center includes a gym, sauna, and spa treatment rooms. The gym, overlooking the river and floodplain, is well-equipped and always open. Our state-of-the-art infrared sauna with outdoor waterfall shower offers health benefits like gentle detoxification, improved circulation, and reduced inflammation, leaving you deeply relaxed. Book a massage or bodywork treatment in our peaceful single or couples spa treatment rooms with our skilled masseuses.
Relaxation
Sashwa has been designed around the concept of relaxation. Choose from a variety of relaxation spaces. Cool off in our salt water swimming pool whilst watching wildlife on the riverbed below. Relax in the outdoor lounge under the pergola with a refreshing beverage. Our cozy indoor lounge, with a library and fireplace for those cool winter nights, is perfect for a quiet afternoon. The lookout deck offers double loungers and river views. For a peaceful retreat spot, visit The Nest, a shaded nook with stunning views of the river and natural surrounds.
Yoga & Meditation Spaces
Our expansive indoor yoga studio is air-conditioned and fully equipped for yoga classes, workshops, and special events. Just below the lodge tucked into the riverbank, the wooden yoga deck offers a stunning setting for outdoor yoga, meditation, and breathwork sessions, whilst also serving as a perfect spot to observe the passage of wildlife visiting the river.
Attached to the yoga studio, our round meditation room provides a serene retreat for quiet reflection, whilst the Tranquility Garden offers a zen-inspired haven where you can stroll, meditate, or even paint in peaceful surroundings.
Creative Studio & Artist Residency
Our creative art studio is a vibrant space filled with diverse art supplies to ignite your imagination. You’re welcome to explore your creativity in the studio or take your easel to the zen garden or yoga deck. Art can be a powerful medium for discovering creativity, passion, and joy.
Additionally, our artist residency program brings forth various workshops and art classes, providing opportunities for you to engage with resident artists and enhance your creative and healing journey
