BYRON BAY

Sun, surf, relaxation and creativity – all of these are synonymous with the name Byron Bay, but did you know it’s also one of Australia’s top health destinations for locals and visitors alike?

Exploring Byron Shire’s burgeoning health and wellness culture and community is a great way to start or end any day. Find a quality yoga class, try that much talked about infrared sauna, indulge in a spa treatment, escape on a retreat or savor that healthy dining experience – there are just so many options, how do you choose? OMByron is the perfect guide to help make that right choice for you, your partner, family or a friend.

A wellness experience can also be a great way to balance a mix of beachy indulgences, cultural intrigue, and some of the best nightlife our Shire has to offer.

With the weather relatively balmy, Byron Bay offers sights and activities galore all year round. Holidaymakers include couples looking for a romantic getaway (book a spa or double massage), groups of friends looking for fun and adventure (hmm, maybe a facial or manicure after the festival), those looking to rejuvenate the spirit (a divine 5 day yoga retreat), and families looking for a location that will please everyone (whale watching, beaching and healthy eats).

As OMByron co-founder Judy Chapman says, ‘I’m basically working my way through the Byron Shire, one sauna at a time.’
