Northern Escape Collection’s Mt Mulligan Lodge, the immersive luxury lodge experience set on a remote, private cattle station in the North Queensland outback, will host its first all-inclusive wellness retreat this August. With a program carefully created to provide a true escape from the rush of the modern world, guests will be treated to a holistic body and mind experience, drawing on the healing benefits of the surrounding outback landscape and combining physical movement, mindfulness, and wholesome, chef-prepared meals.

With only nine rooms available on the retreat (up to 18 guests), Mt Mulligan Lodge provides a peaceful and picturesque setting for switching off, soaking up the diverse outback adventures, and reconnecting with physical and emotional wellbeing. Set amongst vast bushland and flanked by the majestic Mount Mulligan (Ngarrabullgan), it’s impossible to not slow down at Mt Mulligan Lodge, to escape into outback life over a sundowner at the lodge’s rustic sunset bar, or from a private outdoor bathtub watching the changing colours of the escarpment at dusk.

Over 3 memorable nights, guests will be encouraged to set their own personal intentions, working towards these at their own pace alongside other retreat guests and in the company of retreat host, Emily Spurling of Karma Being. The guided retreat program combines: morning yoga sessions; an adventurous all-terrain vehicle (ATV) tour; mindfulness, meditation, and breathing practice; a magical stargazing experience complete with guided commentary on the constellations, stars and planets; a tour of the old Mount Mulligan township and coal mine; memorable dining, including a dinner under the stars, rustic picnics, and meals showcasing the region’s best produce; sunset drinks, and blissful nights of rest, falling asleep to the sounds of the outback. There will also be ample unstructured time to relax at leisure and indulge in the lodge’s wide range of activities, including: bushwalking, kayaking or paddle-boarding on the weir, fishing for Barramundi, scenic helicopter flights, and simply relaxing by the picturesque infinity pool,

Northern Escape Collection’s Executive Director, Hayley Morris said the Mt Mulligan team developed the Wellness Retreat program in response to increased interest from guests.

“More and more, we have noticed a significant desire from guests to seek out holiday experiences with restorative health benefits for the mind, body, and soul.

“With the way that COVID-19 and the past 12 months has impacted our lives, the need for wellness tourism is now undeniable. More so than ever before we have been confined to cities, starved of travel, and overloaded with technology. The Mt Mulligan Wellness Retreat provides the perfect antidote to this – with vast outback landscapes, immersive experiences in nature, and the opportunity to truly switch off” Ms Morris said.
