A highly rated wellness retreat in Byron Bay with a 4.9 rating across 82 reviews.
Why it's worth checking out
White Lotus Cleansing Retreats offers structured detox and wellness programs in and around Byron Bay, with a focus on juice cleansing, water fasting, naturopathic guidance, yoga, meditation and complementary therapies. Its programs range from shorter immersions to personalised five-, seven-, 10-, 14- and 21-day retreats, with the site describing both group and individual options. The Byron Bay clinic is presented as a place for detox and regeneration, while retreat venue details are provided with booking information.
The retreat schedule includes the Detox and Regeneration Juice Cleansing Retreat, the Tao of Detox Alkaline Water Fasting Retreat, Fertility and Preconception Care, Cancer Support Therapy and a three-day Detoxify and Yoga immersion. The listed inclusions vary by program, but can include accommodation, organic juices and herbal teas, naturopathic consultations, yoga or qigong, meditation, sauna sessions, sound-based practices, massage, colon hydrotherapy and support during the fast. The site also describes a three-day Illuminate water-fast retreat with private accommodation, daily practices and supervised naturopathic monitoring.
The setting is designed around quiet, restorative experiences rather than a drop-in treatment menu. One 2026 retreat is described as taking place at the 25-acre Soma sanctuary, with private rooms, nature walks, saunas, ice baths, meditation and dream vision boarding. The business also says its healing programs have moved to a new beachfront venue for 2026, although the specific venue location is supplied after booking. Online detox programs and a range of wellness products are available for people who prefer to take part from home.
White Lotus was founded in 2010 by Sarah Foley, a professionally qualified naturopath who the site says has more than 25 years’ experience in health and wellness. It describes her additional work as a colon hydrotherapist and yoga and meditation teacher, alongside training in Kahuna bodywork and related practices. The retreats are suited to solo guests, couples and smaller groups looking for an immersive, guided program in the Byron Bay region. They are not presented as casual weekend stays: some fasting retreats require previous fasting experience and all participants need to complete a health assessment before acceptance.
