Whenever I am lucky enough to holiday in Noosa, I feel temporally motivated to wake up a tad earlier and pop on the old n’ dusty joggers for a “brisk” walk along the beach. Why? With the local’s commitment to their morning rituals and Noosa’s stunning sunrise, how could I not? As a result Alluxia has investigated the ideal spots to rejuvenate, be inspired and unwind in true Noosa style.
Nibbles and all things Liquefied
For all your organic cravings, head to Belmondos Organic Market in Noosaville. This award winning marketplace offers an extensive range of products from near and far, ranging from local artisans to the Italians themselves. I cannot stress enough that Belmondos is an absolute must do with their ready to eat meals, Eumundi Meats and handmade treats.
59 Rene Street, Noosaville 0427 466 977
I think “I am turning Japanese” with Wasabi Restaurant & Bar’s exquisite flavours. This contemporary yet authentic restaurant pays homepage to its Japanese roots whilst using locally grown produce, some of which is grown on their Honeysuckle Hill Farm. We recommend Wasabi’s degustation menu to discover the many flavours of Japan.

Get Physical
The hustle and bustle of work, school drop offs and everything in between can really drain you, as a result take the time to reconnect with yourself at Yoga Circle. This intimate sanctuary offers personalised yoga sessions, meditation classes, massages and the odd workshop. It’s an opportunity to refocus, stretch and settle down.
8 Thomas Street, Noosaville (07) 5641 0343
For a glide across the Noosa river or a swing at the court, head to O Boat Hire. We recommend packing your shades, a kaftan and post “exercise” nibbles, as O Boat’s extensive range of activities will leave you with a good dose of Vitamin C. O Boat’s position is the perfect spot to unwind with a stand up paddle board (SUP) or a kayak…Just take your time!
222 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville (07) 5549 7513
To Pamper or not to Pamper? Pamper!
Known as the “Best Day Spa in Noosa” and voted the Best Destination Spa in Australia on four occasions, Ikatan Day Spa means business tranquility. This is the ideal spot for a little kneading and nurturing as Ikatan has devised the ultimate experience with its traditional Balinese culture and the simplicity of nature. Alluxia awards Ikatan brownie points as guests are offered champagne on arrival and T2 Tea on departure.
46 Grays Road, Doonan (07) 5471 1199
To look and feel your best, pop into Riverside Beauty for some well deserved pampering. Whether you’re in need of a little maintenance or relaxation, Riverside Beauty has a treatment for you. Having splurged on countless facials in the past, we recommend Riverside’s microdermabrasion for brighter smoother skin.
6 Thomas Street, Noosaville (07) 5449 9744
