Quiet. Relaxing. Rejuvenating. These are words often used to describe the Sunshine Coast. With its abundant natural beauty, hiking trails, and outdoor activities, the Coast encourages an active lifestyle. But beyond that, it offers a welcome retreat from the hurried pace of city life.
Amanda Peterson and Beau Sladey of Inner Circle Retreats recognized the Coast as an ideal place for renewal and wellness. With a shared love of movement and meaningful connection, and backgrounds in fitness, Pilates, and event planning, they envisioned retreats where women could gather, move, laugh, and recharge. And so, Inner Circle Retreats was born.
Groups of friends, family, or colleagues can create their own retreat, choosing from fitness and wellness classes, creative workshops, dining, relaxation, adventure, and more. For those who prefer to join a group, Inner Circle also offers curated retreats that bring together fitness, wellness, food, rest, and shared experiences.
Retreats take place at Painted Boat Resort Spa and Marina, tucked into a peaceful seaside setting in Madeira Park. With 31 well-appointed villas, indoor meeting spaces, an outdoor deck for activities, and a spa offering a range of treatments, the resort provides an inviting setting for wellness getaways. The Spa Serenity Garden is a particular highlight, offering a tranquil space to unwind and recharge.
Amanda and Beau are also part of Painted Boat’s growing wellness programming. Along with seasonal Pilates classes, they recently introduced Fall Reset, a three-hour evening experience combining energizing fitness, practical wellness education, and an hour of relaxation in the Spa Serenity Garden.
Ready for a little time away to relax, recharge, and try something new? In the company of good friends, surrounded by nature, and with time to slow down, even a few hours away can become a meaningful experience to remember.
