A Max-o Relax-o Wellness Day on the Gold Coast
Nurture your nervous system and boost vitality with an afternoon of nature, meditation, rejuvenation and relaxation.
Magnesium Spas, Vitamin IV Drips, Breathwork, Saunas, Cold Plunges, and Fresh, delicious food will make you feel completely disentangled and grounded.
Once in a while, our bodies crave nurture and slow down. I’ve come across three venues on the Gold Coast that create the perfect day to reset the mind, support the immune system and release our bodies’ tension. I started my day at Infinity Wellness in Currumbin with a vitamin boost IV drip, adding instant hydration, vitamins and electrolytes into my body. After this, I visited the Greenhouse Bath House in Tallebudgera Valley for a light lunch and a soak session before attending a breath work session at the Breath Haus Burleigh. If you plan your day like this, you’ll have it lined up, perfect to manicure the slowest, relaxing day you’ll have all week.
Your Ticket to Indulgence
First things first, both of these venues are popular and busy, so be sure to book both sessions a few days in advance. You can book directly via their website, or you can book through the ClassPass app. It worked out to be cheaper to book on this platform, and you can access many other fitness classes and spa treatments across Australia and across the globe on this app.
Important Logistics for the day
Book your IV drip at Infinity IV & Wellness in Currumbin and allow at least 1-1.5 hr for the process. If you book mid-morning, it should allow you enough time for the other activities to align.
I booked the 2:30pm 90-minute Soak Session with Greenhouse in Tallebudgera Valley and the 5 p.m. LSD (long, slow, deep) breath work session at the BreathHaus in Burleigh. All the venues are very close distance to one another.
Feel your body hydrate instantly after your drip, and feel absolutely relaxed after your soak session, ready for you to melt into the immersive sound bath and intentional breathing afterwards!
Start in Currumbin, then head to Tallebudgera and the last stop in Burleigh. An easy driving route.
10am/ Infinity IV & Wellness
In recent times, IV drips have been the leading wellness trend. Finding a clinic that you can trust is a priority for your health. Infinity Wellness is not only an IV Drip facilitator; you can book many other health and wellbeing services that are imperative for your body’s recovery and cell reproduction:
Whole body red light therapy (a treatment endorsed by scientific research and approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia),
Oxygen Therapy (An oxygen chamber, breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised environment; it enhances healing, improves brain function, and supports recovery from injuries),
Cryotherapy, Sauna, Ice Bath, Pelvic Floor Strengthening, Reoxy Therapy and many more services.
When I arrived at Infinity, I was warmly welcomed and served sparkling water before being hooked up to an IV drip bag on a super comfy recliner chair in a cosy, quiet room. Bring a book along or even a friend who can join you and do a drip sitting next to you, too.
The IV drips are administered by professional registered nurses and are completely painless. You can choose from a variety of packages and different types of wellness IV drips. Each package can be tailored to your health and well-being journey at an affordable price.
Whether you want to detox from a big night out or recover from low immunity, these affordable life-changing services at Infinity IV are an absolute must if you’re visiting the GC.

I was stoked when I came across this hidden gem, nestled between the lush green bush in Tallebudgera Valley.

The facilities featured on this beautiful property include an on-site restaurant with a delicious wellness menu not to miss. I indulged in flavourful zucchini flowers and freshly made natural bliss balls (so yummy). You can choose to drink non-alcoholic or alcoholic drinks, and even while you are bathing, you can be served more wine.
During your soak session, you can access:
Heated mineral spa

5pm/ The Breath Haus
But What is Breathwork? Intentional Breathing has many positive benefits for your nervous system and mind. The basic form of meditation includes focusing on your breathing. So what’s the difference?
Breathwork meditation involves consciously and mindfully changing your breathing patterns to access your parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system sends a signal to your brain to tell the anxious part that you're safe and don't need to use the fight, flight or freeze response. Deep breathing gets more oxygen to the thinking brain.
I’ve done breathwork for many years, and the experience is incredible. You may notice tingling throughout your body, making it feel lighter and more present. Your hands might form a claw shape, or your jaw might lock, but this is normal!
The Breath Haus Studios
The Breath Haus (On the Gold Coast and in Melbourne) is just what this crazy world needs. A facility where you can take time for yourself to experience stillness and calm. You will arrive in a dimly lit, essential oil-smelling room with yoga mats, pillows and blankets for your comfort, and even magnesium spray for extra relaxation! Each session goes for 1 hour and is $35. There are intro passes and membership prices to access as many sessions as you like every week.
Your body will melt into the yoga mat as you are immersed in the vibration from the sound of singing bowls, flowing through your tingling hands and breath-expanded chest.
The Breath Haus is a community, and its space is the most welcoming and warm. I am grateful to have become friends with some of the beautiful instructors. You are in the best hands.
There are two different breathwork sessions you can book to access your higher self <3
Different Breath Haus Sessions
LSD (Long, Slow, Deep): This class is a slow-flow breathwork journey that takes you into states of deep meditation and presence.
Through extended breath cycles and conscious breathing patterns, LSD guides you into profound stillness and awareness.
Perfect for those seeking deep relaxation, stress release, and nervous system regulation.
Release: activating, dynamic breathwork experience designed to liberate body and mind.
Through specific breathing patterns and somatic movement, the Release session helps you shed physical tension, emotional weight, and mental barriers.
This session creates space for powerful breakthrough moments and renewed energy.
It is an experience you cannot skip and something that everyone should practise to access their higher self and consciousness. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, The Breath Haus classes are suitable for all levels.
To Conclude
What more could you do for the ultimate day of relaxation! Bathe, massage, cleanse your body on the outside and the inside, and experience oxytocin release in your brain when your tastebuds tingle from the delicious wellness menu. If you’re visiting or living on the Gold Coast, this itinerary of activities is the perfect day as a gift to a loved one or for yourself.
