The Light Retreat

A spa experience to combat the winter blues

This winter, Eléme Day Spa invites you to step out of the shadows and into the glow with The Light Retreat - a first-of-its-kind treatment designed specifically to help ease the emotional effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Say farewell to the winter blues and hello to blissed out self-care with a spa experience exclusively available at Eléme Day Spas at Crystalbrook Byron, Crystalbrook Riley, and Crystalbrook Flynn.

Designed in collaboration with renowned psychiatrist Dr. Kieran Kennedy, The Light Retreat blends light therapy with uplifting sensory treatments to support emotional wellbeing during the cooler months. Think mood-boosting massage, custom enhancements, and sunlight-inspired rituals to energise the body and soothe the soul.
