Aiyana Retreat

Aiyana Retreat is set in acres of bush reserve next to the famous Bibbulmun Track, and a short walk away from the scenic and wildlife-rich Wilson Inlet.

The owners’ artisanal backgrounds are reflected in eye-catching features like stained glass windows, home-fired terracotta tiles, locally made furniture, and locally sourced wooden fittings. The secluded Tao Villa is perfect for a romantic getaway and is elevated above the bush, leading to beautiful views; the Mira Villa features a private Mediterranean-style inner court; and the 2-bedroom Leela Villa is great for families and has 2 private terraces. All the villas reflect the owners’ commitment to eco-friendly building methods, insulated with earth bricks and harnessing solar power.

The villas at Aiyana Retreat are self-catering and feature fully-equipped kitchens; there is a grocery store within five minutes’ drive. The villas also have barbecue facilities, so you can enjoy eating in the great outdoors.

The town of Denmark, also a few minutes’ drive away, has a selection of great restaurants - local picks include Kirby’s, The Lake House and Castelli. Denmark is also one of the wine capitals of Western Australia, and the Castelli Estate, Ducketts Mill and Moombkai Wines are just a few of the places where you can sample the region’s produce.

Aiyana Massage Centre offers a range of spa and wellness treatments including Swedish, hot stone and deep tissue massages. Private yoga sessions are also on offer with two experienced teachers: Patricia, who teaches hatha yoga, vinyasa-style, meditation and yin yoga and has studied under Tibetan, Indian and European masters; and Theva, who teaches hatha, vinyasa, yin and Scaravelli yoga.

Aiyana is a short, scenic walk away from the Wilson Inlet, which is home to rich marine and bird life. Anglers will relish the opportunity to catch fish including cobbler, salmon trout, flathead and sea mullet, while birdwatchers will be able to spot blue-billed duck, red-necked avocet, and the iconic black swan.
