A beautiful, natural retreat and event space set on 5 acres of nature in the heart of the Byron Valley.
Avana’s story
Avana was created by founder Alex Southcombe and his family as a place where people could come to experience the best in wellness.
Nestled between two pristine national parks, this enchanting valley boasts a flowing river and lush, abundant rainforest.
Aside from having a sound that truly encapsulates the energy of the land, Avana carries deep meaning across different cultures. In Sanskrit, it signifies "peace and protection", while in Hawaiian, it means "a flowing or gentle current"—both reflecting the essence of harmony and renewal that Avana embodies.
The aim of Avana is to host the very best in wellness for humanity to thrive.
Wellness and community at heart
Avana’s mission is to inspire transformation through nature, connection, and holistic well-being.
We are building a community of strong, healthy, and fulfilled individuals who positively impact the world around them.
Avana is a place to learn, experience, grow, and find deep motivation. It is also a sanctuary for rest, rejuvenation, and replenishment—a space where you can reconnect with yourself and emerge renewed.
World-renowned pioneers in health and wellness, like Wim Hof, run events here, drawn to the unique energy and transformative atmosphere that Avana offers.
