  • American River & Surrounds
Step into a world of stillness and silence at Island Alive, where birdsong echoes through towering pines, vibrant green moss carpets the forest floor, and the scent of fresh earth grounds you. Cocooned in a magical native pine forest on the edge of Pelican Lagoon Conservation Park, this nature retreat is the perfect sanctuary for slowing down, finding deep rest, and reconnecting—with yourself, nature, and those you travel with. Island Alive's hero experience, Sunset Forest Flow, is a three hour private contrast therapy ritual combining steam sauna, invigorating ice plunge, and wood-fired hot tub soaks in a serene outdoor setting. Your booking includes this session on arrival, with a welcoming, nourishing grazing platter and bottle of local wine. Stay overnight in our forest cabins, an all-inclusive nature getaway experience, designed for couples, small groups and mother/daughter escapes - where everything is taken care of, so you can unwind. Pre-ordered meals and breakfast hampers are included. Enhance your journey with add-ons of a private relaxation massage in the forest treatment room or a sensory breathwork and forest bathing experience immersed in nature - powerful practices to restore balance and vitality. Every experience at Island Alive is intimate, eco-conscious, and deeply connected to nature - ideal for wellness and adventure seekers looking for a place to reset and rejuvenate, in a truly unique Kangaroo Island escape.
