Women-Only Wellness and Weight Loss Retreat in Yallingup, Western Australia

A typical day at VitalityFit starts with a workout designed to energise you: functional movement, strength work and cardio, scaled to your level and any injury needs. It finishes with a full-body stretch and a grounding meditation. Breakfast follows, then a mid-morning personal discovery session — the signature element of the retreat, where you work on understanding yourself, managing stress and building healthier habits. Lunch, then afternoon downtime: a massage or Bowen therapy treatment, a walk, a creative activity, or a one-to-one coaching session if you want it. Early evening brings another personal discovery session, then dinner, with morning and afternoon tea in between.

What separates this from a standard fitness retreat is the amount of one-to-one and small-group work on mindset and habits. Personal discovery sessions run twice a day, and the programme is built around NLP coaching rather than just exercise. You also leave with a take-home meal plan, workout plans and a Retreat Handbook, so the week is set up to continue after you fly home.

The team is small. Sharon Curciarello hosts and leads the coaching; Kate cooks; Robin does the massage and Bowen therapy. Guest reviews name all three. The retreat has been running since 2016 and is women-only.

The location is coastal bushland in Yallingup, on the edge of the Indian Ocean in WA's southwest. The property has villas with free-standing bath tubs, wide balconies and common areas, plus spa facilities. It is a quiet, nature-heavy setting rather than a resort strip.

Accommodation is included — either your own room or a twin share — along with breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and beverages. Two therapeutic treatments are part of the package; additional massage or Bowen therapy and 1:1 time with a certified health coach cost extra and can be requested.
