Guests don’t leave SOMA Lorna Jane rested. They leave with a renewed outlook and the tools to implement what they have experienced into their everyday lives.
More than a retreat, SOMA Lorna Jane represents the next evolution of Lorna Jane Clarkson’s 37-year philosophy that wellbeing should be lived, not simply practised.
After nearly four decades of building one of Australia’s most recognised activewear brands and one of its most trusted women’s communities, she is extending the Active Living philosophy beyond what women wear and into how they live.
Through expert-led immersive retreats, SOMA Lorna Jane has been designed to help women navigate everything from changing hormones and burnout to longevity, leadership and lasting behaviour change.
Launching from September 2026, the 10-bedroom Byron Bay retreat has been designed around transformation, not just restoration.
While many retreats focus on helping guests rest, every SOMA Lorna Jane program is designed to provide practical tools, frameworks and habit-building strategies that can be implemented long after returning home.
One retreat in particular that may resonate is Reset. Realign. Return To Yourself, a three-night experience led by Patty Perlman, focused on breathwork, values clarification and creating sustainable daily practices.
The retreat reflects the growing consumer desire for experiences that foster personal growth, connection and long-term wellbeing, rather than simply offering a temporary escape.
Alongside the new retreat offering, SOMA Lorna Jane is undergoing a significant transformation.
The redesigned property features a Bath House, pool, new treatment rooms and two wellness domes, one dedicated to strength training and cardio and the other to yoga, meditation and sound baths, alongside re-landscaped grounds spanning 22 acres of Byron Bay hinterland sanctuary.
Bookings open today for SOMA Lorna Jane, a newly reimagined wellness destination in Byron Bay and the next chapter in the Lorna Jane legacy.
