6 Wellness Activities in Port Stephens

Before the summer rush begins, take time to pause, breathe, and reconnect in Port Stephens, one of NSW’s most refreshing coastal escapes.

Just two and a half hours from Sydney, Port Stephens is a haven for relaxation, adventure, and slow living. From sunrise yoga to sunset walks, every moment here reminds you that nature does it best.

Here are six Port Stephens activities to help you relax, recharge, and rediscover your sense of calm, the Port Stephens way.

1. Sunrise Yoga on the Beach

Start they day off peaceful with a sunrise. With 26 different stretches of sand to choose from, you’re spoiled for choice, but for the best sunrise, head to the eastern beaches such as Fingal Bay or Zenith Beach. This sets the rhythm for how you start your day, stretching and breathing with the rising sun and the sound of the waves crashing along the shoreline.

2. Horse Riding on the Beach

Gallop, trot, or stroll along the wide sands of Birubi Beach with Sahara Trails. This iconic horse-riding experience is the ultimate reset with wind in your hair, sea spray on your skin, and a gentle connection with the majestic horses beneath you. Few things feel as freeing as riding along the edge of the ocean.

3. Spa Lucca at The Anchorage

Tucked inside The Anchorage Port Stephens, Spa Lucca invites you to unwind in paradise with their ocean-inspired treatments. Spa Lucca takes you on a journey with a vast range of treatments, rituals, healing, immersions and warps using only the best products in the market. This is wellness done the right way, with a touch of luxury.

4. Watch the Sunset

Getting outside is one of the simplest ways to boost your wellbeing. And in Port Stephens, sunsets are serious business. There’s even a Sunset Beach, and yes, the name says it all. For the best views, head to the western bay inlets where you have optimal vantage points to watch the sky do its thing.

5. Trail Running in Tomaree National Park

If your idea of wellness is movement, Tomaree National Park is the perfect playground! Release those endorphins along the Tomaree Coastal Walk, tackle the full 27 kilometres if you dare, or break it into smaller sections. For a shorter challenge, zip up the Tomaree Head Summit Climb for panoramic views across all of Port Stephens.

6. Spa Bannisters

It wouldn’t be a wellness holiday without an extra spa treatment. Spa Bannisters is the perfect pamper treat by the coast. Recommended treatment? Good Rising. How does a full body exfoliation, mud mask, rain shower, massage, facial and head treatment sound?

Whether you’re chasing sunrise calm or sunset serenity, Port Stephens is the perfect place to find balance. Discover more Port Stephens activities and plan your next wellness weekend at portstephens.org.au.
