Nestled in the lush subtropical rainforest of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Alaya Verde is a boutique, eco-conscious retreat offering luxury accommodation just 15 minutes from the vibrant heart of Noosa Heads.

About Alaya Verde

Alaya Verde is an adults-only eco retreat designed for guests seeking a secluded, luxurious, and environmentally responsible experience. Set on over 45 acres of pristine native bushland and organic gardens, the property embodies sustainable living without sacrificing high-end finishes or amenities. The retreat features three elegantly appointed guest suites, each with private entrances, bespoke furnishings, polished concrete or timber floors, and views of the surrounding forest or pool.

Every detail at Alaya Verde reflects the owners’ commitment to natural living and minimal environmental impact. The property is off-grid, powered entirely by solar energy, with water sourced from on-site rainwater tanks and purified for drinking. Organic waste is composted, greywater is recycled, and fresh produce is grown in the retreat’s permaculture gardens, used in the gourmet breakfasts prepared daily for guests.

Alaya Verde is located in the serene Doonan region of the Noosa Hinterland, approximately:

Sustainability at its Core

What sets Alaya Verde apart is its holistic commitment to eco-tourism. The retreat is entirely off-grid, drawing power from solar panels and storing energy in batteries. No chemicals are used on the gardens or in the pool, which uses magnesium salts for a natural, therapeutic experience. Waste is handled via environmentally friendly septic systems and greywater recycling, while guests are provided with compost bins and encouraged to embrace the retreat’s zero-waste philosophy.

This dedication to the environment has earned Alaya Verde recognition as one of Queensland’s most sustainable accommodation providers and a hidden gem for responsible travellers in Australia.
