Crystal Sanctuary

Home to some of the world’s largest and most beautiful crystals, Crystal Castle is a place to slow down and reconnect. Wander tranquil botanic gardens, journey the ancient labyrinth and spend time with towering crystals sourced from around the globe. Part sanctuary, part wonderland, it’s an experience that invites reflection, curiosity and a little quiet awe.

Beach Walks

One of the things that sets Ballina apart from our sister town Byron Bay is the luxury of space. Long, open stretches of coastline, offer a quieter, more laid-back beach experience, where the soundtrack is waves rather than crowds.

Start the day the Ballina way: sunrise over the ocean, bare feet in the sand and an early swim as the light rolls in. Unhurried and uncrowded - coastal living at its best.
