"Named after the Zulu word for ‘healer,’ Spicers Sangoma Retreat plays the part—the cocooning sanctuary sits in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, just an 80-minute drive from Sydney (but oh, how far away it feels). The eco-certified luxury escape is also over an hour away from regional hub Katoomba's tourist-flocked trails, so you (and the rest of Spicers' typically trendy guest set) will enjoy a tranquil getaway, surrounded by lofty views of verdant bush and Bowen Mountain." - Sophie Davies
