One of the hottest trends right now is bathing – indoors and out. It’s therapeutic, social and an enjoyable experience for both young and old. Hot and thermal springs are now poised to be the next big thing in wellness, with many ‘springing’ up all around the world, especially here in Australia. This centuries-old practice has been resuscitated with an entirely new era of bathing. Today, hot springs, thermal baths and bathhouses are combining live entertainment, watery wellness classes, restaurants and bars with traditional soaking.
AURORA BATHHOUSE & SPA
Aurora Bathhouse offers an exquisite bathing journey in a tranquil ‘hammam-esque’ space. There are ten different bathing experiences including hot vitality, cold plunge, and a 36 degree soothing mineral pool. You can continue your contrast therapy in the Nordic Sauna and glacial shower, finish with an aroma steam and Halotherapy. If that’s not enough… may we suggest you book in for a treatment at the Spa!
PENINSULA HOT SPRINGS
Peninsula Hot Springs put bathing on the map in Australia. This natural geothermal mineral springs and day spa facility has over 70 globally inspired bathing and wellness experiences. The pools are nestled harmoniously in the natural landscape so you can enjoy the sounds and sights of nature as you soak. Even though an easy day trip from Melbourne, it is definitely worth an overnight glamping experience so you can enjoy every single experience. Keep an eye on their “What’s On” page as they run a lot of wonderful events from live music to movie screenings.
ALBA THERMAL SPRINGS & SPA
Another wonderful and unique bathing experience on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Alba has more than thirty pools for you to discover, all privately nestled outdoors in waving grass and native trees. Soothe in the warm mineral waters of geothermal pools, be invigorated in the refreshing rain pool or relax in the tranquility of the botanical pools. Complete or break up your day with a nourishing meal at Thyme and a Spa Treatment… I can recommend the Hammam.
