Aurora Spa and Bathhouse

If you would like to experience physical, mental and emotional nourishment, look no further than the soothing surrounds of Aurora Spa & Bathhouse on the Mornington Peninsula. It will become your favourite go-to destination for destressing, unwinding and restoring vitality (we are loving the Nordic sauna).

There are 10 different bathing experiences with state-of-the-art equipment and creative contemporary design. Expert therapists offer evidence-based remedies, therapeutic massages, skin health facials, body rituals, wellness coaching, mindfulness and meditation. Our pick from the extensive spa menu is the Couples Calm – pure bliss!

Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa

Revitalise your body with the powerful healing benefits of minerals and feel anew mentally and physically. Indulge in a relaxing bathing experience which will offer several mineral water wellness packages including private mineral bathing, spa resort treatments, and a selection of curated wellness packages, just for you!

We love the Day Retreat Package. Enjoy the hydrating feel of the steam room, spa couches, and magnesium pools as you relax under the soothing rhythms of the Bathhouse music. Or walk in the cool waters of an outdoor creek and experience the wonders of a mineral hammam. And, did we mention the delicious regional tasting platter?

Peninsula Hot Springs

For the ultimate wellness destination, look no further than Peninsula Hot Springs. Offering everything from geothermal bathing and spa treatments to yoga, workshops and onsite glamping there’s a good reason why this place is arguably the most popular wellness escape in Victoria. In fact, there’s over 70 experiences to choose from!

Our recommendation? Head to the Spa Dreaming Centre and immerse in one of the many private pools before an Indigenous-inspired Kodo full-body massage and indulging in local produce crafted into delicious meals at the onsite dining room. Or, for a real treat to the senses, combine the benefits of geothermal bathing and yoga with a class taken within the hot springs.
