The best day spas in Australia

KAILO Wellness Medispa

Brisbane

We love KAILO Wellness Medispa in Brisbane. It's a serene space that provides a comprehensive wellness experience, focusing on both physical and mental health.

KAILO has been awarded the title of Australia’s Best Luxury Medispa for several consecutive years and was named the World’s Best Luxury Medispa in 2025. Along with unique body treatments, facials and relaxation therapies, KAILO’s Spa Rituals are enhanced by their nutritional range of supplements that support sleep, digestion, and skin health.

ikatan Day Spa

Sunshine Coast

A favourite day spa in the Sunshine Coast among many, ikatan brings a little bit of Bali to the hinterland of Noosa. While express treatments are on offer, the ikatan philosophy is that relaxation shouldn’t be rushed.

Their signature four and five-hour packages are designed to help you fully unwind, slow down, and let your body and mind truly surrender to stillness.

Healing Waters Spa

Mossman

On the fringe of the Daintree Rainforest, Healing Waters Spa at Silky Oaks Lodge utilises the power of nature to nurture your relaxation journey. The rich Indigenous history is infused into treatments with native botanicals used throughout, and the spa welcomes both lodge guests and visitors.

For a deeper connection to Country, add a 45-minute private forest bathing experience to any treatment for a truly unique way to unwind.

Gatekeepers Day Spa

Adelaide Hills

For those who want to feel a million miles away but be home in time for dinner, Gatekeepers Day Spa at the iconic Mount Lofty Escape is the perfect option. Just 15 minutes from the city, this picturesque cottage is the ideal location to treat yourself.

Their signature Sensory Spa Experiences, crafted with luxurious biodynamic products from neighbouring Jurlique, combine the best of the spa’s offerings into one indulgent ritual to ensure you get the most out of your visit.

Longview Vineyard & Day Spa

Adelaide Hills

If you like your wellness with a side of wine, you’ll want to head straight for the hills. The Adelaide Hills that is. Longview Vineyard is not only an award-winning winery but also has a luxurious day spa, which is the perfect combination in our humble opinion.

Our advice? Spend the day by indulging in a signature treatment before heading over for lunch and of course, a bottle of their finest wine. There’s also the option to spend the night at the 4.5 star, vineyard view accommodation, if you really want to take the luxury up a notch.

Davaar House

Adelaide

This urban retreat is a popular day spa in Adelaide and for good reason. Conveniently located in the outskirts of the city, Davaar House invites you to reconnect with mind, body and soul through a wide range of treatment options all under the roof of a gorgeous, heritage mansion.

From traditional spas services through to cold therapy, float tanks and pilates pods, you’ll leave feeling balanced in every sense of the word.

Auriga Spa

Sydney

Of all the day spas Sydney has to offer, Auriga Spa at Capella Sydney, brings something truly unique in that all their treatments are based on the cycle of the moon.

Rooted in ancient wisdom for a truly holistic reset, treatments around the New Moon invite renewal, introspection and intention while Full Moon treatments ask you to let go of what’s holding you back and unlock your full potential.

We strongly suggest adding a stay at Capella!

Osprey Spa

Byron Bay

You shouldn’t be surprised that Byron Bay’s award-winning beachfront resort, Elements of Byron, is also home to one of the best day spas in the country. With its neutral, coastal luxury design, Osprey Spa will begin working its calming magic from the minute you walk in the door (and it’s open to resort guests and visitors alike).

There’s a spacious spa relaxation lounge and even a purpose-built signature Watsu water therapy pool.

Great Ocean Road

The perfect blend of country and coastal, this Great Ocean Road Resort and spa offers a destination retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Alongside their signature facial and massage treatments, a number of enhancements are available to take your experience to the next level. Our favourite is the marine magnesium, a seawater infused gel derived from the waters of France that fights inflammation and fatigue within the body.

Aurora Spa & Bathhouse

Mornington Peninsula

A popular seaside escape, Sorrento is also home to a new spa retreat in the Mornington Peninsula, Aurora. Drawing inspiration from European bath houses, you have the option of 10 bathing experiences as well as full body and facial treatments.
