Peninsula Hot Springs: The vibe

Even if you’re not a morning person, you’ll be itching to start the day at Australia’s Peninsula Hot Springs. Ontario has its fair share of amazing spas, but this wellness wonderland in the land down under takes the cake. Just under a 90-minute drive from Melbourne, this natural geothermal gem is a deep breath of fresh air and a haven for leisure seekers.

The pools, heated by natural springs hundreds of metres below ground, blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. They’re also infused with minerals that will leave you feeling so relaxed you’ll be wondering how you can get one at home. More like a sanctuary, the spa offers a variety of signature treatments and balancing therapies. Our fave? The organic mineral mud wrap followed by a massage.

Peninsula Hot Springs: The rooms

If you can’t fathom leaving (we don’t blame you), treat yourself to one of the spa’s luxurious glamping accommodations with a view of the garden, lake, or opt for your own secluded pavilion. The delightful tents come equipped with ensuite bathrooms, king-size beds, walls and electricity so you can be in nature without reaaaaally being in nature. It’s the perfect place to rest your head after a long, relaxing day of pampering at the spa.
