An approximately ninety-minute drive from the city of Melbourne to the Mornington Peninsula takes you into a coastal oasis of well-being Land rejuvenation. With multiple thermal springs and bathing experiences nestled amidst this picturesque coastal escape, Mornington Peninsula is an ideal weekend gateway if disconnecting with the hustle of city life is your definition of relaxation. The Shire of Mornington Peninsula, located to the south of Melbourne city, is Victoria's major attraction thanks to its wellness offerings, sprawling vineyards, colourful towns and surf-friendly beaches. The area has become increasingly popular for its mineral and geothermal hot springs.

Relax, Rejuvenate & Rewind

For thousands of years, bathing has been an indulgent ritual in several cultures. From the Turkish hammam experience to the Dead Sea dip in Israel, mineral bathing is known for its healing and relaxing benefits. The new and modern thermal spring properties in Victoria, however, offer a luxurious, one-of-a-kind experience. "Victoria's wellness space has always been popular. However, it has picked up like never before in the past decade as people seem to need more downtime now," shares Nadine Thorburn, Spa Director at Alba Thermal Springs & Spa.
