Alba Thermal Springs And Spa Is This Year’s Most Anticipated Opening

Set on the exquisite Mornington Peninsula, this luxurious retreat offers 31 bathing pools and an extensive treatment menu.

Australia’s spa landscape is about to receive a decadent new addition with the opening of Alba Thermal Springs & Spa for spring 2022. Situated on Victoria’s breathtaking Mornington Peninsula, this exquisite new venue boasts a selection of indoor, open-air and outdoor hydrothermal pools. 

Alba’s opening is eagerly awaited and potential guests have been avidly following social media for updates. As soon as the Alba website went live in April – and ahead of the official launch – bookings were being received. In fact, 16 bookings were made via the portal in its first 48 hours. 

“A visit to Alba is not just about relaxation and indulgence. Thermal springs bathing offers well-researched health benefits for the body, as well as the soul. Recent research has shown that hydro-thermal therapies, such as ours, may reduce the risk of chronic disease, and boost the immune system,” says Alba Thermal Springs and Spa Director, Sonja Sorich in a media release.

“Naturally occurring thermal water has many health-enhancing properties, and bathing encourages connection to nature, to oneself and to others when enjoyed as a social experience. Soaking away aches and pains, calming the mind, and simply taking ‘time out’ is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and others,” continues Sonja.

Alba Thermal Springs & Spa features 22 spa suites with options for singles or couples. Within the suites, you’ll find steam rooms, thermal Vichy showers, private bathtubs, and calm treatment rooms. Across the grounds lie 31 bathing setups of varying sizes and styles including geothermal pools, cold plunge pools and herbal-infused botanical pools.

For group bookings, along with manicure and pedicure treatments, the Sol Lounge offers a warm, inviting space. To make the most of the location’s extensive native garden views and water features, a spacious relaxation area has been thoughtfully designed across the mezzanine level of the main spa building.
