Peninsula Hot Springs

While Amanda's friend Sam was in town from Detroit, I tagged along for a day trip to the Mornington Peninsula - just under 1.5 hours south of Melbourne.

 

Peninsula Hot Springs is a geothermal mineral springs and day spa. The facility features over 70 bathing and wellness experiences, all set within a serene natural landscape.



Options are limitless between the family-friendly 'Bath House' and the adults-only 'Spa Dreaming Centre.' Both areas include barrel baths, steam baths, saunas, and cold plunge pools. Additional experiences include spa treatments, moonlit bathing, retreats, and glamping.


The naturally-heated waters rise from 637 metres below ground and flow into the pools and private baths. Mineral springs detoxify the body and contribute to our overall health and wellbeing.

 


The property maintains several wellness and relaxation spaces, plus a three-acre 'Food Bowl' - a beautiful terraced kitchen garden that supplies the cafes with fresh seasonal produce.


It seemed fairly busy for a Friday; this is one of the few outdoor activities that is likely best enjoyed during the colder months.

 

I highly recommend a visit here, and am keen to return - especially for special occasions! Nature-based luxury at its finest.
