Longer, warmer days signal a time of renewal.  Dormant trees burst into life, fragrant flowers impart their heady scents and thoughts turn to travel and time spent outdoors.  This seasonal transition is the perfect time to regenerate the body, mind and soul with a quick visit to a local spa or destination getaway for a fully-immersive experience - an opportunity to revive, revitalise and restore depleted energy levels.

The Greenhouse Boathouse
West Burleigh Heads, Queensland
Gather the gang and head to The Greenhouse, a modern-day take on the traditional spa.  Choose from an array of soak sessions where guests can enjoy an organic face mask or intuitive massage.

The Sanctuary

Defined by the mantras of slow living and drawing from the rituals of Roman bathing culture, Slow House are devoted to helping their clients live in a more conscious and balanced way.  Detoxify, increase metabolism and support skin health with an infrared sauna session, or take it up a notch with a yoga, boxing or pilates sauna followed by a dip in the ice bath to help minimise inflammation and support the body’s immune, lymphatic, circulatory and digestive systems.
