Soak Bathhouse West End
This West End rooftop wellness haven boasts seven spas and pools, plus a sky-high sundeck.
Overview
Bathhouse chain Soak has made its way to Brisbane, complete with relaxing dips, sundeck, stints getting steamy no matter the weather and staring out over the city from a West End rooftop. In 2022, the Gold Coast-born company launched its first site further north, opening in a sky-high perch in West Village. Here, you can chase your bliss in seven spas and mineral pools, while also hitting up the infrared saunas, steam rooms and relaxation gardens.
West End's first rooftop bathhouse literally dials things up a level. Those dips, steams, massages and LED facials come with a sweeping vista — turning the rooftop spot into an inner-city oasis.
Soak's pools are meant to be shared, so you can book in for a plunge with your mates and use the occasion to treat yo'selves over a catch up. A big part of the vibe at the bathhouse is about being social, hence the communal facilities, capitalising upon a largely untapped niche: turning wellness sessions into excuses to gather the gang.
That said, the venue also provides individual services and experiences — catering to relaxing visits for solo patrons looking to disconnect from absolutely everything as much as group hangouts.
As well as getting your mates together and soaking in everything the bathhouse has to offer — or doing so during some much-needed alone time, too — Brisbanites can also book in for special occasions. That's great to keep in mind if you have some milestones to celebrate, or just feel like a relaxing birthday shindig.
As it also does at its Gold Coast setup at Mermaid Beach, Soak offers both casual pricing and multi-packs — and, like that spot, it's trading across extended hours seven days a week.
It's only at West End, however, that you can enjoy the facilities from 6.30am daily, or head along until 10pm each evening. A sunrise soak? A sunset steam? They're all now a reality as well.
