Coming Soon: Contro Wellness Is the New Pastel-Hued Mediterranean-Style Bathhouse That's Opening in Lutwyche

No city can ever have too many places that encourage you to relax. We all lead busy lives, and we all need every reminder that we can get that slowing down, relaxing and putting our wellbeing first are important. So, while Brisbane has no shortage of wellness studios, adding another one is always welcome. By the time that April is out, Contro Wellness in Lutwyche will be River City's latest place to chase bliss.

Opening on Lutwyche Road on Saturday, April 20, 2024, this pastel-hued spot is going Mediterranean-style with its bathhouse setup — and dreamy, too, as its calming colour palette helps evoke. Inside, patrons will find both traditional and infrared saunas, float therapy, ice baths, steam rooms and mineral soaks. And if that's not enough, there's red-light therapy and salt therapy as well.

"Contro Wellness is the ultimate escape from the everyday hustle and bustle of city life," said Madeleine Snaith and Jake Salomone, the venue's co-founders. The pair are Brisbanites, but are opening Contro Wellness as part of their homecoming after establishing pilates and yoga studios — also called Contro — in north Queensland, in Mackay and Rural View.

"Our extensive range of private health solutions offer calm amongst the chaos. Whether you're after a float, sauna or ice bath, we've got something for everyone to help rebalance, revive and rejuvenate."

If you're keen on not just relaxation, but some alone time — or sharing your experience with a date or mate — this isn't the kind of place where you'll be using the facilities with other folks. All services are private, which is handy if you're also the type of person who finds trying to de-stress surrounded by people who don't know anything but calming.

Price-wise, you'll be forking out at least $40, which is where Contro Wellness' services start. The bathhouse will also let you book in via its app, so you can lock in your next stint of unwinding at the touch of a button.

Find Contro Wellness 488 Lutwyche Road, Lutwyche, from Saturday, April 20, 2024. Head to the studio's website for further information.
