Now Open: Mediterranean-Inspired Bathhouse Contro Wellness Is Your New Lutwyche Go-To for Chasing Bliss

Tranquility and Lutwyche now go hand in hand. So do pastels and Lutwyche; Mediterranean-style bathhouses and Lutwyche; and escaping life's chaos in saunas, steam rooms and ice baths in Lutwyche. The reason: Contro Wellness. First announced earlier in April and now welcoming Brisbanites through the doors from Monday, April 29, the venue is the River City's latest place to relax, slow down and put your wellbeing first.

Brisbane has no shortage of wellness studios — indeed, Albion is also set to score a new bathhouse before the middle of 2024, opening in June — but adding more is always welcome. With its soft and calming hues, Contro Wellness has gone dreamy with its bathhouse setup. Patrons will find both traditional and infrared saunas, float therapy, mineral soaks, red-light therapy and salt therapy inside, too.

Also, 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. Sessions are also available in packs of five and ten, so you can plan out your future visits. And, the bathhouse lets you book in via its app, letting you lock in your next stint of unwinding at the touch of a button.

"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, when the wellness spot was first announced.

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."

Find Contro Wellness 488 Lutwyche Road, Lutwyche, from Monday, April 29, 2024. Head to the studio's website for further information.
