Soak's New Rooftop Bathhouse Is Bringing Steamy Dips and Sky-High Sundecks to West End

There aren't many ways to improve a trip to a bathhouse, but when Gold Coast-born chain Soak opens up its first Brisbane location, it'll dial things up a level. Set to launch sometime in the first half of 2022, the new West Village spot will move your blissful spa days upwards literally, in fact; opening on a rooftop will do that.

Get ready for dips, steams and massages with a sweeping view of the city, and for hanging out on sky-high sundecks as well. West End's first rooftop bathhouse, it'll boast seven spas, as well as infrared saunas, mineral pools and relaxation gardens. And, the range of other services will expand to LED facials.

Those pools are meant to be shared, so you'll be able to book in for a soak with your mates and use the occasion to treat yo'selves over a catch up. The whole vibe at Soak Bathhouse West Village is about being social, after owners Alexis Dyson and Niki Dean realised that the industry isn't currently big on wellness sessions that double as group hangouts.

"A lot of social activities rely on going out for food and drinks, so we wanted to present an offering that focused on wellness and relaxation while still being a social experience to be enjoyed with friends," explains Dyson.

"This is also how Soak sets itself apart from other spas, as many only cater to pairs by offering couple massages and treatments."

Based on its Gold Coast setup, Soak does both casual pricing and memberships, and it'll start selling the latter for its West Village outpost at the beginning of 2022, prior to opening.

While gathering the gang and soaking in everything the bathhouse has to offer will be part of the new West End spot's daily offerings, you'll also be able to book in for special occasions — which is great to keep in mind if you have some milestones to celebrate next year, or just feel like a relaxing birthday shindig.

Soak Bathhouse will open its first Brisbane outpost at West Village, 45 Mollison Street, West End, sometime in the first half of 2022 — we'll update you with further details when they're announced.
