Soak Bathhouse South Yarra
This wellness paradise is ripe for relaxation in the heart of town, featuring extensive pools and saunas alongside an upbeat atmosphere that defies tradition.
Overview
Soak Bathhouse has become a go-to spot to unplug in New South Wales and Queensland, combining an urban oasis with more than a little restorative magic. Now it's finally time for Victorian spa-seekers to dive in, as the brand has just opened its first bathhouse in the state. Best of all, you won't have to leave town to reach it — it's situated smack-bang in the heart of South Yarra.
Located within a $100 million precinct designed by the award-winning Carr Architects, this luxe destination offers abundant conscious connection and moments of bliss. Featuring the full spectrum of relaxation experiences across 700 square metres, this sprawling site is one of Soak's largest bathhouses, making it a truly special encounter for those looking to maximise their rejuvenation.
"The expansion to Melbourne marks an exciting chapter for Soak Bathhouse, as we continue to grow and bring our distinctive concept of micro-doses of wellness to more cities," say Soak Bathhouse owners Alexis and Niki Dean. "Our mission has always been to create an oasis of relaxation in urban settings, and the new South Yarra location will be no exception."
Pairing city-centric convenience with natural serenity, Soak Bathhouse South Yarra boasts an array of peace-inducing amenities adorned with leafy greenery. Slide into temperate magnesium pools, let go of any stress in hot spas, or sweat it out in a dry cedarwood sauna and steam room. Then, sharpen the mind with a cold plunge before kicking back in a cosy lounge. Whatever encounter you're looking for, this urban retreat abides.
Beyond the pools and saunas, Soak Bathhouse South Yarra also offers a full complement of private wellness experiences. Indulge in a 45-minute infrared sauna session, set to soothe sore muscles and relieve stress. Plus, 20-minute LED facials offer a quick-fire glow-up, while various 50-minute massage bookings will make for a glorious unwind that leaves you feeling born again.
Just know, Soak Bathhouse isn't your traditional spa. Think of it as a more social alternative, where enthusiastic conversation and, yes, even loud laughter, are encouraged. Featuring communal unisex amenities, expect upbeat energy, where self-care without the stuffiness of a silent bathhouse is part of the appeal. Alexis explains: "Whether it's a solo visit to unwind after a long day or a social outing with friends, Soak Bathhouse offers a versatile environment that caters to various wellness needs."
