Overview

Top-notch restaurants, bars, cafes and wellbeing facilities live side by side at St Kilda's legendary sea baths. The storied history of the beachfront landmark is as colourful as its home suburb, with the current iteration opening in 2001. It was modelled off the Spanish-Moorish design of the 1931 complex that sat on the same site.

The Sea Baths are a hive of activity on just about any day of the year, whether punters are unwinding with a drink by the beach at watering holes like Captain Baxter, or getting in laps at the heated, indoor, 25-metre seawater pool. The on-site health club — these are sea baths, after all — also boasts a hydrotherapy spa pool and steam room, while offering club, group or private swimming lessons for all ages.

Feeling adventurous? St Kilda Sea Baths is also home to Kite Republic, which offers lessons and equipment hire for stand-up paddleboarding, kiteboarding, windsurfing and hydrofoiling.
