Overview
Inspired by the Coogee coastline, Èliva's arrival brings an experience-led wellness encounter to Sydney's seaside village. Flowing from one rejuvenating space to the next, this landmark opening is the latest amenity to be revealed at InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach, which only recently invited guests to discover the hotel's new infinity pool and sunlit deck for the first time.
Sure, swimming and sunbathing overlooking the shoreline are bound to do good things for your peace of mind. But the launch of this luxury day spa is set to elevate your coastal calm even further. Evolving the traditional spa experience, this fully integrated encounter is where hotel guests and serenity-seeking locals will discover a slower, more intentional way of being.
Before your journey unfolds through multiple interconnected spaces and rituals, every visit to Èliva commences with a personalised consultation at the Herbal Ritual Bar. Here, guests blend oils, salts and botanicals to create a custom scent to use throughout each treatment. Then, it's time to prepare the body for what comes next, following a softly curved corridor to the change areas to find private showers and self-guided scrubs.
The treatment rooms, including a couples suite, are carefully considered, with adjustable lighting, music and temperature to ensure the vibe is just right. Here, you can choose from a massage, a facial, or a full-body ritual, as well as express options such as LED light therapy and PEMF. Meanwhile, Èliva's recovery room also features a zero-gravity vibroacoustic bed, which uses low-frequency sound waves to calm the nervous system and promote deep relaxation.
In the thermal wellness area, recharging won't be a problem thanks to a full complement of amenities. Think a trio of magnesium mineral pools, a salt sauna, an infrared sauna and two cold plunges. Plus, there's a crystal steam room, vitamin C-infused showers and a shaved-ice fountain. If you're keen to support circulation, reduce inflammation, restore balance or just indulge some much-needed pampering, expect Èliva to make all this and more possible. The spa also nails the basics, from modern single-sex change rooms to comfy robes and slippers.
"InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach has always been defined by its connection to place, and Èliva is a natural extension of that," says Melinda Lampier, Portfolio General Manager at IHG Hotels & Resorts. "It brings a new dimension to the guest experience, one that reflects the growing importance of wellness in how people choose to travel."
Èliva is now open at InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach, 242 Arden St, Coogee. Head to the website for more information.
