Now Open: You Can Escape Your Daily Worries Without Leaving the City at Alexandria's New Soak Bathhouse
Rejuvenate your mind and lock in some social time — because this is a wellness destination with a difference.
A day spa isn't just a place to restore your weary limbs, it's a rare chance to shut your brain off. Getting a dose of wellness is now easier for those in Sydney with the launch of Soak Bathhouse Alexandria — a sprawling $230 million development that means you don't even have to leave town to feel refreshed.
Set just four kilometres from the CBD, the complex spans an impressive 700 square metres, making it one of the brand's biggest yet. And it comes with all the amenities that make for a luxury wellness escape, featuring state-of-the-art mineral pools rich in magnesium, alongside hot spas, cold plunge pools, a dry cedarwood sauna and a steam room.
"At a time when Australians are more stressed and burnt out than ever, we're deeply committed to giving people the chance to step away from the pressures of daily life and enjoy a much-needed moment of pure relaxation," says Soak Bathhouse CEO and Co-Founder, Alexis Dean. "Soak Bathhouse is about offering simple, accessible doses of wellness to everyone, helping them escape to a space where both mind and body can truly unwind."
Developed by Bourke & Bowden with design from celebrated Australian architect John Wardle, the bathhouse's attraction goes far beyond its pools and baths. The complex also features a series of social amenities, from flexible work zones and a street-level culinary experience to a central courtyard and rooftop entertaining areas.
This approach builds on recent wellness trends, where this previously solo or partnered ritual has slowly transformed into a group experience, as serene retreats now encourage guests to self-care with pals. Plus, with Soak Bathhouse Alexandria's central location, escaping everyday concerns while fostering in-person connections is made easy.
Whether you're heading along with mates or seeking a solitary visit, you'll also encounter lavish private experiences, including rejuvenating massage services, an infrared sauna and LED red-light therapy. So, perhaps now is the perfect time to organise a long-overdue catch-up, where you can chat amid an urban oasis or allow yourself to switch off with a peaceful dip and scrub.
Soak Bathhouse Alexandria is now open Monday–Thursday from 6.30am–10pm, and Friday–Sunday from 6.30am–12am at 25 Bourke Road, Alexandria. Head to the website for more information.
