As we head into the new year, there’s nothing better than a bit of me-time so you can reflect and relax after the busy Christmas period.
It’s a new year, a new you, and we all love some extra TLC. These five wellness spas have everything you’ll need for the perfect self-care day, from viral head spas to authentic Finnish saunas.
Merse Wellness Spa
Osborne Park
After expanding to Perth from two Queensland locations in October, Merse Wellness Spa has quickly become a premier destination for prioritising recovery and sanctuary in the day-to-day.
Each room is set up so you can take to pause – hot magnesium pools (the largest in Perth) for tension relief, cold plunges and ice fountains for contrast therapy, and a salt room to replicate natural salt caves and the benefits they provide to respiratory health.
The Rejuvenate Lounge is the star of the show – a private recovery space that includes access to compression therapy, LED light therapy, massage guns and audio sound healing to provide the deep relaxation you’ve been looking for with all the best benefits.
Lush Skin And Body Day Spa
Mount Hawthorn
If you’ve been looking for your chance to try out the viral Japanese head spa treatment in Perth, Lush Skin and Body Day Spa is the place to go.
Japanese techniques combine with modern technology to provide the ultimate relaxation experience and, most importantly, improve hair and scalp health. Scalp cleansing, exfoliation, massage and hydration are all steps in the process, and of course, the famous waterfall rinse.
Other services include five-star body treatments, massages and facials, all created with relaxation and luxury at the forefront.
Ember Bathhouse
Osborne Park
Ember Bathhouse is a relaxation space rooted in traditional bathing and wellness rituals from across the world – the first of its kind in Perth.
Visitors can choose between a Moroccan hammam steam room, rainfall showers with Japanese-style onsen tools, Finnish saunas, hot mineral baths and more, plus services to accompany these relaxing experiences like facials, Ayurvedic massage and hammam ritual treatment.
The humble warehouse exterior is lost upon entry, where you’ll be greeted by a space dominated by ambient lighting, organic textures and earth tones – an escape from the bustle of daily life we’re welcoming with open arms.
Ambience Wellness
Karrinyup, Floreat & Claremont
Priding itself on its status as a sanctuary rather than a traditional massage centre, Ambience Wellness is a piece of luxury you’ll be able to fit into your regular routine, with locations at Karrinyup Shopping Centre, Floreat Forum, and the newly established Claremont Quarter venue.
The therapists are highly trained in speciality massage techniques and reflexology, with each service tailored to restore the body and mind. Gua sha, walking massage and herbal Thai compress massage are just some of the services offered.
From the convenience to the calm atmosphere and signature post-treatment wellness teas, this one makes the list of wellness centres worth your time, every time.
Vesla Studio
Jolimont
This Nordic-inspired space is another new addition to Perth’s wellness scene, opening its doors in November.
Complete with a crackling fireplace, rainfall showers, and a Finnish sauna, Vesla Studio has set out to compete with the best studios Perth has to offer from the outset.
If you’re into yoga and Pilates, you can book classes here and follow them up with recovery cold and warm magnesium plunges. A sauna and plunge start from $45, so this experience won’t break the bank either.
