The 6 Best Day Spas In Sydney

Whether or not you think you deserve it, treating yourself to a day spa is one of the most effective ways to relax. If you've booked in at one of the best clinics, you'll leave feeling clean, refreshed, and already booked in for another session.

Fortunately, Sydney boasts some of the best day spa locations in Australia, leaving you with a daunting array of luxe spas to find your zen. Because there's nothing more stressful than being spoiled for choice, marie claire has compiled a list of our personal favourites, to save you any unnecessary stress. That's what you're trying to avoid, right?

Whether it's an omnilux facial at Alkaline Potts Point or an entire day of treatments at the Park Hyatt, these are the Harbour City's most memorable haunts for relaxation. Book soon, won't you?

Venustus Spa

This tiny spa and skincare clinic in Paddington has international acclaim, with CNN listing it as one of the best spas to visit when travelling to Sydney. The pièce de résistance is the six-hand massage, conducted by three individual masseuses at the same time, for the most mesmerising of treatments.

Alkaline

We've previously listed Alkaline as one of our favourite facialists in Sydney, but this hidden gem in Potts Point is ideal for any day spa treatment you'd be willing to sample. For the full luxe experience, we suggest the one-of-a-kind Detox Sauna treatment.

Treatments start at $120, book at Alkaline

The Spa at Park Hyatt Sydney

Park Hyatt is arguably Sydney's most heavenly hotel—who could say no to that insane harbour view? Therefore, it's no surprise that The Spa at Park Hyatt delivers—no matter how opulent a day spa experience you're after.

The Darling Spa at The Star

The Darling spa's motto is "make it all about you"—and after looking at the La Prairie-adorned menu of treatments, we're definitely tempted to. After a Skin Caviar facial, treat yourself to a post-spa High Tea—it's all within a day's relaxation.

Chi: The Spa at Shangri-La

The famous Shangri-La Hotel at Circular Quay is also home to the intimate, calming Chi Spa—a global Shangri-La staple, which specialises in "authentic Asian natural healing", according to Concrete Playground. Did we mention they offer a Chakra healing massage?
