For Melbourne dwellers whose bodies, muscles and pores are in dire need of therapeutic salvation, a day at one of the city’s many spa haunts could be the answer.
While we’ve investigated Sydney’s best spas before, the Victorian capital unsurprisingly has just as many luxury spas to offer as the Harbour City.
From the regal Mansion Estate at Werribee Park to the famous Park Hyatt pool, there are no shortage of day spa options in Melbourne—nor is there any kind of treatment you won’t be able to source. Think skin-rescuing Payot facials, traditional Turkish spa chambers, and The Langham’s entire-day spa option, to name only a few.
Scroll down for the six best spa locations in Melbourne, as well as the treatments they offer.
Chuan Spa at The Langham, Southbank
A ‘Day Spa’ in the most literal, The Langham’s Chuan Spa offers a full-day ‘Rejuvinating Retreat’ option, featuring a bathing ritual, 60-minute massage and 30-minute facial, completed with a thermal balm.
Level 9, One Southgate Avenue, Southbank. Treatments start at $110 for a Balancing massage.

Inside the luxury behemoth of Crown Towers lies one of Melbourne’s most unexpectedly calming oases. Crown’s Luxury Day Spa is an exercise in exorbitance, and even counts a hair and beauty salon among its swoon-worthy spa offerings.
Crown Towers, 8 Whiteman Street, Southbank. Treatments start at $200 for a Blissful Marma Massage.
Mansion Hotel & Spa At Werribee Park
Melbourne’s palatial Mansion Hotel & Spa, located in a 19th-century country estate only 30 minutes from the CBD, is home to an equally luxe treatment space to match. Case in point: their Turkish Hammam Chamber, as well as their exclusive use of Payot beauty products. Count us in.
Gate 2, K Road, Werribee. Treatments start at $125 for a 45-minute Payot massage.
The Lyall Hotel & Spa, St. Kilda
Nestled in amongst the hustle and bustle of St. Kilda, and the spa at the Lyall Hotel is a favourite of Melbourne’s in-crowd. For expecting mothers, the Lyall Spa even offers a formulated Pregnancy Massage, for women in their second and third trimesters.
16 Murphy Street, South Yarra. Treatments start at $130 for a Swedish-style massage.

If you’re after one of Melbourne’s more boutique spa experiences, Skin Day Spa is a hole-in-one. We recommend Skin’s own signature skincare products, which include their best-selling Skin Saviour Vitamin Serum.
147 Chapel Street, St. Kilda. Treatments start at $105 for a 45-minute relaxation massage.
Park Club Health & Day Spa at The Park Hyatt, CBD
Featuring a mosaic-adorned pool to rival Sydney’s Langham Hotel, the Park Club offers a wide range of treatments in partnership with boutique British skincare range Linda Meredith. The catch? You’ll likely never want to leave, especially after receiving a custom Tailored Massage to banish aches you never even knew you had.
1 Parliament Place, Melbourne. Treatments start at $100 for a 30-minute relaxation massage.
