A Of Tassie
Tasmania is renowned for its outstanding scenery and delectable fresh produce, but what does the Apple Isle have to offer when it comes to spa and wellness?
T
asmania is absolutely teeming with beauty, from vast National Parks to long scenic coastal drives, towering mountains to rolling hills of lavender, and its reputation for friendly residents, incredible cheese, wine and seafood, brings visitors from around the globe in droves, regardless of the time of year. This constant role in the spotlight means that spa and wellness providers must be on their A-game at all times, be capable of dealing with high volumes of tourists at any given moment, and highlight and incorporate their beautiful natural surroundings into their facilities and treatments. This special set of circumstances means that Tassie spas do things a little differently from those on the other side of the Bass Straight, the most notable emphasis being placed on local and organic ingredients, holistic and wellness-based treatments, and bathing experiences – perfect for soothing tired post-hiking muscles or those enjoying romantic getaways. We chat to some of Tassie’s most highly regarded spas to find out what their unique focus and positioning is.
