Spring Celebration

Locals have always enjoyed the natural mineral waters near Gippsland Lakes, and now visitors can too, with the opening of Metung Hot Springs. Water from 500 metres below the earth’s surface is drawn into hot spring pools with views of the surrounding landscape, including the lakes. Relax a while, plunge into the cold pools and, if you can’t get enough, stay overnight in one of the 10 glamping tents. +metunghotsprings.com

Relax and rejuvenate at Mornington Peninsula’s newest hot spot, Alba Thermal Springs & Spa, a wellness destination where beautiful design and geothermal springs merge.

In the heart of the Morning Peninsula, mineral-rich geothermal waters are pumped from deep underground to fill Alba’s 31 pools.

Restorative Waters

Indulge in the peaceful surroundings and discover the restorative power of geothermal springs. There are warm pools and cool pools, secluded pools and social pools, forest pools and botanical pools. Then there is the Eve, the sunset pool where you can settle in and watch the sun sink in the west.

There are also private rooftop pools, including three salt pools where you can float weightlessly, gazing up at the sky. Plus, three private terrace pools are perfect for a small group of friends.

Indulge Yourself

From luxurious full-day self-care packages to half-day rituals and treatments, including Vichy and hammam sessions, Alba’s day spa allows you to take a moment for yourself.

Looking for an indulgent experience? The Stars offers two guests exclusive use of the Terrace pool for geothermal bathing, as well as champagne, a massage and candlelit dinner on the private deck.
