Looking for the best day spas in Melbourne? You’re far from alone, and you no longer need to leave the city for a luxury wellness experience out in Daylesford or the Mornington Peninsula.

Melbourne is now home to an impressive collection of luxury day spas, hotel spas and wellness retreats that offer everything from indulgent massages and advanced facials to infrared saunas and holistic therapies.

Most importantly, many of the day spas we’ve listed in our curated guide tend to evolve with the dynamic global wellness industry, which is projected to reach $9.8 trillion by 2029. We feel Melbourne is ahead of the pack here, with enough diversity that we can find exactly what we need, exactly when we need it.

And big business means big investment, so you’ll find plenty of five-star hotel spas overlooking the CBD, as well as neighbourhood favourites in Collingwood, Cremorne and Armadale. The best day spas in Melbourne cater to every kind of reset.

In short

If you only have enough time and budget to visit one of these Melbourne day spas, we recommend making the short drive out to L.M. Spa at the Lancemore in Werribee Park. It’s not as big as some of the city spas, instead fitting seamlessly into a 19th-century mansion that’s set on some of the most beautiful manicured gardens in the state.

That kind of nature-based escape really doubles down on the privacy and seclusion, so it’s a great way to reset the mind without having to walk straight back out onto the busy streets of Melbourne CBD. Plus, groups can opt for a spa and high tea package if they want to make a full day of it.

1. Chuan Spa at The Langham, CBD

High above Southbank’s flood of tourists, the Chuan Spa is a tranquil retreat where pampering meets inner peace. Chinese culture and aesthetics define the Chuan Spa experience, so go with the (Feng Shui) flow and try the 150-minute Tao of Detox package. Featuring exfoliation, algae wrap, massage and a facial that always leaves our skin plumped and mind and body aligned.

We love the hotel’s rooftop pool as well, which has a saltwater Jacuzzi with spectacular views across the city. It’s tempting to spend all day at The Langham when life gets a bit too loud, making this one of our favourite luxury spas in Melbourne CBD.

Where: The Langham, Melbourne, level 9/1 Southgate Ave, Southbank

2. Crown Spa at Crown Towers, Southbank

There aren’t too many places that do justice to the word regal, but the Crown Spa is one of them. Plush lounges and velvet curtains set the scene for a truly lavish experience, best enjoyed with one of the treatment menu’s many facials worked in collaboration with caviar-infused Swiss beauty brand La Prairie.

Products from La Prairie are combined with specially selected masks and heat treatments that always leave us looking refreshed and radiant. It’s no wonder celebrities are frequently spotted here: it’s glitzy, glamorous and you’ll be treated like royalty.

3. Park Club Health and Day Spa at Park Hyatt, CBD

We can’t get enough of the Romanesque décor every time we step into Park Club Health and Day Spa. Park Hyatt has done well to make their hotel spa feel exceptionally private and luxurious, cocooning you away from the outside world and offering inner-city luxury at its finest.

We recommend the simple 30-minute mini facial, so you have more time to explore the rest of the spa. Staff also specialise in prenatal and postnatal massages, hot stone massages and body wraps, so while the treatment menu is smaller than some of the other spas in Melbourne, there’s still a lot of choice.

If you want something really indulgent, try the purifying lemon myrtle clay body wrap, which uses a blend of Australian bentonite clay and lemon myrtle to detoxify the body.

Where: 1 Parliament Square, Melbourne

4. L.M. Spa at Lancemore, Werribee Park

It’s hard to believe the luxurious L.M. Spa is just a 30-minute drive southwest of the CBD. The spa is housed within a 19th-century mansion, set upon sprawling manicured gardens that leave you feeling as though you’ve been transported to a scene from Downton Abbey rather than outer Melbourne.

Get the gals together for a day trip and spoil yourselves with the spa and high tea package, including a 60-minute massage, use of all the spa facilities, and high tea at the hotel’s restaurant, Joseph’s Dining, with free-flow prosecco. The Mansion Spa offers the perfect little getaway, and you won’t even have to leave Melbourne.

Where: Escarpment Rd, Werribee VIC 3030

5. The Ritz-Carlton Spa, CBD

The Ritz-Carlton Melbourne only opened in 2023, so the hotel’s signature spa has been getting plenty of attention in the wellness community. If you’re looking for a five-star hotel spa experience in Melbourne, it’s hard to overlook the thoughtful, tailored packages that make up the Ritz-Carlton Spa menu.

For a great date idea, the 30-minute couples bath ritual takes place high above Melbourne’s skyline in an aromatic bath with rose petals and rose otto treatment oil, plus Champagne and chocolates. Standalone massages start from $230, although most are $300 and offer a comprehensive treatment along with high-end products.

6. Holism Retreat, Chadstone

This day spa in the fashionable M Gallery Hotel Chadstone takes a more holistic approach to wellness in Melbourne. Based on the principle of interconnectedness, Holism Retreat’s treatments are designed so guests can explore themselves across skincare, yoga, meditation, massage, education and light therapy.

We love it because it’s one of the only Melbourne spas that offers lymphatic drainage massages alongside wellness packages and facial rituals. In August 2026, the spa also extended its weekend trading hours and is now open until 6:45pm on Saturdays and Sundays, to meet demand.

Stick around after your morning yoga class for a clean breakfast, a swim in the hotel’s intimate rooftop pool, and a high-end spa treatment that’ll leave you feeling confident and content.

7. The Feel Good Hood, Hawthorn

The Feel Good Hood is a not-for-profit wellness centre that also offers gym access and personal training. The team behind it are so deeply rooted in the community that the centre’s swimming program, Feel Good Dips, is easily one of the best things to do in Hawthorn for both locals and visitors.

If you’re wondering where you can take an ice bath in Melbourne, head straight to this hidden gem. There’s also an infrared sauna for when you want to sweat those chills away. There’s also an Allied Health program, so you have access to physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors.

8. Sense of Self, Collingwood

Designed as both a bathhouse and a day spa, Sense of Self is Collingwood’s most comprehensive and modern wellness offering. In addition to the usual day spa treatments, this large venue also offers a mix of bathing, sauna and cold plunge experiences, in addition to traditional massages.

The menu is quite broad, so you could pop in for something as quick as the 30-minute Gua Sha facial with a four-step Mukti Organics cleanse, or a 90-minute remedial massage designed to address deeper muscular issues.

9. Relinque Urban Retreat, Ivanhoe

Relinque Urban Retreat is a luxury day spa in Ivanhoe, regularly luring guests with premium treatment suites and a modern yoga and Pilates studio. Like most of the other entries on this guide to Melbourne’s best day spas, the offering goes far beyond your traditional spa, with water therapy, facial therapy, body therapy and several wellness packages.

For their peak offering, go for the Release package, conceived as the ultimate wellness experience with body exfoliation, jet steam shower, Gua Sha stone ritual, a signature full body massage and more. You also have the option of shorter, more affordable treatments like the standard deep tissue massage.

10. Blanc Spa, Prahran

Blanc Spa is part of Hawksburn Village on Malvern Road. We love the simplicity and focused service from this day spa in Prahran, elevating the experience with a strong sense of community and reasonable prices. The spa menu offers a lot of variety across facials, skin corrections and massage treatments, and there’s also a shop with high-quality skincare and wellness gifts.

If you want basic, opt for the 60-minute Relaxation Massage and add on some premium beauty services for a full reset. This is also a spa that offers couples treatments, as well as the 150-minute UltraCalibre package for advanced nervous system recovery, using UltraFusion, magnesium therapy and LED restoration. It’s so thorough that we’re not surprised it picked up an award for Best Spa Experience in 2025.

Where: 572 Malvern Rd, Prahran

11. Little Company, Collingwood

With a presence in Byron Bay as well, Little Company is one of Melbourne’s best high-end day spas for facials and skincare concerns. Signature treatments, like the 60-minute LTCO Ritual Facial, are focused and curated towards anti-ageing, but the extensive spa and massage menu has plenty of options.

Non-invasive skin treatments like NanoFusion are also on offer, as well as an LED Red Light Room so you can pop in for a quick 20 minutes of rejuvenating light therapy. Skincare is front and centre, offering something a bit different to your usual day spa.

Where: Montalto Pl, Collingwood

12. Natskin Skin & Body Therapy, Ringwood North

Natskin Skin & Body Therapy stocks great products, offers affordable massage treatments and specialises in couples and groups. Grab a Warm Stone Massage, or pick up some Aspect skincare after an advanced hydration facial.

The team here know the ins and outs of wellness when it comes to taking care of the skin and body, so take advantage of the expert knowledge and leave knowing exactly what your body needs and when.

There’s even an option to buy an Advanced Resurfacing Plan, which is a high-corrective advanced program consisting of three SkinPen Needling treatments, three Dermafrac Treatments with LED, and an advanced Recovery Homecare Kit. That one will set you back just over $1,500, but it offers a lot if you want stronger correction on your skincare journey.

13. Sunlighten, South Melbourne

There aren’t too many day spas in South Melbourne, but Sunlighten does just fine. The wellness hub is mostly focused on sauna and Infrared therapy while placing great importance on a supportive environment.

Unlike most of the other top spa experiences in Melbourne, you won’t get a massage or facial at Sunlighten. All that’s on offer is research-based, full-spectrum Infrared therapy as well as mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy designed to confer various health benefits such as increased alertness and improved sleep.

Where: 359 Clarendon St, South Melbourne VIC 3205

14. V Hotel Spa, CBD

Considering it’s one of the highest-rated day spas in Melbourne CBD, you’ll need to book far in advance if you want a treatment at the stylish V Hotel Spa on Little Collins Street.

Comprehensive spa packages nail the affordable luxury trend with high-quality products and fantastic service. You’ll find that many groups tend to gravitate towards this particular spa, which is why the spot specialises in couples’ massages and also offers a three-hour Hen’s Spa Package that includes a foot spa, massage, facial, body treatment, and a glass of Champagne.

You can also choose standalone massages such as a deep tissue massage, a hot rock massage, or remedial massage therapy, and then relax across the wellness hub’s hydro-steam room and series of spa baths.
