Tasmania’s location in the Southern Ocean has preserved it as not only an island of rare beauty but also one of the most unspoiled places left on earth. Much of its ancient glacial formed mountains and lakes, temperate rainforests and undeveloped coastline are protected as World Heritage Area, national parks, forests and marine reserves.
This means the rains that fall, the rivers that tumble through its valleys and the oceans that brush its shores are still clean.
In such a place, it is natural that a small spa and wellness industry is growing. It started with the creation of natural treatments using endemic plants such as myrtle, boronia, lavender, leatherwood honey and seaweed and is developing now as intimate specialist spa retreats and day spas open.
What adds to your wellbeing experience is the still unhurried pace of life, the gentle sense of community that still prevails, the spectacular location of the spas and the commitment of the people to offer genuine Tasmanian treatments.
