Destination Spas

In the late 1800s Tasmania was seen as the “sanatorium of the south” by colonial settlers in India and travellers from mainland Australia seeking respite from the extreme heat.  They sailed here seeking the cool climate, the greenery that reminded them of home and a small friendly community.

Today, with concern about pollution, the stress of juggling work and family and the pressures of city living, Tasmania is still a place of refuge from extreme heat and everyday stress. Better yet, a journey is no longer required; in little over an hour from Melbourne (a little more from Sydney), you can be picking up your hire car for the short drive to a spa of your choice.

Our destination spas offer you the chance to spend a few days in a stunning location being looked after by highly trained experts. You will emerge relaxed and rejuvenated.
