The Sanctuary at Alba Thermal Springs & Spa
Tucked away in Fingal on the Mornington Peninsula, Alba Thermal Springs & Spa’s new accommodation, The Sanctuary, spreads across 15 hectares of pure bliss. 31 pools are scattered across the grounds, some hidden in wildflower meadows, others nestled in swaying grasses, each with its own personality.
The Hemisphere perches on top like a crown jewel, with secret garden pools, a cosy steam room and a sauna that makes you wonder why you’d ever leave. The spa complements this with 22 treatment rooms offering everything from Vichy showers to couples’ massages, plus premium Australian skincare. Be shuttled across the scenic property in style and elevate your stay as you indulge in a daily private pool upgrade.
Afterwards, collapse on the mezzanine’s generous daybeds and drink in the bush views like you’ve got nowhere else to be. When hunger calls, savour daily breakfast and nightly two-course dinner at Thyme, which serves fresh, seasonal dishes from ocean trout bagels and avocado toast to roasted cod and indulgent desserts, making every meal feel like a reason to stay a little longer.
