Best 5 Spas in Sydney
You’re probably stressed, exhausted, and counting down the days ‘til Christmas break.
We all know Christmas isn’t as relaxing as we’d like it to be, so the only way to truly chill out is at a spa. Trust me, if anyone tells you that you don’t need a spa to find your zen, get rid of them... you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.
Luckily for you, we’ve made the choice even easier by scouring Sydney and deciding which were the top 5. It’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it, right?
49 Market Street, CBD
8262 0088
Best for: the menfolk
This swanky spa offers all the usual bells and whistles, but it also has a classy barber’s shop, complete with antique leather chairs. We recommend the Mr Bond (40 mins/$80.00), which includes a wet shave, some eyebrow and beard taming, and a massage to make sure you’re relaxed enough for your upcoming spy business.
381 Oxford St, Paddington
9361 4014
Best for: facials
The five-star facial (75 mins/$275.00) is seriously FIVE STARS. Let yourself rest in fluffy white gowns while the skin experts exfoliate, peel, shiatsu and stop you from aging. Priceless.
89-113 Kent Street, Sydney
9256 2222
Best for: using gold in its massages!
You can start your experience here by taking a dip in their 20-metre indoor pool that looks like it belongs with the Roman baths. The perfect gold massage ($175.00-$200.00) is pure indulgence, leaving every inch of your body revelling in a cream that contains 24-carat gold particles.
7 Hickson Road, The Rocks
9256 1633
Best for: the view
Chill out in the whirlpool overlooking the harbour before you make your way over to experience a native clay and hot oil massage (90 minutes/$210.00 - $230.00). This true-blue massage places a ring of Australian clay on your back, into which hot, therapeutic oils continuously flow, gently releasing all that tension that’s built up by sitting at a desk all year.
1356 Pacific Hwy, Turramurra
9488 9944
Best for: treatment and a lunch
You can add a gourmet lunch, which includes matching wines, to any of their luxury treatments for $50,.00 and who doesn’t want to eat and drink in a fluffy robe and slippers?
