There are many reasons to visit the Mornington Peninsula. This new spa opening is just one of them.
There are many reasons to visit the Mornington Peninsula. This new spa opening is just one of them.
Food and wine are some of the key reasons travellers flock to Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. But with the launch of Alba Thermal Springs & Spa, the scenic region can add another feather to its cap.
Located in the town of Fingal, a 30-minute drive from Jackalope Hotel, the retreat offers 31 bathing pools and 22 wellness suites sprinkled over 15 hectares of gardens, which means privacy is almost guaranteed.
Rituals range from the 3.5-hour Peace Ceremony, which includes a massage and facial, to the 2.5-hour Hammam Float experience.
Akash is the Deputy Travel Editor for Australian Community Media. He has lived and worked in four cities around the world – Sydney, London, New Delhi and New York – and, at last count, travelled to 42 countries.
My all-time favourite destination is ... New York. You can drop a pin anywhere in Manhattan and start walking in any direction, and the sights and sounds of the city that never stops will begin to stimulate all your senses in an instant.
Next on my bucket list is … Scandinavia - at the peak of summer, when the sun almost never sets.
My top travel tip is … If you’re flying to Sydney from anywhere in the world, pick a window seat far from the wing on the left-hand-side of the aeroplane. If the weather gods and flight path align, you’ll have the most incredible views of the Sydney Harbour and Opera House.
