Spring happenings

Longer days and warmer afternoons make spring the perfect time to slow down and experience something special at Alba. This season’s highlights include:

• The return of Picnic Thyme and the introduction of an elevated picnic for special occasions
• Alba’s inaugural book club evening
• New restorative weekday spa experience
• Live jazz beside the springs

STORIES AT THE SPRINGS

Thursday, 1 October from 6.00pm

Escape into an evening of books, wine, cheese and starlit bathing at Alba’s inaugural book club, created in collaboration with Mount Eliza’s beautiful independent bookstore, Stories by the Sea.

Begin in The Sol lounge with Peninsula wine and cheese, as Stories by the Sea shares four standout reads of the season. Then, take your chosen book home to keep before heading outdoors for a starlit soak in Alba’s geothermal pools.

JAZZ AT ALBA

Thursday, 22 October – Friday, 23 October, 5.00pm – 7.15pm
Sunday, 25 October, 2.00pm – 4.15pm

This October, the Melbourne International Jazz Festival makes its way to Alba for three afternoons of live music set among native gardens and geothermal pools.

Guests choosing to bathe during this period can enjoy the pop up performances around our gardens. For those looking to make an afternoon of it, choose from our cheese and wine or canapés and wine packages, each including bathing and your choice of a picnic rug at The Luna or a reserved table in the restaurant forecourt.
