Fact Sheet | Alba Thermal Springs & Spa

Property Overview Alba Thermal Springs & Spa

Opened in 2022, Alba Thermal Springs & Spa is a world-class luxury wellness sanctuary in the heart of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Set within 15 hectares of landscaped native gardens, Alba combines contemporary geothermal bathing, luxury spa experiences, exceptional dining and overnight accommodation in a destination designed to restore body and mind.

Guided by a philosophy of wellness, sustainability and connection to nature, Alba has offset its emissions through Trace since its first day of operation and continues to invest in experiences that celebrate the Peninsula’s landscape, produce and community.

Thermal Springs | Geothermal Bathing

Alba offers contemporary geothermal bathing across more than 30 pools, each thoughtfully designed to create a distinct atmosphere and sensory experience. Guests can discover rain pools, forest pools, the west-facing Eve sunset pool, private rooftop geothermal pools, salt baths, cold plunge pools and The Terrace private bathing experiences.

With landscape and pools designed by MALA Studio, every pool responds to its surrounding landscape, creating moments of solitude, reflection and social connection within native gardens that continue to evolve as part of Alba’s long-term ecological regeneration program.

Spa | Treatments, Services & Rituals

The spa at Alba features more than 20 treatment rooms and an extensive menu of over 50 treatments and wellness experiences. Guests can choose from individual massages and facials, immersive bathing rituals, Vichy therapies, hammam experiences, half-day wellness journeys and full-day signature escapes.

Treatments feature leading Australian skincare partners Sodashi and Vanessa Megan, with rituals designed to complement the therapeutic benefits of geothermal bathing and support renewal, restoration and relaxation.

Thyme Restaurant

Located at the heart of the springs complex, Thyme celebrates the rich produce of the Mornington Peninsula through a seasonal all-day menu designed to complement Alba’s wellness philosophy.
