A Guide To Sydney’s Best Spas

Because we could all do with a little R&R.

In our hyper-connected, always-on mode of modern living, it’s easy to feel a sense of near-constant stress and anxiety that can weigh heavily on both your physical and mental health. This is why it’s essential to take time to pause and re-centre, and what better way than to book yourself a facial or full body massage with all of the trimmings. With this in mind, we’ve rounded up some of the best spas spots in Sydney that will take your next relaxation and rejuvenation session to another level.

Remember, don’t think of it as a #TreatYoSelf moment but rather an essential for your overall health maintenance—you can thank us later.

THE DAY SPA BY CHUAN

Situated just a stone’s throw away from Sydney’s CBD and nestled in the peaceful surrounds of Sydney’s The Rock precinct, The Langham Hotel houses one of Sydney’s most beautiful spas, The Day Spa by Chuan. Located underneath the famed hotel, it combines traditional spa offerings such as facials and massage but you can also customise your treatment to include a combination of the above for the ultimate indulgence. The Full-Body Facial is also a must-try—three hours in duration, it features a full body exfoliation, massage and a bespoke facial to ensure you feel relaxed and refreshed from head to toe. Don’t forget your swimsuit so you can take a dip in the 20m indoor heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi pre- or post-treatment.
