Everyone needs a little TLC from time to time, whether it’s a simple massage to soothe your muscles or you want the whole transformative package.
From the spectacular coastline to the scenic hinterland, here’s a roundup of the very best day spas on the Gold Coast – your only problem is choosing which one to visit first!
spaQ is not your average ‘set-menu’ spa – it’s all about making each treatment specific to you with room for flexibility and customisation. As part of their ‘Freshly Picked’ menu, you can individualise your ‘me time’ on arrival, after you’ve cleared your head in the complimentary hammam-inspired steam room and ice fountain — perfect for a pre-treatment warm-up.
The spa interior is chic and stylish.
Enjoyed too much Gold Coast sun? Try the ‘Skin Rescue’ package. Your skin will love you for the rehydrating facial and nourishing aloe vera body wrap; your hair will adore you for the protective treatment; and your muscles will cherish you after the back, scalp, and shoulder massage.
Get yourself pampered.
