2. City Cave Noosa

Allow the weight of the world to melt into oblivion thanks to a spin at City Cave Noosa, an ultra-calm spot filled with a range of science-backed therapies.

Float in a two-person-sized pool filled with 400 kilograms of Epsom salt as gentle music sends you into a state of total ease (or choose to go music-free if that’s more your jam). There are also infrared saunas to help amplify circulation, purification and muscle relaxation, and a wide range of massages to suit everybody, including mamas-to-be.

This day spa is actually a franchise business with at least 60 successful City Cave centres across Australia and New Zealand, so you can expect real results.

3. Ikatan Day Spa

Those seeking Nirvana needn’t hop on a plane to Indonesia. Instead, discover a Balinese paradise hidden in Noosa.

Ikatan Spa is an Asian-inspired rejuvenation destination set among a lush gardenscape. In a tranquil Balinese-style bungalow, guests can indulge in a choice of massage styles ranging from Balinese to chi to hot rock.

Prior to your visit, you can also order bubbles and wine, enriching herbal teas and a tempting selection of bites and platters to feast from. There’s even high tea on the menu if you’re visiting with a group of four or more in total.

4. Noosa Beach Yoga

Begin your day as you mean to end it: on an uplifting note, with Noosa Beach Yoga. A small group assembles on Hastings Street in Noosa twice each morning on weekdays and once on both Saturday and Sunday, before strolling to a shady area in the Noosa Woods that overlooks the water.

There, participants are treated to a series of deep stretches and movements led by a yoga devotee. Classes are suitable for all ages and owner Claudia and her team also take private class bookings set amid the natural beauty of Noosa. Children under 12 are more than welcome and are also free of charge.

5. AQUA Day Spa

With its chic, sophisticated backdrop, AQUA Day Spa is hidden away inside the Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort.

Soak in an aqua therapy pool, book a massage and a facial, or consider an inclusive and indulgent spa package, spanning from just over an hour to more than four hours of luxe pampering.

Then, kick back in the spa’s relaxation lounge with tea and some nibbles in your newly acquired state of bliss.

6. Endota Spa Noosa

You’ve probably experienced the name, but have you visited a location this close to the beach? Endota Spa Noosa offers the Aussie-wide day spa’s signature treatments and warm service right opposite Noosa Main Beach on Hastings Street, the town’s beating heart.

No matter your pampering of choice, you’ll start your journey in the relaxation lounge where fragrant herbal tea is poured, and soft tunes bring all the feel-good vibes.
