Mornington Peninsula
SAMPLE WELLBEING ITINERARY
As Victoria’s original home of geothermal bathing, the Mornington Peninsula holds a special place within the Great Victorian Bathing Trail. Just over an hour from Melbourne, it is where geothermal waters rise from deep beneath the earth and flow into a landscape shaped by coast, vineyard and native bush.
This region blends natural beauty with quiet wellness. Ocean air meets mineral rich pools, and thoughtful design honours long-standing bathing traditions. Across Peninsula Hot Springs, Alba Thermal Springs & Spa and Aurora Bathhouse, guests move between hot and cold contrast therapy, saunas and geothermal pools framed by nature.
Here, wellbeing is part of everyday life and connection comes easily to the land, to the water and to yourself.
