Peninsula Hot Springs
A sprawling park of healing springs
Just south of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula, this sprawling hot-springs destination will have you soaking in a dizzying number of geo-thermal pools surrounded by soothing native bushland. You could easily spend a day here, pool hopping, grazing and treating yourself to a massage, mud bath or facial at the luxe day spa.
Night bathing is available for those who like to soak under the stars. Indeed, you can even slumber onsite, with glamping tents on standby.
Public bathing, private spa treatments and accommodation must be booked in advance. If possible, visit on a weekday during non-holiday periods to escape the thicker crowds.
