Best Spas in Sydney

"The Darling is yet another grant five star hotel located in the vicinity of the more underrated tourist attraction of the city, the Darling Harbour. If you’d like to explore the more mainstream tourist spots like The Opera House and The Harbour Bridge, then you’ll need to hop into a ferry or a bus. If you like a good walk, you can take a leisurely stroll through the town and you’ll reach your destination in about half an hour."

"A luxurious, contemporary hotel, The Darling in Pyrmont turns heads with its lavish lobby, decorated with sculptural lighting and vibrant floral rugs by Australian fashion designer Akira Isogawa."

"Not only does The Langham Sydney have one of the best hotel pools in Australia, but their two-level underground day day – simply titled The Day Spa by Chuan – ain’t so bad either. Consider it to the ultimate luxury wellness sanctuary, tethered to the idea that just the right amount of excess, paired with top-quality products, can have a massive effect on spa treatments. Whether you’re choosing the Champagne pear massage or the heated volcanic stones treatment, there’s plenty of reasons why The Day Spa is a sure-thing when looking for the ultimate male day spas in Sydney."

"The serene underground spa focuses on providing a holistic and thorough experience. They have a stunning 20-metre swimming pool complete with columns, a star-dappled ceiling and comfortable poolside lounges, so you can forget about the outside world for a while. The Day Spa also offers a ‘build your own’ spa treatment selection."

"Services provided:Facial treatments, massages, mani-pedis, build your own spa packages, spa socialising, and more. Price range:$AUD 115 - $AUD 760. Check out the Day Spa by Chuan here."

"With great emphasis on a dark, calming atmosphere, The Darling Spa – buried beneath The Star’s high-end hotel – is a no-brainer for those looking for Sydney’s best men’s spa treatments. And the menu is packed with variety too, from hot rocks massages to a $240 marri marli facial and back treatment formulated especially for men. Many of the treatments here are defined by Li’tya indigenous spa rituals, worked up in collaboration with indigenous elders using pure Australian botanicals, extracts, and essences."

"The name says it all: this is the darling of Sydney’s spa-land, and with good reason: The Spa takes up an entire floor of The Darling, and like the rest of the hotel it’s uber- uber-stylish. The dim lights, plush couches and sleek, dark timber furnishings create a space intimate and luxe enough to feel like you’ve climbed into honeycomb-infused chocolate – and it’s at least as delicious inside. The Spa at The Darling"

"At the top of their game, The Darling Spa is a must for the passionate hedonist. One of our go-to's for the best day spa in Sydney, you may have a hard time deciding which treatment to indulge in, but the Moroccan Hammam chamber or an invigorating session on the Kinesis wall is hard to go past. Couples are also catered for in their luxurious suites, and they're currently only open on weekends."

"The Four Seasons name promises a particular kind of experience, dah-ling – marble bench tops and opulent gold trimmings, for starters, although all the classic Four Seasons ingredients can be expected here. Indeed, the menu itself is something of an achievement with a lengthy list of facials, body treatments and massages, Dermalogica products, and local and international treatment techniques. Don’t miss out on the pièce de résistance: the ‘be-all-end-all’ package."

"With all encompassing spa packages and heavenly massages (of the relaxation, remedial or hot stone varieties) you’re in good hands for a well-deserved time-out. A range of facials, organic sugar body scrubs, microdermabrasion and beauty treatments are also available. And six treatment rooms, sauna, steam room, outdoor pool, Jacuzzi and gymnasium are all part of the experience."

"QT Sydney puts a whole lot of emphasis on wellness, perhaps even more so than any other luxury hotel in Sydney. In addition to in-room guided meditations, they’ve got both one of the best barber shops in Sydney, right next to one of the city’s best day spas. That’s a whole lot of one-stop-shop right there for those who want to truly unwind after a long week."

"Nature’s Energy is a bathhouse with spaces in Glebe, Newtown, and Balmain. All spaces stick to tradition here, seeking to capture the essence of true slow living and offer experiences built around the idea of escapism. Various treatments are made of ideas stemming from multiples cultures, from Indian head massages to Turkish scrubs."

"Southeast of the Opera House, this garden was established in 1816 and features plant life from around the world. Within the gardens are hothouses with palms and ferns, as well as the Calyx, a striking exhibition space featuring a curving glasshouse gallery with a wall of greenery and temporary plant-themed exhibitions. Grab a park map at any main entrance."

"I recommend joining an Aboriginal Heritage Walk to learn about the Cadigal people who were the original owners of this area. (every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 10am to 11.30am). Alternatively you could join a free guided tour to learn more about the plants at the Gardens."

"Located in Windsor by the Hawkesbury River, this fun playground is a good one for a party or a family gathering. Fully fenced, this park includes a climbing fort, slide, web swing, roundabout, rope tunnel, in-ground trampolines, musical instruments, and a water play area. There’s plenty of shady tables outside the play area for a picnic or just bring your own blanket and enjoy the grassy area overlooking the river."
