The Best Day Spas to Visit on The Gold Coast in 2023
SpaQ Gold Coast
Stepping into SpaQ (situated inside the stunning QT Gold Coast hotel) is like stepping into an oasis oozing traquility as soon you're handed a cup of herbal tea on arrival. Among the signature treatments calling our names are The Plush Princess (a 150-minute therapeutic salt scrub, massage and facial massage combo), and the Pure Gold (a 180-minute treatment that involves a foot bath, massage and facial).
If you're more of a social butterfly, there's a variety of packages to pick from whether you're here for a couples retreat or a bonding sesh with your closest friends.
Don't forget to arrive early if you've booked a one-hour or longer treatment as complimentary use of the Hammam-inspired steam room is included.
Endota Spa
Endota Spa is renowned across the country for its spa treatments and products. And of course, there is one to visit if you're wanting to unwind on the Gold Coast - it's located on Surf Parade Broadbeach. Choose from the wide-ranging menu, with treatments including facials, peels, waxing, tinting, hydro-microdermabrasion and new-age light therapy among the many options. Want the mood to last even longer? Purchase some Endota spa and skincare products to take home.
Spa by JW Gold Coast
The mantra touted by Spa by JW (located on-site at the JW Marriott Gold Coast), is that this day spa is an "experience that favours simplicity over complexity and clarity over mystery". Its menu speaks to this, with a whole section - the aptly named Express and Essentials - offering treatments such as a relaxing scalp massage and bath therapy that are 30 minutes are less. For those who want to linger in unadulterated bliss a little longer, never fear! There are plenty of options that last a little longer. We implore you to check out the Sensory Spa Degustation menu.
Soak House Mermaid Beach
Soak House has become something of a cult favourite for those who love to find ways to de-stress. There are several Soak House locations, including Mermaid Beach, where "soaking" is the name of the game. Enjoy hot spas, mineral baths, cold punge, the wood sauna and the steam room and the health benefits that come with bathing. If you want to add extras, try an LED facial or indulge in a massage.
