else BATHHOUSE, South Melbourne

Carved into the bones of a century-old building in South Melbourne’s historic Emerald Hill, else BATHHOUSE will soon open as a sanctuary devoted to the timeless ritual of bathing. Across three light-filled levels, preserved brickwork, timber beams and original murals will frame a contemporary space where design and stillness meet. Thermal and cold baths will lead into saunas, steam and mud rooms, and an alpine-style cabin, before ascending to Sky Bathing — open-air rooftop pools with sweeping views of the city.

Shaped by local designers and guided by global bathing traditions from Roman thermae to Japanese onsen, else will invite guests to rediscover the beauty of slowing down. The first in a series of planned destinations, it promises a refined expression of renewal, where heritage and modernity meet, and the art of bathing finds new life in Melbourne’s skyline.

Opening April 2026

Trinity Curated Wellness

Housed within Thomson House, Trinity Curated Wellness is South Melbourne’s sanctuary of ritual and restoration. Founded by Trinity Scarf, it’s where ancient healing aligns with modern science, framed by soft light and quiet luxury.

Reiki, kinesiology and functional medicine unfold as deeply personal experiences, guided by a dedicated wellness concierge. Every detail feels intentional, every visit transformative. Step inside, exhale, and let time stretch — at Trinity, wellness isn’t a pursuit, it’s a practice.

EQ

Hidden within The Eighth on Kings Place, EQ Wellbeing is where calm meets clarity. This polished South Melbourne sanctuary distils the essence of modern wellness into thoughtful, time-conscious experiences that actually fit into real life.

Newly launched experiences raise the bar further. Move & Bathe blends an energising Pilates flow with a restorative bathhouse circuit. The 45-Minute Bathhouse delivers a swift, sophisticated reset through steam, sauna and plunge. Fire & Ice pairs guided sauna and ice-bath rounds with curated music and aromatherapy for a deeply invigorating uplift.

There’s also a lounge to unwind post-session, where conversation flows as easily as calm. EQ Wellbeing feels less like a spa, more like a sanctuary for high-performing minds seeking balance without the cliché — Melbourne, meet your recharge.
