Natural Mineral Water Spa Treatments

Plunge into Australia's most natural resource.

Forget miracle creams and botox treatments. If you are desperate for that healthy glow, indulge in the one thing that really works, natural mineral water spa treatments.

Experience the invigorating benefits of the natural mineral water springs and treatments that are in abundance in the Macedon Ranges and Spa Country region. Not only is 80 per cent of Australia's natural mineral water sourced from the region, but it is also the only region in Australia that you can indulge in a luxurious pure natural mineral water bath.

The benefits of natural mineral water were discovered in ancient times, and have long been used for health and healing purposes, as well as being an essential element in beauty regimes.

Natural mineral water contains more than double the amount of chloride and silica than non mineral waters, two powerful minerals which assist to prevent skin disorders and inflammation, as well as enhance skin, hair and bone formation.

In addition to the health giving benefits of natural mineral water spas, the region has arguably the greatest concentration of masseurs and natural therapists offering alternative therapies such as acupressure, acupuncture, aromatherapy massage, bowen therapy, chiron healing, crystal healing, deep tissue massage, exfoliation massage, lomi lomi, osteopathy, reflexology, reiki, relaxation massages, shiatsu, Swedish massage, tuina, and trigger point massage.

Shizuka Ryokan Day Spa Retreat specialises in unique Japanese face and body treatments. Experience the ancient secrets of the Geisha with a range of treatments, or de-stress the body and soothe the soul with reiki, shiatsu or relaxation massage.

If you fancy indulging in the more traditional beauty treatments, a variety of operators offer mineral spa baths using local mineral water, as well as hydrotherapy, massage, facials, mud wraps and sea salt body scrubs.

The Acqua Viva Day Spa is a boutique day spa specialising in a range of treatments - salt scrubs, mud wraps, hydrotheraphy, massage and facials. One of the first day spas to use local mineral waters in their treatments, Acqua Viva will ensure that you are pampered in style.

Relax and rejuvenate in the Macedon Ranges and Spa region. Therapists such as Nick Massaro who now calls the region home, for many years helped our Olympic heroes unwind.

The Macedon Ranges and Spa Country is renowned for its many natural attractions and beautiful surrounds, but above all, you can't fail to be impressed with the region's rich spa heritage.

The Hepburn Spa Bathhouse was established in the Hepburn region in the late 1860s followed by an impressive list of award-winning spas and retreats that attract international guests, including the recently opened Salus Day Spa at Lake House, The Day Spa at Springs Retreat and numerous other boutique operators, offering a range of treatments and packages.

The region has been perfecting spa and water treatments for over 100 years. Now a hot spot for the bride-to-be preparing for her big day, hen's nights, wedding parties, anniversaries or just to spoil yourself, the Spa Country's natural mineral water spas and massage treatments are guaranteed to transform the mind, body and soul.
