Melbourne’s day spa scene spans CBD hotel spas, laneway studios and suburban retreats in St Kilda, Prahran, Collingwood and Port Melbourne. Pricing is not published in the data behind this guide, so every venue below is listed as quote on request, and treatment menus should be checked on each spa’s website before booking.
The 14 spas here are ranked by Google rating and review volume, with trading hours, location and treatment focus used to separate them. Opening hours vary widely, from seven days until 9pm in the CBD to Tuesday to Saturday only in Prahran.
Key takeaways
- Pricing is not listed for any venue in this guide, so request a quote or check the treatment menu before you book. Hotel-based spas typically cost more than standalone day spas.
- IOMI Spa at Sheraton Hotel is the top pick for a central CBD visit, with a 5.0/5 rating across 858 Google reviews and trading from 10am to 9pm every day.
- Wellness Beauty & Head Spa suits clients who want cosmetic treatments such as IPL and HIFU alongside head spa and sound healing, and Sensu Spa and Sense Of Self (SOS) suit those who value a very large review base (1,143 and 1,724 reviews).
- Check closing days before you plan. Skin Day Spa, Saltair Port Melbourne and Blanc Spa are closed on Sundays, Blanc Spa is also closed on Mondays, and Five Elements Spa is closed on Wednesdays.
How we ranked the best spas in Melbourne
We weighed six criteria: Google rating, number of Google reviews (a larger sample makes a rating more reliable), opening hours and weekend availability, location and access by public transport, breadth of treatments offered, and how clearly the venue publishes its services and pricing. Businesses were left off the list if they were listed as closed on Google, had no verifiable address, had no website or phone, had fewer than 5 Google reviews, or were rated below 4.0.

How to choose the right spa in Melbourne
Start with location and hours. CBD spas such as IOMI Spa, V Hotel Spa and Wellness Beauty & Head Spa are open until 9pm daily, while suburban venues like Blanc Spa and Skin Day Spa close earlier and skip some days. Check the closing days before you plan a weekend visit.
Decide what kind of treatment you want. Wellness Beauty & Head Spa offers IPL and HIFU, which are cosmetic energy treatments that usually need several sessions and a consultation. Most other venues focus on massage, facials and body treatments, and Saltair Port Melbourne’s day spa format may not suit clinical skin needs.
Ask these questions before booking:
- What is the full treatment menu, and what does each treatment cost?
- How long is each session, and is there a booking or cancellation fee?
- Are the therapists qualified, and can you request a specific therapist?
- Are there any facilities included, such as showers, robes or relaxation areas?
- How far ahead should you book for evenings and weekends?
Read recent Google reviews as well as the headline rating. A large review count, such as Sense Of Self (SOS) with 1,724 or Sensu Spa with 1,143, gives a more reliable picture than a small sample like Park Club’s 36.
How much does a day spa visit cost in Melbourne?
Pricing is not listed in the data for any spa in this guide, so we cannot give a verified range. Hotel and resort spas such as Crown Spa Melbourne and Park Club Health & Day Spa typically cost more than standalone day spas. Check each venue’s website or request a quote before booking.
How long does a spa treatment take?
Session lengths are not listed in the available data for most venues. Massage and facial appointments are commonly offered in different durations, so confirm the length when you book. If you are visiting a hotel or resort spa, allow extra time to use any thermal or relaxation facilities before or after your treatment.
Which Melbourne spas are open on Sundays?
IOMI Spa, Wellness Beauty & Head Spa, Sensu Spa, V Hotel Spa, HOLISM RETREAT, Sense Of Self (SOS), Sakura Lounge, Five Elements Spa, RELAX DAY SPA, Park Club and Crown Spa all list Sunday hours. Skin Day Spa, Blanc Spa and Saltair Port Melbourne are closed on Sundays.
Which Melbourne spas are open late in the evening?
Sense Of Self (SOS) in Collingwood closes at 10:45pm. IOMI Spa, Wellness Beauty & Head Spa, V Hotel Spa, Five Elements Spa and RELAX DAY SPA close at 9pm on most days. Hours can change, so confirm before you travel.
Do I need to book a day spa in advance?
Booking ahead is advisable, especially for weekends and evenings. V Hotel Spa, HOLISM RETREAT and Crown Spa are flagged in our data as likely to be busy at peak times. Smaller venues with limited trading days, such as Blanc Spa, have fewer available slots.
Conclusion
IOMI Spa at Sheraton Hotel is the top pick for a central CBD visit, and Wellness Beauty & Head Spa is the strongest choice for cosmetic treatments alongside head spa and sound healing. Sensu Spa and Sense Of Self (SOS) offer the largest review bases, with Sense Of Self (SOS) also giving the widest trading hours. Skin Day Spa suits St Kilda clients, Blanc Spa suits Prahran, Saltair covers Port Melbourne, and Crown Spa and Park Club suit visitors who want a hotel or resort setting.
