Spa & Wellness Rituals
Six treatment pavilions tucked into the tropical gardens, a thermal circuit of steam, salt and plunge — and rituals built on Kakadu botanicals and Top End mineral salts.
The Experience
Designed around the detail
The spa menu is written around the Top End's own apothecary: Kakadu plum, quandong, lemon myrtle and mineral salts drawn from the harbour. Rituals run 60, 90 or 120 minutes and always include the thermal circuit.
The circuit moves between a eucalyptus steam room, magnesium salt pool at 36°C, an 18°C plunge and a warmed travertine relaxation deck. Morning sessions are reserved for guests seeking silence; the garden pavilions take treatments outdoors.
