The World Luxury Spa Awards gives recognition and sets the benchmarks in quality, innovation and service for spas around the globe. Whilst we’re honoured to be nominated in 3 categories, we are most excited about our new 'Luxury Hot Springs category' inclusion. We recognise these past eighteen months have been challenging for all and we would like to take the time to thank you for continuing to support us during our closure and in our path to recovery. If you've enjoyed your experience at Peninsula Hot Springs this year, or over the last 16 years, we would wholeheartedly appreciate you taking the time to vote for us.

It may be tempting to just stay inside, warm and wrapped under a blanket during the cold days of winter but being proactive about your wellbeing can help you get through the chilly months healthier than ever. Make sure to prioritise movement, eat well and nurture your immune system to keep your health in great shape all season long. Regular exercise in fresh air is one of the pillars of healthy living.When it comes to keeping active, it's important to also focus on recovery.

Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) is a Norwegian term for achieving the ultimate level of cosiness. Living so close to the Arctic circle, Norwegians have long been embracing winter and actively create the feeling of cosiness to warm up a long winter. The feeling you get when you enter a warm house, or stand with your back to an open fire, or warm your hands on a bowl of homemade soup, hygge can be found in lots of places – especially in geothermal water.

NAIDOC Week, which runs from 4-11 July is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
