Soakember celebrates the health benefits of hot springs, hydrothermal therapies, and nature-based wellness activities.
Each November, hot springs destinations around the world come together to celebrate Soakember, a global movement founded during the pandemic, when countries in lockdown could still find connection through a shared love of thermal waters. What began as a way to stay linked across borders and social distancing has grown into an annual celebration of hot spring culture worldwide, uniting soakers everywhere under one simple idea: we may be separated by oceans, but we're connected by water.
Soakember is a reminder that hot springs are Mother Nature's original wellness destination. Long before spas and wellness retreats, communities gathered around thermal waters to heal, restore, and connect; and that tradition continues today, from the onsen of Japan to the mineral baths of Europe to our own thermal springs here on the Mornington Peninsula.
Throughout November this year, we're celebrating the many health benefits of soaking; from easing muscle tension and supporting circulation, to the immune-boosting and stress-relieving effects of time spent in nature. We're also inviting guests to enhance their experience with our range of signature wellness activities.
However you soak, whenever you soak, we invite you to be part of a worldwide celebration of healing, community, and connection this Soakember.
