What to pack for your wellness retreat
No idea what to pack for your wellness retreat? Preparing for your wellness getaway at Peninsula Hot Springs means packing smart to enhance your experience. First, remember your comfortable clothing; think light layers that are easy to change in and out of between spa treatments and bathing. Essential is your swimwear, as our mineral-rich waters are best enjoyed up close. We suggest avoiding light colours, as they can discolour; darker hues are preferable. To go around our grounds safely, pack non-slip waterproof shoes like sandals or flip-flops.
Don’t forget a water bottle; hydration is key when soaking in the hot springs, and we offer several refill stations around the property. While we provide towels and robes in the Spa Dreaming Centre, those visiting the Bath House may want to bring their own to save on costs or hire them from us. Lastly, consider bringing a sunscreen or a rash vest to protect yourself under the sun. If you plan to indulge in a spa treatment, we'll take care of your comfort with disposable underwear and ensure your privacy at all times.
