EQ
Melbourne's newest city well-being retreat can be found southside in King's Place, South Melbourne. The innovative space at EQ provides a sanctuary to its guests upon entry, and the holistic approach promotes de-stressing to increase overall calmness and optimised performance.
Co-founder Nicolas Crema shares that EQ was created as a respite for busy professionals, recognising how overwhelming life can be and how easily stress can steadily accumulate.
Each visit to EQ incorporates a 3-hour session, in which you will experience a range of therapies and practices to transform your mind and body, including hot and cold therapies, immersive light and sound therapy, meditative breathwork with guided sessions to enhance relaxation and mental clarity, and informational sessions targeted at the best wellbeing practices.
Guests also have access to the Community Social Lounge, where you can connect and discuss your experiences with other guests, in a relaxed, judgement-free zone.
Whether you seek a moment of escape or long-term personal development, EQ is designed to cater to your needs.

Wildsoul Wellness
Wildsoul Wellness is the type of place where you come for the Pilates, but stay for the impressive recovery rooms and services available after class. This wellness hub in Melbourne may not be the option closest to the city, but it's well-worth travelling for. Offering reformer Pilates, mat Pilates and yoga, slot in for a sweat sesh before retreating to one of their many recovery rooms.
Contrast therapy, infrared sauna, compression boots, a rejuvenation room and even naturopathy are all available at your fingertips. There is also always tea available to help yourself to before or after class!
We recommend booking into the contrast therapy session. Start off with a traditional sauna before stepping into the cold plunge pool, followed by a soothing heated plunge pool. It may sound intimidating, but we promise it's not that bad! And the wonderful Wildsoul Wellness team are there to help you tap into your breathing to get through the cold plunge if you need.
