Mineral Spa – the place of dreams
Enter the heavenly Mineral Spa where ancient Australian indigenous dreaming philosophies, and medicines and massage techniques meet state-of-the art mineral water therapies. Together they make your dreams of being relaxed, rejuvenated and re-energised a reality.
Let the stresses of the outside world cascade away with traditional Aboriginal relaxation and healing Li'Tya treatments, using indigenous Australian botanicals such as lillypilly, wattleseed, lemon myrtle, wild rosella, Kakadu plum and desert salts.
With permission from Aboriginal elders, every Li’Tya treatment begins with a ceremony to cleanse and purify by calling upon the healing energy of the earth.
Book your treatment on one of our unique soft pak beds - the only ones in the Southern Hemisphere - and float weightlessly through the experience. Then, rejuvenate in one of our 180-jet hydrotherapy spa baths that target key pressure points or, in The Retreat, soothe tired muscles and minds in the steam room, cleanse in the detox box or sauna, and finish up soaking in the mineral enriched spa pools overlooking landscaped gardens.
Mineral Spa offers a range of massage therapies, including relaxation, aromatherapy and signature facials, as well as day packages and extensive spa rituals. It houses a relaxation room, three open-air mineral pools, a sauna, a steam room, and 11 treatment rooms.
There is no other place in the world that merges traditional Australian healing heritage with the uniquely therapeutic qualities of the region's mineral water. There are few places in the world that are quite so heavenly.
Your complete stylish getaway
Peppers Springs Retreat & Spa provides superb accommodation choices including luxurious art deco- and contemporary-styled rooms, as well as beautiful spa rooms and villas.
Sure to impress is the 1864 four-bedroom Villa Parma which is luxuriously furnished whilst maintaining original features throughout. The villa also boasts a private outdoor sauna and dining area. On the ground floor, the opulent dining room seats up to eight at an original oak dining table with French provincial style chairs, while the hand painted mirror over the mantel and distressed lime-washed walls create a distinctly French feel. Then there's the loungeroom - the ideal place to relax. It features contemporary leather furniture, original French styled chairs and lavish rugs.
In addition, the Villa Parma cellar is an unrivalled function space offering a romantic setting for all your celebrations. The original stone cellar is an elegant space seating 40 with seasonally-inspired local food.
For modern Australian cuisine in 1930's Art Deco surrounds, indulge in a five- course degustation menu in the warm and inviting DECO restaurant. Here, the seasons - and local/organic produce - are used for inspiration.
Meanwhile, warm fires burn in the lounge through winter, whilst the European-style gardens with their topiary creations, fragrant bay tree hedges, roses, herbs, and parterre garden are perfect for an evening stroll.
