Soak Bathhouse Is Coming to South Melbourne
Soak Bathhouse South Melbourne is officially on the way. Opening Spring 2026 at 186 Clarendon Street, this new bathhouse Melbourne locals have been waiting for will be the newest addition to the Soak Bathhouse family, and the sixth location to bring the award-winning Soak Bathhouse experience to life across Australia.
If you've been waiting for a proper bathhouse South Melbourne ritual closer to home, this is it. Here's a first look at what's coming to South Melbourne wellness lovers next year.
A 463 square metre space made for coming together
Soak Bathhouse South Melbourne is set within a spacious 463 square metre indoor bathhouse Melbourne locals will love sharing with the people who matter most. Designed as a space to reconnect rather than retreat alone, it's built for catching up with friends, slowing down with a partner, or simply being around good company in a warm, contemporary setting. Warm travertine interiors run throughout the space, creating the kind of relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to linger and soak together.
What's inside?
Travertine mineral pools
At the heart of the South Melbourne bathhouse are two expansive mineral pools Melbourne locals will soon call their own, set within those signature travertine interiors. One pool is maintained at a soothing 34°C, perfect for easing into your session, while the other is heated to a deeply restorative 38°C for a more intense soak. Moving between the two gives you a full range of heat therapy in one visit, and it's the kind of ritual that's even better shared with friends.
Sauna South Melbourne
Step into the warmth of the dry cedar sauna South Melbourne guests will have access to, where ambient heat and natural cedar wood combine for an immersive thermal experience. Designed to support circulation, recovery and muscle relaxation, the sauna's grounding warmth and rich cedar aroma make it the perfect place to sweat it out, catch up and recharge together before or after your soak.
Cold plunge Melbourne locals will love
No Soak Bathhouse experience is complete without contrast therapy, and South Melbourne delivers it in style. Maintained at 12.5°C, this cold plunge Melbourne wellness fans will have on their doorstep, along with the drench bucket, offers an invigorating contrast to the heat, designed to awaken the senses, support recovery and boost circulation between hot experiences, all the more fun with someone by your side.
Steam room
Infused with essential oils and enveloped in gentle warmth, the steam room adds another layer to the heat experience. The humid environment helps support circulation and ease muscle tension, leaving you feeling refreshed from head to toe.
Express changerooms
Getting ready and refreshing afterwards is made easy with express changerooms stocked with complimentary body wash and moisturiser, so you can slot a soak into a busy day without missing a beat.
Herbal tea and water
Throughout your visit, complimentary herbal tea and filtered water are on hand to keep you hydrated and support relaxation from start to finish.
