A physical and spiritual refuge, the Southern Spa indulges your body and soul embracing a signature menu of rejuvenating and relaxation treatments.
The Southern Spa chooses to use both locally produced Island and Li’Tya spa care products. Li’Tya meaning “of the earth” is a unique range of natural spa care treatments and is expressed as a way of being — each treatment assists you to generate your own health and balance with use of the profound wisdom of ancient Aboriginal medicines, spirituality & healing modalities.
The Southern Spa, atop the pure limestone cliffs of Kangaroo Island’s Hanson Bay is a retreat in the truest sense. A short boardwalk through pristine coastland leads to the secluded Spa. Enter to experience the refreshing tranquility of unobstructed views of the wild Southern Ocean, mineral-rich and abundant in marine life, inspiring images of the last great Wilderness, the Antarctic. Emerge to breathe the pure, highly oxygenated air delivered straight from the Southern skies to complete an overwhelming feeling of well-being.
Southern Spa is perched high on a limestone cliff gazing over the wilds of the Southern Ocean. The circular structure is anchored by signature design elements of local limestone and rusted steel. Interiors feature stunning cameo views, fabrics and wallpapers by renowned Australian artist Florence Broadhurst and heated local aggregate floors. The three treatment rooms all have custom foot baths and the post treatment chill room is not to be missed.
