Alba Thermal Springs and Spa

Place has an eerie, squid game kind of vibe. Has a weird Scientology, silent retreat for adults kind of energy. Could’ve just been the sterile, concrete buildings and everyone walking around in the white robes. Or the staff memebers patrolling in black suits. Never had this feeling at any other hot springs/spa/wellness space though. Very clean and beautiful to look at. A plethora of hot pools however i thought it was too much of the exact same thing. Would’ve loved there to be more of an indoor area also to spend time in. The slow cooked beef was fantastic though, highly recommend it.

Alba has a nice, well-built design with warm pools that are enjoyable to relax in. However, it lacks trees and vegetation, which would have created more of a getaway feel and provided separation between the pools. The space felt a bit too clean and open. It would have been helpful to have the pool temperatures displayed next to each pool rather than only at reception. The restaurant offered creative and delicious flavours, but the outdoor chairs were quite uncomfortable and could use pillows for extra support. On a positive note, the white gowns were incredibly soft and comfortable to wear.

We prefer this place over the competition across the road. I was warned by others that Alba is just a “concrete jungle” but I think the design of the space was beautiful. All of the pools were unique and different to again the competition across the road. This place is way less crowded and has a more private luxurious feel for a similar price point. We weren’t jammed packed a dozen people in very single pool so it was nice to unwind and relax in a much more private scene. I like that lockers & robes are included in the price point and the women’s change rooms have Dyson hair dryers to use; how luxurious! You honestly could relax here all day! Both the outdoor cafe and the dining inside is quite nice. The fries, cocktails & hot chocolates were very delicious! My partner found the danishes scrumptious too. This destination is not only worth the visit but worth visiting again!!

Place was super aesthetic. However, the only worthwhile experience there was probably the private spa experience. You were able to order drinks and food as well during which was nice. I wish it was more private as others that are entering the area can still see you, however it was private enough.

My friends and I used to visit Peninsula Hot Springs, but this was our first time trying Alba, and we have to say—it exceeded our expectations! Everything inside was fantastic, from the beautifully designed facilities to the perfectly heated pools. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing and comfortable！

My partner and I had a thoroughly enjoyable day here - at least 5 hours, including a brief cafe visit (not cheap). A good variety of pools, as well a sauna. We were lucky and had a 2 for 1 entry, which halved the price. Weather was fine, and not too crowded. Very modern, architect-designed establishment, with a lot of local flora.

I recently visited Alba with Mum for a weekend away. I gifted her a red balloon voucher that was access to the pools, a 2 course meal for two and a free gift. Firstly the property of Alba is lovely very modern. The change rooms were great and liked how you could lock the lockers with your wristband. The pools ~ The temperature of the pools were at 32 degrees which is not as warm as they normally are. This did mean you didn’t stay warm for that long. We found a good pool we could chill in however they do fill up with quickly with groups. They also have a wet and dry sauna that helps keep you dry. We greatly appreciate that the staff accommodated for the pools not being at the right temperature and offered another opportunity for us to visit again at another date. The meal ~ We enjoyed an entree and main meal with a complimentary drink. We had spanner crab on crumpets and grilled eggplant t for entree and ocean trout poke bowl and beef with potatoes for main. The entrees had great flavour and the mains were very fresh and included a great variety of vegetables. The beef was one of the best I’ve ever had as it was very tender and easy to eat. Will be keen to revisit Alba and enjoy myself again.

What a great experience. I had a great time at Alba with my friends. The experience areas are very private and quiet. Dinner at Alba is also very delicious, reasonable dinner combo. The restaurant is very beautiful and classy. Will come back when the weather is warmer
