Take Five at Thalassa Spa
When it comes to winter wellness, this luxury spa has you sorted. Rebecca Jamieson Dwyer shares her five favourite experiences at Thalassa Spa for recharging your body and mind.
I don’t know about you, but as soon as winter hits, I start feeling a bit, well… blah. It’s harder to get out of bed, my skin feels dry and lizard-like, and I’m in desperate need of some TLC.
Happily, I know that Thalassa Spa – a “sanctuary of serenity” tucked just under the Mantra Sirocco resort in Mooloolaba – is a one-stop wellness shop for tired bodies and frazzled minds.

Here’s my five favourite wellness experiences to bring back the wow and to feel wonderful this winter…
1. Spa Treatments
A luxe spa treatment from Thalassa is top of my winter wishlist – and from the beautiful rooms to the expert therapists with magic hands, I can trust that it’s going to be 100% dreamy from start to finish. They know we all need a little extra hydration and nourishment for winter and created the Spiced Maple Facial, enriched with essential fatty acids and carotenes from pumpkin, carrot and seabuckthorn in a phyto-infusion of nutrient-rich maple syrup and marshmallow with hyaluronic acid; and the Spiced Chai Spa Journey – an Ayurvedic-inspired restorative body wrap ritual steeped in deliciously warming traditional chai spices. My cup of tea!
2. Float Therapy
If you’ve never been in a float tank, you’re missing out on a seriously relaxing experience where the whole world seems to disappear and there’s nothing to do but float blissfully in mineral-rich water. Thalassa’s state-of-the-art float tanks contain soothing warm water supersaturated with Epsom salts, helping to release muscle tension and ease aches and pains thanks to the magic of magnesium. This mineral absorption also contributes to softer, more hydrated skin, making regular float therapy a double whammy in the wellness department. Yes please!
3. Infrared Sauna and LED Light Pods
Want to bask in gentle warmth while letting go of tension and stress? Thalassa’s Infrared Sauna will help you shine again!
The gentle infrared warmth reaches deep into your muscles, stimulating your body’s natural detoxification process and leaving you feeling lighter and refreshed. Or try the Infrared Light Pods to immerse your entire body in a soothing glow combining deep-penetrating warmth with the revitalising effects of LED therapy to reduce fine lines, clear blemishes and even out your complexion – light me up!
4. PEMF Crystal Infrared Healing Mats
Crystals are said to be imbued with healing qualities, which is why I’m keen for the PEMF Crystal Healing Mats at Thalassa.
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy, which works on a cellular level, gently supporting the body’s natural healing processes and encouraging balance and rejuvenation. Lie on the mat in ambient lighting, listening to soft music while the warmth dissipates deep within your muscles, and the crystals release calming vibrations that harmonise the body’s energy centres. Yay to the mat to support your natural circadian rhythms.
5. Sensational Skincare
When it comes to nourishing your skin, it can be hard to know which products are really worth the investment – but luckily, the Thalassa team have done the hard work by curating their favourite products! Featuring the much-loved Waterlily Spaceuticals range, this clean, green skincare line has been handcrafted in Brisbane using powerful natural ingredients to deliver maximum results, I love the Spiced Vanilla Body Balm and Sugar Smoother for keeping that spa-fresh feeling going year-round, plus the Plasma Repair Night Cream for boosting DNA repair, plumping and hydrating. Glow on!
Thalassa is derived from the word thalassophile, meaning someone who feels an intrinsic connection to the sea – and this is certainly the place to dive into winter wellness. Sea you there!
