Indulge in hydrotherapy at this Surfers Paradise sanctuary.

The bathhouse revival has been gathering steam over the past few years, and a new retreat for unwinding is about to open on the Gold Coast. Lan Bathhouse is set to redefine wellness in Surfers Paradise with its luxurious spa baths, sauna, plunge pools, steam room and private treatments.

Founded by best friends Abby Lin and Winnie Wang, Lan Bathhouse is designed with mothers and women in mind – a sanctuary to rest, heal and reconnect. It will officially open its doors on 17 April within Paradise Centre.

Facilities and treatments

The serene bathhouse features a calming minimalist aesthetic.

The 400-square-metre space features a serene, minimalist aesthetic with soft, neutral tones, natural textures and gentle curves. There are six magnesium-infused spas, including four 38°C spas, a 24°C spa and a 12°C cold plunge pool to dip between. The combination offers the full spectrum of hydrotherapy to improve circulation, encourage muscle relaxation and enhance mobility. A menu of rejuvenating treatments, including massage therapies, head spa, singing bowl healing and body treatments, is also available in each of the five treatment rooms to complete the restorative experience.

Guests can also enjoy the offerings from the on-site bar, which includes wellness tonics, wine and cocktails to sip while you sink into stillness, as well as a selection of gourmet finger foods.

Group bookings and memberships

Indulge in an unforgettable day of relaxation

Groups of 6-8 can enjoy exclusive use of one of two private pools, and for special occasions, groups of up to 30 can book the entire venue for an unforgettable day of relaxation. If you book a private bath, don’t skip ordering the floating cheese platter.

Prices start at $35 for bathhouse sessions and from $59 for treatments. For those seeking regular R&R, Lan offers an exclusive membership program with unlimited bathhouse access for $99 per year.
