It’s halfway through the year, and winter has arrived.  What better time to revitalise your soul, far from everyday pressures and pollution?

Tasmania’s location in the Southern Ocean has preserved it as one of the most unspoiled places on earth. Away from major population centres, its air and water are fresh and pure.

World Heritage Areas, national parks, forests and marine reserves protect ancient mountains and lakes, temperate rainforests and undeveloped coasts.

On such an environmentally conscious island, it’s natural that spa and wellness experiences should be of the highest quality. They started with the creation of unique treatments using endemic plants such as myrtle, boronia, lavender, leatherwood honey and seaweed, and have developed into intimate specialist spa retreats and day spas.

So escape the pressures of your busy life – book a Tasmanian spa and wellness break today.

From Thursday 24 July to Sunday 27 July the Tasmanian Travel & Information Centre at 20 Davey Street, Hobart, is part of Spa & Wellness Awareness Week.  Call in and learn about high-quality spa retreats and day spas around the island, sample treatments, and have a complimentary mini-massage!

The week culminates with the ASPA sixth national conference, covering wellness, environmental and corporate social responsibility, strategic business skills and marketing. Join 250 delegates in Hobart to “Explore the Elements” with visiting experts and peers.

Before or after the conference, be sure to sample our island’s spas - care for your mind and body at Cradle Mountain, de-stress at the Quiet Cone Latrobe, or rejuvenate in a steaming outdoor bath in the Huon Valley.

In Tasmania, the landscape is part of the treatment.
