It's the era of the big communal bath house in Sydney – with Bondi Junction's Xtra Clubs kicking off the movement last March, the stunning subterranean Slow House opening up beneath Bondi Beach, and One Playground's super-affordable Urban Oasis bringing communal sauna-ing to Sydney's Inner City. Next month, another will be joining the ranks – with Soak Bathhouse Alexandria set to open up its doors.
When Soak Bathhouse revealed
plans for their stunning Bondi Junction bathhouse way back in 2023, Sydney’s spa lovers went a little bit wild – keen to get a taste of the bathhouse experience that’s been keeping Brisbaneites and Gold Coast residents in zen for a good few years now. And although the Bondi Junction space is still yet to open, Sydneysiders are set to get their fix from an Inner City space due to open in April 2025.
Soak Bathhouse Alexandria – a sprawling 700 square metre bathhouse – will be one of the brand’s biggest locations yet, and will feature a series of magnesium pools (heated to 34 degrees celsius), hot spas (heated to 38 degrees celsius), cold plunge pools, a dry cedar wood sauna and a steam room. Alongside the communal bathing space, Soak Alexandria will also offer private therapies including infrared sauna sessions, LED therapy treatments and massages.
It will be housed within a new $230 million development designed by renowned Aussie architecture firm Wardle, which will also feature flexible workspaces, a major dining precinct, a central courtyard and a huge rooftop entertaining area.
Doors are set to open in April 2025. In the meantime, get your fix at one of the best spas in Sydney.
