Spa & recovery in Fremantle

Four sites between the South Terrace studio and the beaches at South Beach, Leighton and Hillarys Boat Harbour, and the format changes with the location. The studio runs private infrared rooms at thirty minutes and a private magnesium bath and sauna at sixty; the beachside rooms are communal, including a silent session where nobody talks. A bath house experience and massage run alongside. Booking is online.

Massage across remedial, relaxation, pregnancy, hot stone and lymphatic drainage, with reiki and reflexology on the same menu and float tanks in the building. Hour-long sessions run $129–$159, evenings included most nights, and a membership from $95 a month suits people who treat it as maintenance rather than a treat.

An Aveda lifestyle salon and day spa on High Street, Fremantle, running since 2010: four spa rooms, a relaxation lounge, two pedicure spas and twelve hair stations with massage chairs at the basins. Massage with aromatic oils, facials, waxing, tinting, spray tans and makeup sit beside low-tox hair colour and styling, all with Aveda's plant-derived products, and the salon runs RISE, a wellness program for people affected by cancer.

A small studio within the Sanctuary Wellness Collective on Wood Street, Fremantle, founded by Amy and run as a collective of women practitioners. The published programme includes a fortnightly Monday meditation and sound bath from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, a weekly Thursday evening stretch class, and monthly sound bath and yoga events. Practitioners also offer one-on-one sessions in reiki, breathwork, yoga therapy, kinesiology and remedial massage, by appointment.
