If you’ve been craving a day away to truly switch off, we’ve found your next wellness escape, and it’s just 1.5 hours from Sydney. Nestled in the heart of Blackheath in the Blue Mountains, Aqua Ignis Bathhouse has officially opened its doors, offering a serene new space to restore, recharge and reconnect and a way for you to turn a simple day trip into a mini retreat.
 
Housed inside a restored 100-year-old heritage building, Aqua Ignis (which means water and fire) is all about creating harmony through contrast. The space blends natural materials, earthy tones, and modern minimalism to bring you a calming, sensorial experience from the moment you walk in.
 
Here’s what you’ll find inside:

• Hot Rock Sauna - A Nordic-inspired dry sauna kept at a steamy 85–90°C, perfect for deep relaxation and muscle recovery
• Herbal Steam Room - Infused with eucalyptus, mint and lavender to refresh, detox and revive your senses
• Magnesium Mineral Bath - A warm soak inspired by Japanese sento bathing, known for soothing sore muscles and promoting full-body calm
• Cold Plunge Pools -  An invigorating contrast therapy experience to boost circulation and build resilience
• Yin & Yang Rest Lounges - One for quiet reflection, one for connection—both designed to help you soak in the benefits of your visit

 
The bathhouse is open Tuesday to Thursday from 10:00am–8:30pm and Friday to Sunday: 8:00am–8:00pm with off peak pricing available Tuesday to Thursday at $65, and peak pricing Friday to Sunday at $70.
 
Your booking includes a full-size bath towel and sauna towel and 2.5hours use of all facilities- the perfect amount of time to reset.
 
Feeling the call to slow down, head for the mountains and give your body (and mind) the reset it deserves?
