Alba Thermal Springs & Spa
The experience
Alba, in full
Opened in 2023 a short drive from its famous neighbour, Alba is the Mornington Peninsula's design-led answer to mineral bathing. Its water rises from aquifers more than 500 metres down, naturally heated and classified as a sodium-chloride bicarbonate spring carrying sulphur, calcium, magnesium and potassium.
More than thirty pools thread through zones with names like The Forest, The Ridge and Southern Dunes, running a comfortable 36–41°C with 19°C plunges for contrast. The mood is calmer and more adult than the big family springs — and the accessibility is the best we have seen, with hoists, accessible pools and step-free paths throughout.
Signature: Private Terrace pools, each with its own deck.
