Best Urban Bathhouse
To be named Best Urban Bathhouse is a meaningful affirmation of what we set out to create — a place of calm, restoration, and thoughtful ritual.
Thank you to our community for being part of this journey.
Feeling incredibly honoured to be named Spa Leader of the Year at the 2025 World Spa & Wellness Awards!

Today, I’m incredibly proud to share that Aurora Spa & Bathhouse has been named a finalist for Independent Spa Business of the Year at the World Spa & Wellness Awards 2026.
This recognition feels especially meaningful - not just for what we do, but for why we do it.
Aurora was created as a space to slow down, reconnect and care for the whole self. Over time, it has become something shaped by many - our team, our guests, and a shared belief in the power of rest, ritual and considered wellbeing.
To be recognised on a global stage alongside such inspiring leaders in our industry is something we don’t take lightly.
To our incredible team - your care, presence and dedication are felt in every guest experience.
To our guests - thank you for trusting us with your time, and for continuing to return.
We’re deeply grateful.
With warmth, Lyndall
What lingers for me after retreat days…
What stays with me isn’t what we did, but what quietly returns.
A steadier breath.
A softer inner pace.
A remembering of what it feels like to be well—not as something to strive for, but something to live.
There’s a certain tenderness that follows days like these… where presence is shared, time feels slower, and the body remembers its natural rhythm.
After holding space at Rise & Renew x Aroha, this is how I refuel.
Sunrise light to help regulate my circadian rhythm, supporting serotonin, mood, and deeper sleep.
One of the simplest ways to bring the body back into balance after full days of presence.
Cold ocean to awaken the system, increase circulation, and release endorphins—a full nervous system reset.
Feet in the sand to slow down, ground, and reconnect.
Simple rituals—but they land differently after holding space… when your body is open, present, and quietly integrating everything it has held.
A truly memorable day shared with our international partners, @aroharetreats
Created for those carrying mental and physical fatigue, Rise & Renew invited guests to slow down, move gently back into the body, and reconnect with themselves through guided movement, meditation, deep inner work and supported rest within the Aurora Bathhouse.
It was such a special day - held with incredible care, presence and intention and beautiful to witness guests leave feeling lighter, clearer and deeply renewed.
We are so grateful for this partnership and the shared space we created together ✨
When the world feels unsteady, your rituals become your anchor.
Our Founder, Lyndall reminds us that rest is essential for resilience, and simple grounding practices can reconnect you to calm, clarity and your own inner steadiness.
Maison Savoy is a place of restoration and retreat, offering moments of stillness, clarity and reconnection.
Within the private bathhouse, daily rituals invite balance and presence, creating a shared experience that enriches everyday life.
Together with Founder of @auroraspaandbathhouse ,
@lyndallmitchell , we’ve curated a progressive experience with a ten-step journey that guides the body through phases of activation and renewal, allowing wellness to be engaged with intuitively and personally.

This month we focus on grounding rituals. As we move out of the energy of March, April becomes a time to stabilise, reconnect and return to practices that feel steady and supportive.
Grounding rituals are the small, consistent moments that bring you back into your body. Warmth on the skin, breath slowing, water moving around you, feet on the ground. Within the Bathhouse, this may look like moving slowly between heat and cool, allowing time for rest, or being conscious of the textures beneath you and you enjoy the space between each step.
We invite you to begin your next visit this week and take sometime to reconnect with you.
At Lowe Living, collaboration is intentional. Maison Savoy brings together leading experts in their respective fields, united by a shared vision to create an enduring architectural legacy.

Tennis Victoria x Aurora – The Official Wellbeing Partner for this incredible community.
I’m pleased to share that Aurora Spa and Bathhouse is the Official Wellbeing Partner of Tennis Victoria.
Throughout my career, I have seen how essential recovery, rest and nervous system support are in sustaining performance over time. This partnership brings together two worlds that deeply value consistency, care and long-term wellbeing.
At Aurora, we have created a space where people can return to themselves, restore balance and build a rhythm that supports both body and mind. It feels meaningful to extend this approach to the Tennis Victoria community.
We look forward to welcoming the team, players, clubs, coaches, volunteers and the wider community into the Spa & Bathhouse and supporting their wellbeing - both on and off the court.

Before the month ends, you might like to notice what has changed.
As February draws to a close, pause for a moment and reflect:
• What have you learned about switching off?
• Are there moments where you can rest more deeply now than a month ago?
• Which small rituals – a bath, a breath, a darker bedroom, a slower meal – are beginning to support you?
Learning to switch off is not a single achievement. It is a rhythm we return to, again and again.
My hope is that this month has offered you a little more safety in your body, a little more softness around rest, and a clearer sense that wellbeing can be lived gently over time.
