Holidays are no longer just some time spent by having fun and simply resting. Due to the hasty life pace, people are turning to vacations that are favorable for their health, both physical and mental. And as a country that covers an entire continent, Australia is rich with beautiful nature, urban cities and rural landscapes, where you can find wealth of pampering options. Eastern shore of the continent is especially filled with spa resorts and it is becoming a popular choice not only for Australian citizens. Everything from pure pampering, beauty treatments to personal empowerment can be found in Aussie’s spa wonderland. Let’s dive in deeper in the possibilities of such vacation.

Rest for the Eyes

Coliban River, Victoria, Australia

Put a spa resort in the centre of a concrete jungle and it won’t work as it should. But place it in the middle of astonishing nature, surrounded by ancient plants and rare wildlife and the results will be amazing. With more than 500 national parks and 15 wonders on the list of World Heritage, Australia is a paradise for nature-lovers. Just the sight of these beautiful landscapes is a cure for itself. By simply breathing in clean mountain air you can consider yourself on a therapy. Mineral water springs can be used for the same purposes and the salty water of the see is helping your immune system and facilitating the circulation of blood in your body.

One with the Nature

Rare animals inhabiting Australian continent can make your holiday far more pleasant experience. Koalas, kangaroos, sea lions, pelicans, penguins and wallabies are a delightful sight putting a smile on a beholder’s face. Besides, it is thought that socializing with friendly animals is a natural stress reliever. If needed, some centres are offering possibilities of animal therapy, which includes horse riding or farm visiting. Horseback riding is proven to be beneficial for social, physical and emotional well-being of a person.
