Communal bath houses are in – with Bondi Junction's Xtra Clubs kicking off the movement last March, the stunning subterranean Slow House opening up beneath Bondi Beach in November, and One Playground's super-affordable Urban Oasis bringing communal saunas to Sydney's Inner City. Now, another has joined the ranks – with Soak Bathhouse Alexandria now open in a huge, light-flooded space in the city's Inner South.
When Soak Bathhouse revealed plans for their stunning Bondi Junction bathhouse way back in 2023, Sydney’s spa lovers went a little bit wild – keen to get a taste of the bathhouse experience that’s been keeping Brisbaneites and Gold Coast residents in zen for a good few years now. And although the Bondi Junction space is still yet to open, Sydneysiders can now get their fix from the Inner City space.
Soak Bathhouse Alexandria – a sprawling 700 square metre bathhouse – is one of the brand’s biggest locations yet, and is home to a huge warm magnesium pools (heated to 34 degrees celsius), a hot magnesium spa (heated to 38 degrees celsius), a cold plunge pool, a huge dry cedar wood sauna and a steam room. Alongside the communal bathing space, Soak Alexandria also offers private therapies including infrared sauna sessions, LED therapy treatments and massages.
The sprawling self-care palace is housed within a new $230-million development designed by renowned Aussie architecture firm Wardle, which is also home to flexible workspaces and a huge central courtyard, with a major dining precinct and rooftop entertaining area opening soon.
