Summer in Sydney is a wildly busy time, which makes the upcoming launch of Reset, a serene wellness studio in Double Bay, feel particularly timely – just as daylight savings sets in and signals the start of silly season. Conceived less like a public bathhouse and more like an elevated private residence, Reset is all about stillness, ritual and refined design – a sanctuary of stone, salt and cedar that invites Sydneysiders to, well, reset. Treatments and therapies are designed to restore the body and soul from the inside out, and it's all on track to open later this month.

At the heart of the space is a commitment to time-honoured therapies, reimagined with a distinctly contemporary touch. When it opens its doors, we can expect to be greeted with traditional cedar saunas, a halotherapy cave built from blocks of Himalayan salt, vitamin C-infused showers, eucalyptus steam rooms and private, beautifully-designed contrast therapy rooms.

Unlike some of the city’s sprawling bath houses, Reset is deliberately intimate. The centrepiece is The Circuit: a guided communal ritual for just five guests at a time, taking you through sauna, spa, steam and plunge. There are also two private contrast therapy rooms for a more exclusive experience, plus a red-travertine salt cave designed for meditative halotherapy sessions, and a treatment room offering massage, facials, full-body LED light therapy and IV treatments to give your wellness a boost from the inside.

The holistic offerings are reason enough to visit, but the intentional design of the space really sets it apart. Created in collaboration with Surface Gallery and artisan studio Natural Brick, the Reset aesthetic is perfectly executed barefoot-luxury: all breccia stone counters, travertine-lined spas and checkerboard stone floors softened by sculptural curves and French-wash walls. 

Beyond treatments, the studio will also open its doors for intimate events, shoots and launches, making it both a wellness destination and a creative hub. 

Reset is on track to open at 15 Knox Street in mid-October, with an exact opening date still to be confirmed. You can stay up to date via the Reset website and Instagram page
