Spoil yourself silly at the best spas in Darling Harbour

Let all your worries and stress melt away, and soak in the moment of a relaxing spa treatment.
There’s always another thing on your to-do list and it can feel like you’ll never get it all done. But so what? Instead of speeding up, maybe what you really need is to slow down for a moment and forget it all; to take a moment and enjoy a little luxury. The best way to do that is to treat yourself to a little R&R at one of Darling Harbour’s best spas.

Sofitel Spa

Soft robes, views over Darling Harbour, and serene surrounds - that’s what you can look forward to at the Sofitel SPA. This luxurious spa is tucked away on the fourth floor of the hotel, right in the heart of Darling Harbour, and is open to both guests and the public. 

They use French relaxation and skincare techniques, combined with Australian botanicals to provide a unique pampering experience. Treatments range from bespoke facials, and massages, to body wraps, and skin smoothers. For the ultimate experience, add the aromatic bath ritual to your treatment and enjoy a 30 minute soak in a tub with champagne and panoramic harbour views. 

The Darling Spa

Mellow lighting, and quiet luxury are the themes at The Darling Spa, the winner of Best Health Spa & Wellness Experience at the Australian Accommodation Awards 2025.
