Aqua Vitae Day Spa - Manly

Aqua Vitae Day Spa - Manly offers a broad range of treatments in a garden setting just off Manly’s CBD on Pittwater Road. The spa combines treatment rooms with a quieter outdoor environment, making it a practical choice when you want time away from the pace of the Northern Beaches. Appointments range from shorter treatments to half-day and full-day packages, with options covering massage, facials, body treatments, beauty services, hydrotherapy spas, waxing and tinting.

Massage is a strong focus, with relaxation, hot stone and pregnancy treatments available in several durations. The spa also has a double room for shared sessions, including couples or friends’ massages. Treatments are presented as opportunities to ease muscular tension and switch off, with the setting adding aromatherapy oils and candlelit rooms to the experience. Shorter options, such as a scalp, foot or hand massage, may suit visitors looking for a brief treatment rather than a full spa visit.

The facial menu is similarly varied, with treatments selected according to skin type or concern. Options include the Pro-Youth Intensive Facial, the Sothys Hydra 4 Intensive Facial for dehydrated skin, the Illuminating Intensive Facial and Diamond Microdermabrasion Facial. There are also treatments for sensitive skin and professional peel options. The spa says its beauty therapists can help shape a skincare routine around a guest’s skin, condition and budget, although visitors should discuss suitability with the therapist before booking more intensive treatments.

Aqua Vitae is suited to solo visitors seeking a restorative appointment, as well as pairs wanting to share a massage in the double room. Its packages for couples and groups extend to pamper parties, hens’ days and corporate functions, giving the venue a social use beyond individual treatments. Gift vouchers are also available and, according to the spa, do not expire. The team is described as comprising highly qualified therapists, with bookings and enquiries handled directly by the Manly location.
