Alba Thermal Springs and Spa
Fingal
Geothermal springs from a 500m aquifer on the Mornington Peninsula, with indoor, open-air, and outdoor pools, spa treatments, and on-site dining.
Thermal springs
Thermal springs draw water from depth, where it has spent years moving through rock and absorbing minerals before reaching the surface warm. The venues listed here are built around that geology, offering pools fed by natural geothermal or mineral water rather than heated mains supply. Most of the entries on this page sit in Victoria, where a band of geothermal activity across the state's south and east has supported a cluster of springs-based venues.
