Experience the art of unwinding at JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa's, newly launched Spa by JW from Wednesday, July 12, 2023.

The new spa complements the $35 million hotel transformation, providing both local and discerning travellers a sanctuary dedicated to fostering mental and physical balance.

Located in the heart of Surfers Paradise, on the doorstep of the Gold Coast's golden beaches, overlooking the breathtaking hinterlands and immersed amongst the local greenery, step into a world where relaxation meets rejuvenation, where spaces seamlessly intertwine and guests are invited to unwind and recharge, whether they opt for a treatment or simply seek solace in the serene ambience.

Spa by JW delivers tailored treatments focused on delivering on one of our four distinctive benefits our guests wish to achieve - calm, indulge, invigorate and renew. Featuring six treatment rooms, a signature couple's room including relaxation lounge, ensuite stone bath and twin showers, traditional saunas, showers, tranquil pods and an alfresco outdoor garden terrace, Spa by JW aims to create an effortless and intuitive experience that leaves a lasting experience

As guests journey into the wellness space, they will be able to unwind amongst the sounds of the hinterlands, echoing birds and ocean shoreline, while enjoying a signature lavender iced tea on arrival to relax and uplift the mind, body and spirit, designed to stimulate collagen synthesis, strengthen connective tissue, boost blood flow and hydrate the skin. At the refreshments bar located within the mindful lounge space, a daily mix of local fruit infused elixir is available for guests to enjoy.

Curated under the expert guidance of Spa by JW Manager, Stacey Leong, the spa menu features an extensive range of signature full spa or express essentials body and skincare treatments that can be tailored to each guests needs. Amongst the menu are signature treatments such as;

• Kaffir Lime and Ginger Salt Scrub: Experience the healing properties of the luscious ginger and kaffir lime salt scrub, with an exfoliating massage made from locally sourced Bunda Ginger from Bundaberg and paired with Pink Murray River Salt, packed with salt minerals to stimulate blood flow and assist with anti-inflammation;
• Chamomile and Lavender Soak: Promote restful sleep and a balanced mind, by enhancing your spa journey in an immersive chamomile and lavender bath soak experience.
• The Native Clay Body Mask: Designed to brighten, nourish and refine the texture of your skin, with a deep sense of relaxation as tension melts away.

As part of Spa by JW, a locally inspired tea service, wine service and thoughtfully crafted food menu curated by JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa's Executive Chef, Paul Smart will be on offer; combining the indulgence of delectable treats with the blissful relaxation of the spa, promising to deliver an exquisite fusion of flavours and tranquility.

Spa by JW has been masterfully designed by Australian design studio, DBI, the building's original architects and interior designers with an effortless yet sophisticated urban aesthetic inspired by its natural surroundings.
