St Kilda Sea Baths has completed a State of the Art upgrade of the indoor Sea Water pool.

Operating since 1860, the venue back then was, like today a sea water pool, gymnasium and ‘refreshment’ rooms.

It is Australia’s only indoor, heated and filtered sea water pool and has undergone a ‘state of the art’ upgrade that will keep it on the cutting edge of technology, cosmetic appeal and ‘thalassotherapy’*   

The St Kilda Sea Baths pool is unique in that it pumps in fresh seawater directly from Port Phillip Bay. It is purified by massive sand filtration tanks and is heated to a very pleasant temperature. Kids are more buoyant in sea water so amongst the other offerings, there is a full swim school program, designed to learn to swim with confidence.

At the ‘Bay’ end of the pool there is a hot spa which is a great place to relax and watch the ever changing vistas of Port Phillip Bay and the foreshore. The pool also includes steam rooms and change facilities.

In addition to the pool, the St Kilda Sea Baths complex houses some of Melbourne’s finest bars, café’s, restaurants, an amazing health club and an internationally awarded Day Spa.

*Thalassotherapy is based on the principle of treating the body with seawater, either as a health cure or a preventive measure
