VELA Spa & Bathhouse

A complete wellness sanctuary immersed in the beautiful Hawkesbury Valley.

Where restoration begins

Nestled within 8-hectares of gardens at Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley

VELA Spa & Bathhouse brings together thermal bathing, a complete contrast therapy circuit, indulgent spa treatments, restorative float therapy, luxury retail, nourishing dining and deeply grounding spaces, in one beautiful location.

VELA is your invitation to arrive, unwind, restore and awaken - a journey to experience wellbeing in its most refined form

A complete wellness destination

At VELA, every element is intentional. From the warmth of our mineral pools to the calm of our relaxation lounge, each experience is designed to restore, recharge, and renew.

Bathhouse

A tranquil thermal journey of contrast therapies designed to ease tension, quiet the mind and reconnect you to self and one another. Move between our magnesium enriched mineral pools, Nordic sauna, steam room, fire & ice room (infrared sauna and cold plunge) and our outdoor barrel sauna before completely unwinding in our relaxation lounge.

Relaxation Spaces

Calm, architectural interiors and outdoor spaces inspired by the natural elements of the Hawkesbury landscape invite stillness, reflection and deep restoration. Our Relaxation Lounge is the calming centre of VELA, a space for you to completely unwind and breathe.

Wellness Retreats

VELA is located on the same 8-hectare estate as Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley, meaning you can turn a wellness day into a full escape — with dining and an overnight stay as the perfect finishing touch.

What guests say

What our visitors say

This was the most amazing massage I've ever had in my life! My masseuse was absolutely amazing — her pressure was perfect and it was just the best massage ever.

Lauren Brenton

I never want to leave from a spa day. The staff are friendly, the range of products are fantastic — clean, professional and one of the best around.

The Coaching Co

The float tank gave me back something I didn't know I'd lost. One hour of stillness did more than a month of trying.

Emma Hartley

Therapist, Sydney

The circuit moved me through heat and cold like a conversation. By the magnesium pool, I understood why people come back.
