Luxury Incentive Stays Now Open - The Sanctuary at Alba

June 18, 2025

Incentive groups hoping to enjoy the relaxation and rejuvenation of an experience at Alba Thermal Springs now have a luxury accommodation option on site. The Sanctuary, nestled in the dunes above the hot springs, includes five exquisitely appointed stand-alone villas and two studio rooms, allowing guests to extend their wellness experience while in residence.  

Tranquil spaces, understated luxury 

The Sanctuary is perched at the high point of the property, with the villas boasting sweeping views across the Peninsula. Handcrafted finishes and thoughtful details enhance immersion into relaxation, with a screening of native bushland giving guests privacy during their stay. Each villa is unique and includes premium amenities, including Aesop hair and body products, locally made cold pressed juice, and a complimentary mini bar stocked with wines from Ten Minutes by Tractor and specialty brews from St Andrews Beach Brewery.  

A yoga mat and self-guided meditations encourage guests to continue their self-care journey in their own space, while a pre-set log fireplace adds a touch of warm comfort. In addition, the accommodation includes breakfast at Alba’s onsite restaurant, Thyme, each morning. 

Restorative experiences 

Guests of The Sanctuary will enjoy entry to the Alba hot springs each day of their stay, including access to private pools, the spa lounge, and private changerooms. The hot springs invite guests to experience the healing power of nature, with a range of geothermal pools nestled into the exquisite and tranquil landscape of Alba. The Mornington Peninsula is a year-round destination, but in winter its misty mornings, crisp air and steamy geothermal pools create an especially magical setting for rest and reconnection. The springs, a beautiful feature of the Mornington Peninsula, are naturally heated in underground aquifers. For centuries, people have used the therapeutic benefits of these waters to achieve rest and promote healing. 

Alba Spa offers a range of luxurious self-care packages to add extra indulgence to an incentive itinerary, with massages, facials, water and steam therapy, scalp treatments and more.

Incentive event planners are spoilt for choice when creating an experience at Alba. A range of packages allow groups to indulge in luxury and relaxation, with the potential to reserve the entire venue exclusively for corporate events.
