As you would expect, Brisbane hosts a good number of day spas in many of its luxury resorts which cater to both tourists and locals, complementing the attractions to be found on the dazzling Gold Coast, the lovely Sunshine Coast and the exotic tropical climes of Northern Queensland. Many local day spas take inspiration from the tropical climate and incorporate luscious local essences and organic compounds, brought to life by philosophies as diverse as India's Ayurvedic medicine, Thai massage and Swedish pressure point massage.
