On November 1st, the opulent Auriga Spa at Capella Sydney opened to the public, providing visitors and residents of Sydney with a range of beauty and relaxation treatments. Prior to this, the spa’s top-notch wellness amenities were reserved for visitors staying on-site.
Operating under the Capella house name Auriga Spa, the beautifully constructed chamber is located on the sixth floor of the former Department of Education building. Up to half an hour prior to an Auriga Spa appointment, day guests can utilize the retreat’s ambient spa treatment rooms, steam and sauna rooms, experience showers, and ice fountain.
Dianne April Dayagbil, Spa Manager at Capella Sydney, states, “We are thrilled to open Auriga Spa to the public and welcome day guests to discover Capella Sydney’s sophisticated wellness services and facilities.” “We wanted more people to be able to experience the Auriga Spa magic, but Fridays through Sundays have consistently been busy since we opened in March of this year, reflecting a surge in in-house guests around weekends.” These will be opportunities that present themselves as midweek appointments.
Renowned for its luxury face and body treatments, Auriga Spa is well-known in Capella’s other worldwide locations. It features prestige items that are local to the nation where the resort is located. In keeping with this philosophy, Capella Sydney’s spa menu has a specially curated line of skincare items from Byron Bay company Synthesis Organics.
The spa’s unique and uniquely Australian treatment menu includes trademark massages that aim to balance chakras, improve circulation, and relieve both physical and mental stress. These massages are inspired by the new and full moons. Prestige Rituals are among the most luxurious treatments offered at the resort; they encourage contemplation, introspection, and fresh starts. Dayagbil stated, “The Rituals, which last for two hours each, are an opulent way for guests to treat themselves and escape the pace of the bustling city outside our walls.”
There are also other Wellness Journeys available that foster relationships with the earth, such the Connect to Country treatment, which uses stones that are collected from far-off places with consent from Indigenous Elders. There are also Body Alchemy packages on the menu that include luxurious exfoliation, detoxifying masks, and enzyme peel wraps. The goal of the Facial Alchemy treatments is to nourish, alter, and restore equilibrium to the skin through the use of bioactive ingredients, precious oils, and LED light therapy.
Dayagbil, who has vast experience in the beauty and wellness field and has held long-term residencies at hotels in Bhutan and the Maldives, says, “Like all other aspects of the Capella brand, the beauty and wellness program is unique to the region in which we operate and highly personalised to the needs of our guests.” “We hope to keep our clients grounded and centred by attuning our experiences with nature, something that I’m sure our day guests will now enjoy being able to tap into.”
The spa’s interaction with the century-old sandstone building it occupies is one of its main features. Make Architects and BAR Studio, respectively, handled the site-sensitive architecture and interior design, with guidance from heritage specialists Urbis.
Tremendously repaired “heritage lanterns” support three of the four spa treatment rooms. These treatment rooms may accommodate one or two people and look like modern cubes implanted into the atmospheric environment. To further strengthen the connection to history, the flooring is built from salvaged site timbers.
Only those staying on site will have access to the Technogym-equipped gym and 20-meter heated swimming pool. If a guest is not staying at the hotel and has an appointment at Auriga Spa, they should check in 30 minutes before to their appointment at the ground floor lobby.
