Urban Retreat Massage & Day Spa

Urban Retreat Massage & Day Spa is a wellness venue in Gungahlin, Canberra, focused on helping guests slow down and step away from everyday pressures. Established in 2023, it presents itself as a calming place for the mind, body and soul, with ambient surroundings and treatments designed around relaxation, restoration and whole-body wellbeing. Its services include massage, body treatments, facial treatments, packages and infrared sauna experiences.

The body treatment menu includes a 45-minute body exfoliation, which smooths and hydrates the skin while supporting circulation, followed by an aromatherapy shower and an organic body balm. Guests can choose between a Coffee and Sweet Orange scrub or an Organic Sea Salt and Coconut Oil scrub. The 45-minute body wrap uses a warm, marine mineral-rich clay mask and includes a scalp massage and infrared sauna blanket, followed by a shower and body lotion application.

Facial treatments are another focus. The Classic Signature Facial using Jurlique products is tailored to the guest’s skin and combines cleansing, exfoliation, facial massage, lymphatic drainage, lifting techniques, a hydrating mask, and hand and scalp massage. There is also an Aēsop Parsley Seed Intensive facial, described as an antioxidant treatment with deep cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, facial massage, a mask, and neck, shoulder and scalp massage. These options suit guests looking for either a shorter stress-release facial or a more extended treatment centred on skin care and relaxation.

For a smaller addition to a massage or facial, Urban Retreat offers dry body brushing, a head and scalp massage, a foot massage, hot stones and coconut oil. The add-ons make the venue suitable for a solo reset or for someone wanting to build a more personalised treatment. With its emphasis on quiet, restorative care rather than a busy beauty setting, it is best suited to people seeking individual relaxation, body care or a considered facial treatment in Canberra.
