Introducing a New Era of Relaxation at the Pointhouse

The Pointhouse is thrilled to announce a transformative addition to our serene waterfront retreat: a custom outdoor sauna and expanded gardens that seamlessly blend the art of Japanese garden design with the restorative practices of Nordic spas. These new amenities promise to create a sanctuary for holistic healing and relaxation, perfectly complementing the natural beauty of the Sunshine Coast.

The spa is a private add-on experience exclusively available to guests staying at the Pointhouse, Annex, Aerie and Studio ISO and is not available to the public. Guests must be 16 or older to use the spa.

A Symphony of Design and Nature

The new gardens are designed to harmonize with the Pointhouse’s existing zen gardens and teahouse studio, creating a cohesive environment of peace and reflection.

Inspired by traditional Japanese garden principles, the space features flowing pathways, artful rock placements, water features, and curated plantings that evoke a sense of balance and tranquility. Every element is crafted to encourage mindfulness, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the present moment.

Hot, Cold, Rest, Repeat.

Nordic Spa Rituals

At the heart of this rejuvenating experience is the addition of a custom outdoor sauna, embodying the Nordic philosophy of contrast therapy.

Begin your journey by warming your body in the sauna’s soothing heat, enhanced by the aroma of natural cedarwood. Then, embrace the invigorating rush of cold therapy with a plunge into the ocean or a cool water feature, stimulating circulation and awakening your senses. Complete the cycle by resting in our serene relaxation zones, surrounded by the gentle sounds of nature.

Guests can also enjoy a hot tub experience and unwind by the fire pit, adding even more options for warmth and connection.

Ocean Therapy Meets Forest Bathing

Holistic Healing Place

Set against the backdrop of the Salish Sea, our new amenities integrate the healing power of nature into every moment. The ocean invites you to connect with the rhythms of the tide, feel the salt air on your skin, and soak in the natural ions that enhance mood and energy levels. While, towering conifers and meandering paths around the property encourage the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, allowing you to reconnect with the grounding presence of the surrounding trees.

The expanded relaxation zone goes beyond physical rejuvenation to offer a full spectrum of wellness experiences. Imagine starting your day with a grounding barefoot walk through dew-kissed grass, followed by a restorative massage or spa treatment in the teahouse studio. The Pointhouse’s team of wellness partners will offer curated treatments that incorporate local botanicals and nature-inspired therapies, ensuring each session is deeply personalized and aligned with your needs.

Cultivating Mind, Body, and Spirit

Our vision for this expanded wellness space is rooted in the belief that true relaxation comes from nurturing all aspects of the self. Whether you’re soaking in the serenity of the zen gardens, experiencing the invigorating contrast of hot and cold therapies, relaxing in the hot tub, or gathering by the fire pit under the stars, every element is designed to promote harmony and renewal.
