Bathhouse and sauna girls trips, swim, soak, steam, repeat

Some weekends ask a lot of you. This one asks you to lie back. Robes on, a heated pool, a bubbling spa and a sauna to research thoroughly, then bubbles with the girls, and somewhere to stay for all of you.

Why the girls keep picking a bathhouse

A demanding schedule of soaking and sipping.

Pool, spa or sauna first? Fortunately, you’ve got time to conduct thorough research. Swim. Soak. Steam. Repeat if necessary. Actually, very necessary.

Conversation drops to a murmur. Nobody feels any need to fill the quiet, which is its own kind of catching up.

An entire weekend dedicated to taking things easy with your favourite people? Sounds like a responsibility the girls can handle.

It’s a demanding schedule, but we have every confidence you’ll rise to the occasion.

What happens on a bathhouse girls weekend

Robes first, then the whole night.

A bathhouse girls trip with My Ultimate is time in a heated pool, spa, sauna or steam room, built into a whole girls weekend with somewhere to stay, pampering and bubbles.

  1. Pampering, before or after.

    A deluxe manicure or a tailored skin session at a beauty bar in Melbourne, bubbly in hand. On the Gold Coast the pool, sauna and steam come first, then an hour of treatment each.

  2. Friends sharing snacks and bubbly around the coffee table in their apartment

    Robes on, grazing open.

    In Beauty, Bathhouse & Bubbles your grazing box is waiting at the hotel, sweet and savoury, for the girls in robes.

  3. Three friends in spa robes pulling faces for a selfie with bubbly

    Swim, soak, steam.

    An indoor heated pool, a bubbling spa and a sauna in Melbourne; a rooftop pool, sauna and steam room on the Gold Coast.

  4. Friends laughing and raising cocktails together at a candlelit bar

    Eventually the robes come off.

    Rooftop bubbles and share plates overlooking Melbourne, dinner by the river, or a rooftop beach club on the Gold Coast.

Three ways to do a bathhouse girls trip

Pick your city, pick your soak.

Each one is a whole girls weekend with the pool, spa and sauna time built in: somewhere to stay, the food, the drinks and where to next, already in an order that works. Each city’s page has it alongside every other girls weekend there.

Prices are from, per person, for a minimum of six. Accommodation can cost more on busy dates such as school holidays, so we confirm the price for your exact dates.

What kind of girls group a bathhouse suits

Everyone who could do with a long soak.

It works for the friend who’s been running on flat whites, and for the one who books a sauna every time she sees one.

Three friends in robes and sunglasses laughing on the bed at the apartment

The ones who need a weekend off.

Robes, warm water and nowhere to be.

The quiet catch up crowd.

Nobody needs to fill the silence in the sauna.

The pamper people.

A manicure, a skin session or a treatment is in every one.

Every age at the table.

From the twenty somethings to the friends who’ve been to every birthday since school.

A milestone birthday.

A long soak, then bubbles above the city.

The night out people.

The robes come off eventually. Rooftop next.

Real girls trip reviews

In their own words, exactly as written.

Two women in robes and face masks with champagne by a pool

we FINALLY went.

That is basically my review haha. 4 years of "we really need a girls weekend" and then we actually bloody did it.

Jessica Tran, 31

I actually love organising trips and was a little hesitant about using a company because I didn't want to lose control over the weekend.

That wasn't what happened at all.

I still made the decisions. I still chose what felt right for my friends. I just had better information and didn't need to personally manage every moving part once we got there.

Would definitely use them again.

Booking a bathhouse, or a whole girls weekend

Same steam, a very different weekend.

Plenty of groups book a bathhouse session and come out floating. Then everyone has to dry their hair, sit upright in a car and decide whether dinner is still happening.

A bathhouse girls weekend with My Ultimate has the stay, the pampering and the bubbles already lined up around the soak, so nobody has to get back in a car while still glowing.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.One living room for the getting ready, the debrief and the morning coffee.
One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place, very relaxed.
