Tides and Tranquility
Tell us you need a massage without telling us you need a massage... Don't worry, we heard you! It all starts at a five star day spa, robes on and bubbly in hand while the whole group drifts between the rooftop pool and the steam room, before everyone gets a treatment of their own. Then the tide comes back in with a bottle of bubbly on our rooftop and tapas by the water. Quiet first, then all the chatter!

Let the Tide Go Out, Then Roll Back In
There's a knot in every shoulder in this group, and each one has its own story. The laptop one, the toddler on one hip one, the one from that spin class and the one nobody can explain. About once a week someone rolls a shoulder and says it out loud: I'd love a massage right now. Everyone agrees with feeling, then goes straight back to carrying everything. Tides and Tranquility answers it properly: an afternoon at our five star day spa, your own chic Gold Coast apartment, a bottle of bubbly at our rooftop beach club and dinner by the water to finish. Being looked after beside the women who've seen you at your worst is nothing to feel sheepish about. Let everything else go out with the tide for a weekend.
You took the hint on everyone's behalf, and now the tide goes out. Our five star day spa is tucked into the heart of the Gold Coast, and the noise of the week stays firmly outside. There's a fluffy robe waiting for each of you and a round of bubbly as the robes go on. The first stretch belongs to all of you together, drifting between the rooftop pool with its round cabana and palms and the warmth of the sauna and steam room. Conversation drops to a murmur. Nobody feels any need to fill the quiet, which is its own kind of catching up.
Then the treatments begin, one by one. Each of you gets a full hour of your own from a range of indulgent treatment choices, a massage or a facial, and anyone who can't decide gets half of each. The rest of the group waits by the pool between turns, so the deck becomes a slow reunion as each of you drifts back looking gently rearranged. Shoulders sit lower and voices go softer. By the time the last robe comes back, every knot in the group has been dealt with, and so, somehow, have a couple of life decisions.
Then the tide starts coming back in. Your own chic Gold Coast apartment is home base, and the living room fills with all of you, still glowing and in no hurry, comparing notes on the magic hands of the afternoon. The playlist goes on at a sensible volume for once. Getting ready is slow and happy, fresh faces from the facials needing barely any makeup and every outfit judged kindly by a very relaxed jury. The chatter builds a little with every outfit change, like water creeping back up the sand.
By golden hour the tide's properly in, and it's up to our rooftop beach club. The Hamptons style deck sits above all the Gold Coast action, orange umbrellas catching the last of the sun and the wraparound bar starting to hum. Your rooftop space is reserved for the group, and a bottle of bubbly gets popped and poured round for a toast to the quiet afternoon behind you. From up there the views are something else, and the chatter that was switched off at the spa comes back on with interest.
Then it's down to the water for dinner. Our waterfront restaurant has floor to ceiling windows, the evening lights dancing on the water outside. With your table reserved and a round of bubbly landing for one more toast, the tapas style share plates start arriving and keep on arriving, passed across the table while the stories go from life updates to the ones you've been saving for months.
The debrief happens on the couch in pyjamas, obviously. The tide comes back in with the coffee at the kitchen bench, and everyone's skin still looks suspiciously good. Not a single shoulder is anywhere near an ear.
My Ultimate has been creating unforgettable girls weekends since 2011, so we know a thing or two about bringing the girls together. The first quiet float in the rooftop pool, the treatment that sent everyone's shoulders south, the slow and happy getting ready and the long table by the water where the chatter came flooding back. It's the kind of trip that starts with 'I'd love a massage right now' and ends with nobody needing to say it for a good long while.
The tide went out and came back in, and your girls were there for all of it. Call or chat with us on 1300 339 734, or send a message through Our Contact Form to check availability.
