Now more than ever, women are craving a space where they can truly exhale. At 1 Hotel Melbourne, the retreat is right here waiting – deeply luxurious, yet grounded in equal measure.
In partnership with leading wellness practitioner Tanya Alijani, The Exhale is a fully curated day and evening designed to nourish the soul and body, set within the serenity of the hotel’s Bamford Wellness Spa. From the moment guests step into the urban riverside sanctuary, they will feel held, cared for and embodied, moving through a thoughtfully designed experience of spa and restoration, breath and sound.
The relaxation begins with a holistic treatment at Bamford Wellness Spa, as guests select from a Destress Massage, Deep Tissue Massage or Bamford Signature Organic Facial. Tension is gently surrendered with every passing minute, backdropped by Bamford’s peaceful, nature-led surrounds.
In parallel groups, guests ease into the afternoon with free-flowing access to the hotel’s hydrothermal facilities, including the pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. Those who prefer to unwind with gentle movement are welcome to the Field House gym, set to sweeping riverside views.
Further relaxation rituals await at Bamford Wellness Lounge, offering tailored wellness treatments alongside nourishing bites and drinks— a chance to connect with like-minded souls, and settle into a truly relaxed mindset.
A deeply immersive sound and breath healing follows, attuned to Tanya’s frequency-based approach to nervous system regulation. Guests are invited to breathe deeply, bathe in healing energy, and find stillness in a quietened mind.
A mindfulness session, featuring guided mediation and journaling, punctuates the experience with an unhurried moment of reflection, opening a door to clarity, comfort and healing.
Finally, the evening brings an intimate dinner at From Here by Mike, 1 Hotel Melbourne’s signature hatted restaurant, complete with a special menu designed for nourishment and indulgence. The wholesome, produce-led dinner is elevated by a ritual of shared intention setting, affirmation and reflection, closing the experience with guided gratitude.
The relaxation doesn’t have to end here – the option to upgrade for an overnight stay extends the luxury, creating space for a thoroughly restorative weekend escape.
The ambition of the retreat is simple; helping women return to themselves, to their bodies, to a quieter and more nourished way of being. No need to jump on a plane, this is right here, perfectly located in the beauty of 1 Hotel Melbourne, surrounded by over 7,000 live plants, bringing peace, calm and restorative energy. The Exhale’s every detail has been curated with intention, with love and care, so each guest will leave feeling completely and genuinely renewed.
