Laurel Beauty and Spa (Yarra’s Edge Docklands)

Laurel Beauty and Spa sits on the River Esplanade at Yarra's Edge in Melbourne's Docklands, the modern waterfront precinct on the city's western edge. A well-regarded beauty and day spa, it offers a calm, polished escape by the water — the kind of trusted spot people return to for quality treatments and a proper unwind.

The appeal is that combination of professional beauty and spa treatments and a serene waterfront setting, conveniently located in the Docklands close to the city. For locals and visitors after some genuine self-care in a relaxed, contemporary environment, it's clearly hit the mark.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly delighting its clients. Treatment menus, durations, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular spa works on bookings with the best times filling up, so it's worth checking current details and reserving the treatment you want directly before you go — particularly if you're after a specific service or a weekend appointment.
