Set within the contours of the Mornington Peninsula, Alba Thermal Springs is an immersive landscape setting for bathing, inspired by the tensions between the ocean and bay.

Alba Thermal Springs features 16 hectares of curated, endemic gardens and 32 naturally heated pools. The project’s meandering path network builds from the wind-inscribed patterns of the tertiary dune landscape, creating an unfolding experience. Mala developed water features inspired by the peninsula’s tidal movements—subtle, almost unnoticeable shifts, like those experienced during a visit to the beach.
