Merse Wellness Spa opens in Osborne Park later this month, introducing a recovery-first approach to wellness. Founded by Julia Tilli and Bianca Marshall, the new address brings contrast therapy, saunas, and advanced recovery treatments together under one roof, promoting wellness as an everyday habit.
Following two sites in Brisbane, Osborne Park marks the next location in a national expansion. The aesthetic cues are inspired by the Mediterranean — light, textured, and quietly elegant — with a local feel that encourages you to unwind and recharge.
Merse is pitched as a sanctuary where daily recovery sits alongside style. “As women deeply committed to health and wellbeing, we recognised the importance of designing a space we ourselves would seek out — one that encourages our families, friends, and community to prioritise recovery as a daily practice,” say Tilli and Marshall. Their philosophy is clear: wellness isn’t a weekend splurge; it’s maintenance, like sleep or hydration.
At the centre of the bathhouse is a hot magnesium pool that the team describes as Perth’s largest — a mineral-rich soak designed for muscle relaxation and post-training recovery. The thermal circuit moves from traditional hot rock and infrared saunas to a steam room, with an ice fountain and monsoon showers delivering the necessary invigoration of cold. Cold plunge pools round out the contrast therapy, building that familiar rhythm of heat, cool, repeat.
Beyond the water therapies, Merse elevates the journey with spaces for deep restoration, including a salt room and a rejuvenate lounge. These areas integrate advanced therapies, such as compression treatments, multi-spectrum LED light therapy, sound healing, and more, ensuring every visit is immersive and transformative.
The founders talk about Merse as a community as much as a place. “Whether you arrive to reset after a demanding week, recover from training, or simply find stillness, Merse offers more than a wellness space — it is a community,” they say. The reception has been brisk: first and second release foundation memberships have already sold out, with a final release now in play.
Opening date: Friday, October 31
