Spa Lucca

Spa Lucca is a day spa at The Anchorage in Nelson Bay, Newcastle, offering a quiet treatment-focused escape for both hotel guests and locals. Its menu spans rituals, immersions, wraps, scrubs, facials and massages, with appointments required. The spa uses Dermaviduals, a corrective medical-grade skincare range made with bioidentical, skin-mimicking ingredients, for treatments centred on caring for and supporting the skin.

The setting is designed for switching off. Downstairs, guests can settle into a space framed by earthy sandstone, with two single treatment rooms, two double rooms, a steam room and a private relaxation lounge. That mix gives Spa Lucca a practical range of options: a solo appointment, a shared treatment for two, or a longer visit that includes time to unwind before or after a treatment. The spa is open daily from 9am at The Anchorage Port Stephens.

The Hydro Suite adds a separate wellness element to the experience. It brings together a sauna, steam room and spa, allowing guests to move between warmth, steam and water at an unhurried pace. Access can be added before or after a treatment, subject to availability, or booked as a standalone one-hour experience. The website lists Hydro Suite access at $29 with a treatment booking or $59 per hour on its own, making it an option for those who want relaxation time without selecting a treatment.

Spa Lucca suits visitors looking to round off a stay at The Anchorage, as well as Port Stephens, Maitland, Newcastle and Lake Macquarie locals seeking a day spa appointment. Its Local Love programme offers eligible residents access to special offers, treatments and packages, including last-minute availability. Gift vouchers and membership are also available for those wanting to give or schedule regular self-care. With double treatment rooms, a private lounge and the Hydro Suite, it is particularly well suited to couples or friends booking together, while the single rooms and individual skincare approach also make it a straightforward choice for solo visitors.
