Forget Winter Hibernation, Subiaco’s Wellness Edit Is Back With 30+ Reasons To Brave The Cold
For a city built around summer, Perth knows exactly what to do with a 35-degree day. An 18-degree one? Not so much. Fortunately, Subiaco is here to make you fall in love with the cooler weather.
Returning from 20 July to 16 August, The Wellness Edit: Subi is bringing together more than 30 exclusive offers that make it easy to indulge in self-care, without the price tag. Think hot stone massages, glow-boosting facials, reformer Pilates, mulled wine, bubbling baked camembert and flaky croinuts—all very compelling reasons to stop counting down to spring. Here's where we'd start.
Soak, Steam And Show Your Shoulders Some Love
Respectfully, hot showers in winter don’t count as recovery. To truly achieve the reset that’ll leave you lighter, looser and significantly less lethargic, you need more than standing under a scorching hot tap.
At Melt Subiaco, every Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage comes with a complimentary sauna and plunge experience, plus a wellness drink to stretch out that post-treatment glow. Think a slow-release Pistachio Matcha, Mango Creatine & Chilli Slushies to recharge tired muscles, or a maple and Himalayan pink salt-laced Hot Cacao that’ll warm you from the inside out.
The serotonin streak keeps rolling at Opulence Serenity, where you’ll save up to $40 across a curated collection of winter massage rituals, each bundled with extra treatment value and a signature takeaway tea. If you’re short of time, the Ember Glow Ritual packs hot stones, a face lymphatic release massage and scalp massage into 75 minutes of pure escapism. For anyone looking to dial up date night, the Serenity for Two Winter Hearth Ritual layers hot stones, foot massage, scalp massage and aromatherapy into one very convincing reason to skip dinner and a movie.
Get The Glow-Up You Deserve
Flaky skin? Frizzy hair? Heaters doing you dirty? Not on our watch.
Anthea James Hairdressing is kicking things off with a complimentary L'Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Molecular Deluxe Basin Treatment alongside every Colour & Cut. Your split ends have waited long enough.
Enhance your smile with 20% off Defined Beauty's 90-minute Signature Smile Teeth Whitening treatment. New clients can also enjoy $100 off their first Lip Blush or Brow Tattoo appointment.
Next, clear your afternoon for Lily Lane Creative, because the $135 winter hair and scalp session isn't the sort of appointment you squeeze into your lunch break. Scalp oiling, two nourishing cleanses, an extended scalp massage, scented hot towels, a heated eye mask and a professional blow dry ensure you leave looking every bit as refreshed as you feel.
Hair this good deserves equally smug skin, and with UV levels in hibernation, winter is prime time to tackle pigmentation, texture and fine lines. Erin Aesthetics is slashing up to $700 off selected microneedling, depigmentation and anti-ageing facials, while Skin Ave Co has a range of winter skin treatments from just $99, with every cosmetic nurse appointment unlocking a free Enzyme Facial to ramp up the results. Your spring skin starts right now.
Reform Your Routine
Perth has developed a very expensive relationship with reformer Pilates. Thankfully, trying it doesn't have to cost an arm and a very shaky leg during The Wellness Edit: Subi.
Getting started is simple at Ditto Club, with first-timers scoring 50% off the intro offer. That’s two weeks of all the Pilates your core and calves can handle for just $34.50.
Not ready to fully commit to a fortnight of feeling the burn? Try a casual class at Contour Pilates for $15 off using the code SEESUBIACO, with a free pair of grip socks thrown in, so you can have all the gear even if you have no idea.
Ready to go all in? Pilates 24/7 has dropped its unlimited weekly membership to $40, giving you unlimited access to reformer Pilates, mat, yoga, cardio and the always-steamy sauna when you mention The Wellness Edit: Subi. New personality pending.
Carbs Count As Self-Care
We're firm believers that wellness can involve molten cheese.
Mistelle Bistro is dishing up its crowd-favourite winter combo: two glasses of piping hot mulled wine, baked camembert and a fresh baguette for just $35 during Happy Hour, while a mug of mulled wine flies solo for just $10.
Over at MCQ Street Food Subiaco, comfort comes in the form of $12 noodle soup combos, $10 bánh mì deals, 10% off the new DIY Noodle Bar and complimentary fried dumplings for groups of three or more.
For a midweek mood boost, bring your favourite bottle to Intuition Wine & Kitchen on Tuesdays and Thursdays, where corkage is on the house.
Then finish on a sweet note with a fluffy, flaky croinut at Whisk Creamery, where they’re half price with any hot drink from Friday to Sunday. Balance restored.
Give Your Brain A Breather
Believe it or not, our brains aren’t designed to have 47 tabs open at once.
Temple Lane has plenty of ways to help you slow down your nervous system, whether that’s a 10-class yoga pass for $150 (usually $240), a 60-minute Reiki session for $100 (usually $130) or the beautifully named 90-minute Return To Self experience for $200 (usually $320). Leave reconnected with a sense of calm and clarity beneath the noise, stress, and expectations of daily life.
For a different kind of reset, NeuroWell Hub’s guided VR and neurofeedback session can help tackle stress, burnout and restless nights, going for just $79 instead of $150.
Or trade doomscrolling for something a little more colourful. Creative Pair Studio is taking 20% off weekday daytime painting and collage classes, while Infi Art has $15 Drop-In Art Sessions, complete with 50% off selected products and a hot drink to sip while you create.
One Last Little Treat
As if all that wasn't enough, The Wellness Edit: Subi is also giving away a prize package worth more than $2K, including a stay at Vibe Hotel Subiaco, Ditto Club classes for you and two friends, a beauty voucher from Defined Beauty, a Paint & Sip experience at Creative Pair Studio and a dining voucher for Mistelle Bistro.
The Wellness Edit: Subi runs from 20 July to 16 August. Check out the full program, browse all 30+ offers and throw your hat in the ring for the major prize draw while you're at it.
