Coastal glamour
Southern Ocean Lodge aims to provide an iconic accommodation experience on Kangaroo Island and is designed to be a sanctuary of comfort, style and personal intimacy.

Nestled amongst native bushland alongside Southern Ocean Lodge, the Southern Spa offers a menu of rejuvenating treatments featuring the Australian alkeme spa care range.
A tranquil
oasis
A physical and spiritual retreat, the Southern Spa indulges body and soul under the gaze of the wondrous osprey soaring in the blue expanse above. Emerge to breathe the pure air delivered straight from the Southern skies.
Island
inspired
A signature menu of spa treatments embraces the island’s bounty of natural beauty products: lavender, eucalyptus and Ligurian honey. Home to the world’s only pure strain of Ligurian bee, Kangaroo Island produces honey renowned for its outstanding healing, cleansing and nourishing qualities, whilst locally produced botanicals lavender and eucalyptus oil bestow relaxing and rejuvenating properties.
Indigenous
wisdom
The Southern Spa exclusively features alkeme spa care products and massage techniques, created by Aphra Skye Heron in small batch methodologies. Inspired by her upbringing in wellness, the range embraces age-old practises of alchemy, ‘making magic from nature’ using a blend of local botanicals and sustainable ingredients and is guided by ancient lore gifted from Australia’s First Nations people and global healing remedies.
