I went here with a friend for their women-only 1-hour circuit and it was absolutely amazing. The entire space was clean and inviting, and the staff were incredibly kind. It is a smaller space than I expected, but I liked that it was small so there weren't that many people and it felt quite private. The sauna and steam room were lovely to sit in and I loved the salt rock room as well. The cold plunge pool is insanely cold and we both couldn't stay in for very long, but it helped our muscles out so much. I will definitely come back again!

Fantastic sauna experience! The cleanliness was impeccable – everything felt spotless and well-maintained. The wood was in excellent condition, and there were plenty of clean towels available. The temperature was just right, and the ventilation was good. A really pleasant and hygienic experience overall. Exacty what I needed. I'll definitely be back!

I have never been this relaxed before.

Seriously, I am completely reconsidering my approach to self care and relaxation, thanks to the wonderful time I had at Ritual doing their Nordic Circuit.

Both the steam and sauna rooms were fantastic. I couldn't handle the cold pool, but the ice water bucket was plenty effective. And the salt room was so peaceful. I managed 3 full and 1 short circuit during my two hour stay, and the only thing I was left wanting for was more time!

The staff were so friendly and welcoming, especially for someone like me who had never been to a spa at all before this.

RITUAL Nordic Spa is great if you like small intimate spaces, there are few customers, and you have no desire to immerse yourself in warm water.

Options: Steam room (make sure they’ve replenished the eucalyptus…we had to ask), sauna, rest room (Himalayan salt room), patio (usually in shadow and with no view), frightfully frigid pool (excellent contrast to sauna/steam), or dump a bucket of cold water over your head.

Their price is as expensive as spas and hotels offering swimming pools, warm pools/hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, and often cold pools, and which include bath robes. Their bath robes cost $12. Their cost on the weekend is $69 for two hours, not including robe.

If you go, ensure there are a limited number of customers, as the steam room and sauna are nicely designed, but tiny and intimate. Also, only two showers in the change room. On the upside, the place was very clean, well-maintained, rooms were set at appropriate temperatures, and it was quiet. The Himalayan salt room was particularly soothing.

Staff were pleasant but did not check on safety of customers, and even in a public pool there would be check-ins. The free flip flops were not offered. Price of robes was not mentioned, there was no check-out, eucalyptus would not have happened if we had not asked.

This was a gift for me, and the company is what made it special. There are so many other options in Victoria. I would not recommend RITUAL to a friend. Their price point should be half of what they charge given their limited offerings. I can see how people might drop in after work if it was conveniently located, and perhaps their private spaces which are offered are more inviting, but I would never go again.

I was not impressed with this place. Too expensive for what we got. No warm pool, very little room, plus one had to pay for a robe. Every Spa I’ve been to the robes were included. They didn’t offer us the free footwear either. We sat in the steam room for a bit but then I asked a staff member I thought there was a Eucalyptus steam room here? He said oh we do have one our bowl must be empty. It’s like the staff weren’t keeping on top of things or checking in on people. The good things were that my sister and I pretty much had the place to ourselves. We also enjoyed each others company but again, for what I got I was really disappointed, especially since this was a birthday present for my sister. Patio was not even relaxing and even the Himalayan salt room was lacking. 1 change room as well. So for the amount I was charged for a 2 hr ritual weekend without a massage for 2 people , I could have taken her to a spa for the same price with more options. We definitely won’t be coming back here again.
