First stop on our recent Blue Mountains wellness weekend itinerary was an indulgent spa experience at Spa Sublime, owned by local identity Lynda Davis.
The award-winning day spa housed in a heritage house in Katoomba specializes in bespoke rituals and advanced skin treatment as well as being home to Australian made ‘Akorah’ range of skin care products. Celebrating 17 years in business, this long time local knows a thing or two about the Blue Mountains.
