Established in 2002, Sol Spa is proud to have its roots on the Sunshine Coast.

Sol Spa has established its day spa studio in a classic oceanfront cottage conveniently located along the Sunshine Coast highway. Our beach cottage is elegant, private and a petite piece of paradise. We welcome you into our English garden, the stepping stones guide you to our seperate entranceway into our Sol Solarium. Retreat and soak in the sunshine and the soft sea breeze....
During the 1920's and into the 1940's Selma Park was known as a resort area. The steamship SS Selma brought large parties of tourists for day trips or to spend the summer months at the cottages. In its heyday Selma Park boasted a dance pavilion and a tea room. Sol Spa invites you to step back into a quieter time and enjoy a cup of tea while soaking your feet, lavish in a organic facial or receive a peaceful massage. Our professional studio and atmoshpere are for those who are seeking relaxed and personalized day spa services. We also offer sidebyside spa treatments, please book ahead for availability.
