Cultural Celebrations | Mornington Peninsula Hot Springs

at Peninsula Hot Springs, we draw inspiration from the rich diversity of global traditions to create experiences that connect, uplift, and celebrate humanity

We honour culturally significant festivals annually, inviting guests to engage with customs that unite communities and illuminate shared values.

 

 

Two of the most vibrant and widely observed festivals we celebrate are Diwali and the Lunar New Year. Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and Lunar New Year showcase how light, renewal, family, and community are central to cultural celebrations. Across these festivals, homes and public spaces are transformed with colour, illumination, rituals, and feasting, marking moments that remind us of the joy in gathering and the human desire to celebrate new beginnings.

At Peninsula Hot Springs, we transform these inspirations into experiences for our guests. Our annual Diwali program has previously included globally inspired wellness activations, Sound Healing sessions, and Gala performances, while Lunar New Year festivities feature Qigong, Lion dancing, and other culturally rich events. These, combined with visiting creators, artists and musicians from around the world, demonstrate how we weave traditions into thoughtfully curated experiences, complementing our globally inspired bathing rituals, and honouring our roots from where our story began.

 

 

Celebrating cultural festivals allows us to share stories, observe heritage, and create meaningful connections. Whether through music, movement, ceremony, cinema, or art, each event reflects our commitment to celebrating diversity and offering guests a chance to experience the warmth, colour, and joy of cultures worldwide.

By celebrating global traditions year-round, we invite you to connect with global customs and with each other in inspiring ways that celebrate and remain with you long after your visit has come to an end.
