7 Secret Zen Places to Recharge in Melbourne

Tucked away in a corner inside the Atrium at Federation Square is a new pop-up venue known as The Nook. In juxtaposition with Federation Square’s modernist architecture, the cozy Nook is styled as a mid-century sitting room complete with retro chairs, a couch and community bookcase. Recharge in the quiet abode or join in with the local groups that occasionally use the space for knitting, embroidery and crafts.

If you’re craving an afternoon siesta, then visit Virgin Active and drift away in one of their sleep pods. The zero gravity shells recline for optimum comfort, while stimulating blood flow and reducing lower back pressure. Soothing sounds will help you doze off and after 20 minutes, gentle vibrations will rouse you awake, feeling fully rested.
