Nova comes from the Latin novus, meaning new. In astronomy, a nova is a star that suddenly brightens — releasing a powerful surge of light and energy before settling into renewed brilliance. It is a symbol of renewal, vitality and transformation — a radiant return to your most alive, luminous self.

​

At Nova Holistic Spa, this idea of renewal is at the heart of everything we do. We believe healing should feel natural, nurturing and deeply restorative — like coming home to yourself. Our space invites you to pause, exhale and replenish, guiding your nervous system into calm and your body back into balance. Each experience is designed to gently awaken your energy, restore clarity and help you re-emerge brighter.

​

Created by sisters Kylie and Nicole, Nova grew from a shared passion for holistic living and the art of slowing down. Together they transformed a heritage Hobart building into a sanctuary of warmth, light and quiet luxury — a grounding haven where time softens, shoulders drop and the outside world fades away.

​

Here, we honour the body’s innate intelligence to repair, rebalance and radiate health — mind, body and spirit. Within our boutique, outdoor, all-weather therapeutic contrast therapy haven, you’ll find Hobart’s only full spectrum infrared sauna, ice bath and magnesium spa, Tasmania’s only FDA-approved mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy AirPod, and a carefully curated collection of holistic treatments including counselling, naturopathy, tarot, bespoke naturally derived medical-grade facials, and therapeutic massage — all thoughtfully offered under one roof to meet you exactly where you are.

​

Whether you arrive seeking recovery, rejuvenation or a moment of stillness, Nova offers the space, the science and the soul to help you reset, reconnect and rise renewed.
