More than a day spa, café, or health hub, Davaar House is the ultimate bespoke wellness centre dedicated entirely to the restoration of ‘the self’

In recent years, we’ve witnessed a perceptible shift in attitudes toward health and wellbeing. What was once a fundamentally reactive response to illness, and ailments, utilising a predominantly bio-medical approach has since changed in the mainstream to become inherently proactive. We’re no longer waiting for the other shoe to drop; we’re catching it before it looks like it might even fall. With an increased focus on preventative care and holistic health measures, not only are attitudes drastically changing, but wellbeing institutions are changing with them. Introducing Davaar House: Adelaide’s ultimate wellness centre combining relaxation, healing, and holistic wellbeing to create a balance of the body, mind, and soul.

Founded by Fiona Fiorinotto alongside her husband Oscar, Davaar House was birthed from a place of healing, insight, and a life-long passion for the wellness and healthcare industry. With an extensive background in remedial massage therapy and a devotion to assorted tailored therapies, Fiona has dedicated her career to holistic wellness, imbuing a wealth of knowledge into the very foundation of their business.

A haven for “advanced skincare, traditional therapies, and holistic practices all under one roof,” says Fiona, the day spa operates “with the purpose of promoting lasting wellness”. Giving individuals a unique freedom to tailor therapies and activities to their desired goals, experiences, and circumstances, Fiona believes in “prevention over cure”. From salt, oxygen, and red-light therapy to Pilates, meditation, and naturopathy, the team behind this sanctuary understands that “true wellness means giving your body and mind the tools to thrive, so you don’t just recover from stress or illness, you build resilience for the future,” says Fiona. With a ‘self-focused’ perspective for their clients, every detail from smaller-sized classes to their in-house café with grab-and-go treats has been considered.

Winner of the ‘2024 Best New Spa’ award by The Spa and Wellness Awards, Davaar House supports their clients to “feel whole and supported on their journey,” Fiona tells us. In actively shifting the discourse of wellness and what has previously been associated with it, the team is championing a new era of proactive and practical attitudes toward both mental and physical health to create “harmony between body, mind, and spirit”.
