Five ways to revitalise mind and body at Melbourne Airport’s Higher State.

The allure of air travel lies in its promise of adventure, the thrill of being swept up and carried to distant lands. But as we soar thousands of feet above the earth, we surrender ourselves to a host of inconveniences: the exhaustion that accompanies jetlag, the sluggishness from altered pressure, the parched skin and aching muscles from a cabin air devoid of moisture. For many, the joy of the journey is marred by these unavoidable side effects, leaving us drained, disoriented, and yearning for recovery.

Yet, for those fortunate enough to land at Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport, solace is only a short walk away from Terminal 4. Tucked within the newly minted, dual-branded Novotel and ibis Styles hotels, you’ll find Higher State—Melbourne Airport’s very first health club and wellness centre. Here, they’ve crafted a sanctuary designed to restore weary travellers, blending the physical, mental, and emotional facets of well-being into a holistic tapestry of rejuvenation.
