South Melbourne welcomes the largest SAINT Black Private Club ever built, and it’s unlike anything you’ve seen before.
The doors have officially opened to Melbourne’s newest and largest ever SAINT Black
Private Social Club in South Melbourne, with the tri-level venue promising to amplify the
group’s signature Private Club offering to prioritise social connection and luxe hotel-style
service.
Located in the luxury hospitality and entertainment heart of South Melbourne, SAINT Black
is designed for ambitious high-performers who demand more from their social connections
and wellness lifestyle: more edge, more atmosphere, and more outcomes. It’s a place to
recover harder, connect deeper, and feel alive again.
The experience starts as soon as guests step inside the sensory cube – a moment to
Breathe and completely switch off from the outside world.
Once inside, members are greeted by name at the door and welcomed into a double-height
Tea Bar, Reception and Concierge, where soft circadian lighting, vein-cut travertine, and
Calacutta marble creates a calming, healing aesthetic.
As members move deeper into the club, the design palette shifts into moodier, darker tones. The member’s bar, wholefoods bar, and floating DJ booth overlook a vibrant co-working lounge that has been imbued with a more indulgent energy, where entrepreneurs and young professionals can take meetings, collaborate and form new connections with members over a meal or a drink.
The centrepiece is the luminescent staircase framed by a striking sculptural light installation made from custom frosted glass spheres in various heights, sizes and tones, that dance throughout the double-height void and connect the lighter ground level to the darker, more focused, high-energy spaces above.
The mezzanine level 1 is home to SAINT’s largest gym floor, an elevated fitness experience
framed by the city skyline, accented by black textured walls and halo lights. A long, moody
and immersive Path of Life walks members through to a reflective Fountain of Youth – the
signature reverse osmosis water feature at each of the Private Clubs – leading to the studios and the Haven bio-hacking wing.
Featuring over 200 classes per week – the largest of any Saint Havens or Saints to date –
The class schedule is complemented by the HAVEN treatment facility, which offers
Hyperbaric Oxygen chambers, Cryotherapy, IV infusions and PEMF and Lymphatic
Drainage treatments and Red Light Therapy.
‘Black’ and ‘Ultimate’ members then have access to an exclusive rooftop wellness retreat
called SANA, where they can relax in the sun by a lap pool, enjoy a signature ‘fire & ice’ class in wood barrelled ice baths and a 40-person sauna, all overlooking the city skyline. The rooftop club invites members to drop into contrast therapy, connect socially, and soak up the skyline.
Inspired by the iconic rooftop wellness scenes of NYC, SAINT South Melbourne has
been designed to create an escape from the outside world where wellness meets
atmosphere. By day, it’s tranquil. By dusk, it transforms into a dynamic, social sanctuary.
Social connection sits at the core of SAINT Black. Members can expect to pair their selection from the nutritionally-balanced wholefoods menu with organic adaptogen and alcoholic beverages from Thursday to Sunday.
SAINT South Melbourne is the fifth operational location for GURNER™ Wellness Group’s
stable of sell-out private clubs, and the second high-octane SAINT club brand, after the first SAINT launched in St Kilda last year.
The inaugural SAINT Private Club in St Kilda proved a runaway success last year with the
likes of Darcy Moore, Josh and Nick Daicos, Annalise Dalins, Jackson Warne and Harry
Garside all signing up as founding members, combining a love of high-performance training, recovery, co-working and hospitality, with the ability to connect and recharge with likeminded individuals.
