Polynesian Spa, New Zealand’s original geothermal bathing experience, offers therapeutic hot springs, wellness activities, and unique spa therapy treatments. For over 52 years, it has been a sanctuary for visitors, consistently ranked among the world’s top spas and a must-do attraction in the region.
Located on the shores of Lake Rotorua, and conveniently situated downtown close to nearby hotels, the site’s healing waters have enticed visitors from around the world to “come take the waters” in a succession of historic bathing houses since the late 1800s.
Water from two natural surface springs feeds into 28 mineral pools in four different areas. The sulphate-rich Priest Spring alleviates muscle aches, while the sodium-rich Rachel Spring rejuvenates the skin. Guests can choose from the Deluxe Lake Spa, Pavilion adult pool areas, or private pools, with stunning views of Sulphur Bay Wildlife Reserve.
Private wellness activities include yoga, meditation, art, and sound healing, herbalist walks and talks in the surrounding geothermal landscape or nearby Redwood’s forest. All activities can be tailored for small or large groups. The onsite café, 88RA, has a commercial kitchen and offers delicious meal options, and the Spa Essentials shop is stocked with premium spa products and gifts.
Weekly wellness activity classes are available and include yoga, meditation, and sound healing sessions, allowing guests to incorporate relaxation and mindfulness into their spa experience.
