Nestled on the shores of Lake Rotorua, a world class luxury cultural wellness spa awaits.
Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa is owned by local tribe, Ngāti Whakaue, and built on their legacy of cultural traditions, healing practices and warm hospitality (manaakitanga).
The stunning cultural, architecturally-designed building and carvings of ancestors combine to deliver an impressive and inviting welcome. This is further enhanced by striking craftsmanship and artistry, witnessed on entry, before visitors receive a hearty greeting.
Wai Ariki Spa offers holistic wellness through a haven, in which to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, where visitors invest in quality ‘me-time,’ unwinding, recharging and reconnecting.
The spa’s two-hour Restorative Journey is a unique, ‘must-do’ experience, crafted to relax and rejuvenate mind, body and soul. This multisensory seven step process combines traditional Māori healing practices with the natural elements of geothermal heat, water, mud and steam. Your body, skin and spirit will thank you!
The Spa Sanctuary, Āhuri Mōwai, is an exclusive area of grandeur, peace and tranquillity. Facials, body wraps and massage treatments (including traditional Māori treatments for spiritual and physical wellbeing) are all on offer.
Newly introduced, the morning and evening one-hour Restorative Bathing experience features five healing waters – pure mineral alkaline, herbal, hydrotherapy and cold plunge.
Wai Ariki Spa is open daily, 8.45am until late. Enjoyable year round, its stunning high roof provides shelter from rain and sun.
