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 is built on their legacy of cultural traditions, healing practices and manaakitanga.
The stunning, architecturally designed cultural building and carved ancestors set an impressive and inviting welcome upon arrival – further enhanced by the striking craftmanship and artistry experienced upon entry before being heartily greeted.
Wai Ariki Spa offers holistic wellness. A haven to escape the hustle and bustle and invest in quality me-time to unwind, to recharge, and to reconnect.
The two-hour Restorative Journey is unique and a must-do experience, created to relax and rejuvenate the 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 that provides facials, body wraps and massage treatments including traditional Māori techniques for spiritual and physical wellbeing. Additional experiences include 45minute private mineral pools and 1-hour restorative bathing.
