In the heart of New Zealand’s geothermal region lies Polynesian Spa, a world-renowned, natural mineral bathing and wellness spa retreat, on the tranquil shores of Lake Rotorua. Polynesian Spa has repeatedly been nominated as a World Top10 spa and has been welcoming guests from New Zealand and around the world for over 50 years. The site itself dates back to the 1800s when the first bathing houses were established for patrons to “come take the waters” in Rotorua. Many of these historic elements can be seen on site.
Channeling the geothermal marvels in its backyard, waters from two natural springs are fed into the 28 mineral pools. The sulphate rich acidic Priest Spring relieves tired muscles, aches and pains while the sodium rich alkaline waters of the Rachel Spring nourish and heal skin.
There is a decadent spa therapy menu with signature geothermal treatments on offer. From Aix spa therapies to body wraps and polishes, mud massages, aromatherapy treatments, and facials, Polynesian Spa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature’s gift.
Many of the pools are absolute lakeside with geothermal steam softly unfurling across the natural reserve of Sulphur Bay. A mesmerising and relaxing spectacle.
A range of private and public bathing areas are available combined with wellness activities such as yoga, meditation and sound healing all easily tailored to suit both the individual and group markets.
Our on-site cafe caters beautifully prepared breakfasts, lunches and platters and serves freshly made juices and smoothies, and arguably the best gelato in the country. Cabinet food and an a-la-carte menu are also available.
No visit to Polynesian Spa is complete without a bit of retail therapy. There is a wide array of high quality gifts and products used in our therapy treatments to choose from with a full range of bathing suits, towels and other giftware on offer.
