Whether you seek relaxation, rejuvenation, or a meaningful connection to Maori culture, this transformative experience is the perfect blend of luxury, tradition, and wellness.
Depart Tauranga for Rotorua to indulge in the Restorative Journey — a two-hour experience designed to harmonize and elevate your wellbeing.
Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa is a premier cultural wellness sanctuary owned by the Ngati Whakaue iwi (tribe). Set on the picturesque shores of Lake Rotorua, Wai Ariki is more than just a spa; it's a celebration of the healing traditions of its Maori guardians. Your own multisensory adventure combines the ancient wisdom of cultural practices with the therapeutic benefits of geothermal heat, pristine waters, mineral-rich mud, and soothing steam. You'll be guided through a series of restorative rituals, each designed to relax and revitalize your mind, body, and soul.
With cultural commentary woven throughout, you'll gain a deeper appreciation of the manaakitanga (warm hospitality) and traditional healing practices that define Wai Ariki.
