RELAX AND REJUVENATE AT POLYNESIAN SPA – 1972 – 2023 (celebrating 50 years)

In the heart of New Zealand’s geothermal region lies the historic Polynesian Spa, a world-leading, natural mineral bathing and luxury spa retreat, overlooking Sulphur Bay on the tranquil shores of Lake Rotorua.

For centuries these natural mineral hot springs, discovered by New Zealand's earliest inhabitants, have been the definitive bathing experience due to its amazing effects. They recognise the healing properties of the hot springs and used the black geothermal mud saturated with iron oxide to treat scalds, burns and war wounds.

Channeling these geothermal marvels in our backyard, waters from two natural springs are fed into the 28 mineral pools inside the complex. The slightly acidic Priest Spring water relieves tired muscles, joints, aches and pains, while the alkaline waters of the Rachel Spring nourish the skin.

Specialising in a range of health and wellness treatments, Polynesian Spa offers a decadent spa therapy menu. From Aix (water) spa therapies to signature geothermal mud treatments, body wraps, massages and facials, Polynesian Spa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature’s gift.

Reviving the body inside and out, the contemporary urban Café 88-Ra offers a wide range of healthy treats, epic hand-churned gelato and freshly squeezed juices or smoothies, beautifully prepared lunches and teas, as well as traditional café classics.

The Spa Essentials Shop has a range of high quality face and body treatment products, as used in the Retreat Day Spa Retreat therapies, as well as a range of luxurious home essentials, bathing suits, towels and wraps.
