Manuhiri (visitors) are now able to take their first virtual look inside Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa and it’s unique healing and relaxation journey with the Spa & Hot Springs’ new website now live.
Manuhiri can also be among the first to secure bookings for its wellness and spa experiences, with gift certificates available to purchase through the website and online bookings available from August 1, 2023.
Six years in the making, Wai Ariki is finally set to open in the coming months on the newly transformed lakefront in Rotorua.
The spa’s authentic wellness and spa experience combines the region’s healing geothermal waters with the centuries-old legacy of Ngāti Whakaue culture, healing practices and manaakitanga (caring hospitality).
Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa general manager Rania Sears says there are many experiences to choose from, all of which are “devoted to replenishing the body and mind to achieve health and wellbeing in a truly unique cultural experience”.
“Whether you are looking for a shared experience with friends or loved ones, or just want to take some much-needed time out for yourself, all of our exclusive experiences are set to delight, restore and revive like nothing else you have experienced.”
Rania says Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa builds upon Rotorua’s centuries-old thermal holistic healing and rejuvenation legacy.
“Since the 1800s, people have visited Rotorua to experience the region’s healing geothermal waters. Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa will continue that legacy and maintain Rotorua’s position as an international spa and wellness destination.”
Wai Ariki has two exclusive spa areas: Te Āhuru Mōwai (Sanctuary), a premium space for bathing and spa treatments, and Wai Whakaora (Restorative Journey) a cultural thermal wellness experience.
