Family Fun
Polynesian Spa is New Zealand’s premier geothermal spa. In 2024, the spa was honoured with multiple accolades, including the World Luxury Spa Awards, the LuxLife Magazine's Best Hot Springs & Pool Experience, and recognition as a finalist in the Spa & Wellness Awards. These awards reflect Polynesian Spa's commitment to providing exceptional and memorable wellness experiences for all guests.
Nestled on the shores of Lake Rotorua, Polynesian Spa is a place of relaxation, healing, and connection. For generations, visitors from around the world have come to experience the restorative power of its natural geothermal waters, drawn from two unique springs. The acidic Priest Spring known for easing muscle tension, while the Rachel Spring, rich in alkaline minerals, nourishes the skin.
The complex features 28 mineral pools across four areas, each offering a distinct experience. Guests can unwind in the Deluxe Lake Spa, a peaceful setting with stunning lake views – welcoming both adults and families. The historic adults-only Pavilion Pools offer serene soaking at varying temperatures, while the Family Pools include a freshwater swimming area and hydro slide while still providing two alkaline mineral hot pools for the parents to enjoy. Those seeking privacy can book a beautiful Lake View Private Pool overlooking Lake Rotorua or enjoy a Sky View Private Pool, designed with open ceilings for added privacy and a tranquil atmosphere.
Beyond bathing, wellness experiences enhance the journey. The Retreat Day Spa offers treatments such as Aix hydrotherapy, geothermal mud wraps, and rejuvenating body and facial therapies. Guests can also join yoga, meditation, and sound healing classes in the Wellness Room, a versatile space available for private bookings, including group retreats and special events.
After soaking, visitors can enjoy fresh, wholesome meals and delicious gelato at 88RA Café. The Spa Essentials Gift Shop offers a carefully curated selection of premium spa products, high-quality bathing suits, plush bathing towels, and wellness-focused items, allowing guests to extend their experience at home.
Conveniently located in the heart of Rotorua, Polynesian Spa offers ample free parking, including a campervan-friendly area just across the road.
