Our Award Winning Rotorua Spa
The Rotorua Spa facilities at the Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort are recognized as some of the best in New Zealand, if not the world. Our international awards include: Best NZ Relaxation and Resort Spa Hotel as well as an award from the World Luxury Spa Awards
Our luxurious Rotorua Spa therapies use the famous, mineral rich geothermal muds of Rotorua. Our highly regarded massage therapies are based on the historical Mirimiri healing practices of local Maori people. To complete your pampering package, you can also enjoy a manicure, luxury spa pedicure, or even a fragrant steaming, herbal sauna. Our Rotorua Spa incorporates nine therapy rooms including two couples’ rooms where you can enjoy private dining and private spa pools.
Wai Ora mean 'healing waters' and a popular treatment for visitors to our unique Rotorua spa complex is the Wai Ora Water Experience. This experience involves a combination of hot spa pools and a hot mineral pool, all located beside a clear, spring fed, fast flowing trout stream. What better setting to enjoy a Rotorua geothermal experience than our beautiful landscaped grounds. We believe that our highly trained, friendly and experienced staff offer the best range of Spa services in Rotorua.
So, if sipping a delicious Manuka tea or Manuka honey drink accompanied by other unique Rotorua spa wellness foods, sounds like a great way to spend some time in Rotorua, we'd love to host you.
All guests, staying in our Rotorua hotel accommodation enjoy full access to the Wai Ora Spa Water Experience facilities as well as the cooler, refreshing swimming pool overlooking Lake Rotorua. Our Day Spa clients undertaking massage therapies, body spa therapies or manicures & pedicures are also welcome to enjoy the Wai Ora Spa Water Experience.
