The Best Spas in New Zealand

New Zealand’s landscape is more than breathtakingly beautiful, it also contains many natural mineral hot springs with waters known for their soothing and healing qualities. The country's top spas take advantage of the geothermal environment and offer some equally enticing treatments destined to please. Lay on a bed of hot rocks while receiving an organic manuka honey-based facial, reveal soft and supple skin after indulging in a kiwifruit soufflé wrap, or feel reenergized after indulging in a jade and crystal essence massage to balance the body and reduce stress.
