Discover your perfect holiday getaway: Maruia River Retreat

Hit pause on that busy life and treat yourself to a luxury wellness escape.

Nestled within a lush native New Zealand forest, Maruia River Retreat offers an exclusive sanctuary designed for those seeking a break from the hustle.

Picture waking up to the soothing sounds of the Maruia River, surrounded by vibrant blooms and thriving greenery. Find the balance of relaxation and rejuvenation, tailored to meet the needs of your active lifestyle.

Enjoy guided forest walks in the 500-acre nature estate, private forest bathing in a river hot tub and forest infrared sauna, soak in the hydrotherapy spa, or take a cold river swim in the beautiful clear waters of the river. Indulge in personalised spa treatments, yoga sessions, and meditation classes to restore your inner balance. “Our wellness programmes focus on helping you unwind, recharge, and return to your best self,” general manager and yoga teacher Cristina Holopainen says.

Elegantly designed riverfront villas feature panoramic mountains and forest views, allowing you a deep sleep and a connection to serene surroundings to relax in post-exploration. Add to that, delightfully feasting on the freshest omnivore meals, with produce from its own kitchen garden, and the best of local growers, and it sounds like a dream.

This summer, embrace the luxury of being cared for within a backdrop of breathtaking beauty. Meet like-minded people, share experiences or choose to spend your quality me-time in quiet solitude with everything thoughtfully organised for you. Look forward to leaving empowered, refreshed and inspired after your wellness holiday at Maruia River Retreat.
