Helping Out at Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa

The Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa is a luxury spa and wellness centre set on Rotorua’s lakefront, and is currently under construction.

Situated on the shores of Lake Rotorua, Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa will deliver health and wellness experiences infused with authentic Te Arawa and Māori culture, to create a rejuvenating experience to remember and share.

With Māori culture at its heart, the development draws on the 650 year legacy of the local Maori tribe, Ngāti Whakaue’s and Rotorua’s famed spa heritage.

Its name, Wai Ariki or “chiefly waters”, is a reminder of the origin of Rotorua’s healing thermal waters, which have drawn visitors to the city for more than 130 years.

Wai Ariki’s unique features combine with therapeutic mineral waters to deliver a world class bathing, spa and wellness facility that provides a place to relax, sustain and heal

Developed by Pukeroa Oruawhata, with design advice from acclaimed spa and wellness provider Belgravia Leisure, Wai Ariki will be necessary to visit, and leave a desire to return.
