Escape to the award-winning Maruia Hot Springs, a renowned natural hot springs, day spa, and wellness destination nestled among the snow-capped Southern Alps in the stunning Lewis Pass National Reserve. Begin the experience with a welcome drink before settling into a peaceful sanctuary where fresh mountain air, geothermal waters, and breathtaking alpine scenery create the perfect setting for unwinding and reconnecting with nature.

Spend the day enjoying full access to the natural mineral hot pools, saunas, and relaxation lounges, complete with a towel, robe, and locker for added comfort. The naturally heated artesian mineral water rises from deep beneath the earth at 56°C, then cools to a soothing 37–42°C for bathing. Rich in natural minerals and trace elements, the geothermal water continuously flows through the pools, with around 500,000 litres of fresh water replacing the pools each day, creating a truly authentic and rejuvenating bathing experience. Enjoy a delicious two-course gourmet lunch before being invigorated by the signature guided sauna infusion, where the resident sauna master leads an immersive hot and cold therapy ritual designed to refresh both body and mind.

Surrounded by spectacular alpine landscapes, this indulgent wellness retreat offers the perfect balance of relaxation, nature, and fine dining. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, restored, and deeply connected to New Zealand’s remarkable natural environment.
