Winter Treat - We All Need To Slow Down!

Our group of 5 out-of-town residents arrived 10.30 am on a Saturday in late May 2023. The reception guy was welcoming with fuss-free entry, showing our voucher email via phone. Communal changing space was clean, with a few private cubicles. There were about 4 communal showers plus a private one for disabled folk. Plentiful plastic containers for clothing were housed on open shelves near the main undercover pool & we used one locker between us for valuables. We spent 3 glorious hours moving through the series of outdoor pools which range by temperature and acidity/alkalinity. We loved soaking up their healing powers whilst having a great catchup, fabulous for the soul, especially lounging in the ones that face out across the lake. Dry weather was a bonus but there's always the indoor pool if it's wet or miserable. Our visit was mostly very quiet, getting busier towards lunchtime. We opted not to shower afterwards to maximise the minerals. On the way out/in, there's a gorgeous shopping space, café & yummy gelato counter. Overall, this was a fantastic experience which we hadn't had for many years. It's on the Do-It-Again list for the next Rotovegas visit. Tips: Parking - No time limit in the venue's dedicated section, but it fills up later in the day. Mostly 180-minute parking outside of that, which should be enough. Paid locker - One-time use so you'll need to pay again if you go back. Bring - Water bottle, refilling at the water fountains dotted around. Spare towel to take around with you. Jandals for a more pleasant experience when walking around (cold, wet matting doesn't work for me). Hair/face mask to pop on while you're soaking, being careful not to contaminate the waters. Cold shower - There's one tucked beside a pool. Spurts in odd directions so you'll get wet hair.

Relaxing hot pools

Great place. Specific areas for adults, family + kids etc. Provate rooms facing the lake. Many choices of pools in the adult area. Temperatures tend to be high but you can find something less hot. Beautiful views.

Nice and warm dip!

Nestled in the heart of Rotorua, the Polynesian Spa offers a rejuvenating experience with its eight geothermal pools. Each pool is filled with natural, therapeutic mineral waters, renowned for their healing properties, making it an ideal destination for anyone seeking relaxation or relief from aches and pains. The pools vary in temperature (very tiny differences 38'-41'C), allowing visitors to select the perfect level of warmth to unwind and enjoy the spectacular lakeside views. The combination of alkaline and acidic waters, sourced from two natural springs, provides a unique blend of therapeutic benefits, soothing both body and mind. Whether you’re looking to relieve muscle tension, improve skin health, or simply escape from daily stresses, these healing waters create a restorative environment. The serene ambiance, surrounded by natural beauty and enhanced by the steam rising from the pools, transports you to a place of ultimate relaxation. Whether you're visiting solo, with a partner, or with family, Polynesian Spa is a must-experience retreat for those in Rotorua, offering a perfect balance between luxury and natural wellness.
