Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa
The Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa is the first major purpose-built spa/bathing facility since the original, now iconic, Rotorua bathhouse was built over 120 years ago. The therapeutic benefits of Rotorua’s thermal hot springs have been long recognised and Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa provides the opportunity for these to be introduced to a market that is actively seeking “authentic” experiences.
