Wai Ariki is owned by Ngāti Whakaue (an iwi or tribe) and is built on authentic Māori cultural traditions, healing practices and manaakitanga (warm hospitality).

We love that Wai Ariki:

  • is open daily from 9 am to 11 pm
  • is enjoyable whatever the weather (thanks to the high roof, offering protection from rain and sun)
  • is open to ages 16+, for maximum relaxation
  • uses natural geothermal heat, water, mud and steam – learn how it has been harnessed for therapeutic and well-being benefits
  • celebrates Māori traditions and healing practices, providing a unique cultural experience in Rotorua.

Did you know? Wai Ariki means ‘Chiefly Waters’ – and it has two culturally authentic, architecturally stunning areas for you to explore, unwind and rejuvenate.

Though there are a number of beautiful experiences and therapies on offer, the two-hour restorative journey, ‘Wai Whakaora’, is a great place to start.

This multi-sensory 7-step experience infuses cultural commentary with the healing powers of geothermal heat, water, mud and steam.

  • Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa water jets.
  • Wai Ariki Hot Springs & Spa sauna.

And if you’d like an extra treat, check out the exclusive sanctuary, ‘Āhuru Mōwai’ (area of grandeur, peace and tranquillity), which specialises in traditional Māori treatments offering spiritual, physical, and mental wellbeing, though massage, facials and more.

What a gorgeous way to relax and soak up Māori culture.
