Polynesian Spa is New Zealand’s original and iconic geothermal bathing experience, with multiple opportunities to indulge in both acidic and alkaline natural mineral springs, and unique day spa therapies for ultimate rejuvenation.
While it’s tempting to lose oneself in the warm embrace of our healing geothermal waters, Polynesian Spa offers a unique opportunity for social connection as well. For generations, our hot pools have been a gathering place for locals and visitors to Rotorua alike to come together in comforting warmth, fostering new friendships and shared experiences. We recognize the importance of these connections for our wellbeing. During your hot soak, you may find others engaging in conversation with fellow bathers. After your time in the pools, we are sure you will continue to enjoy the feeling of warmth and wellness with friends and loved ones.

Our Water
The therapeutic waters in the 28 hot pools at Polynesian Spa come from two different natural springs:
The Priest Spring is named after Father Mahoney, a Catholic Priest who was ‘cured’ of his crippling arthritis from bathing in the waters in 1878. The slightly acidic water from the Priest Spring relieves tired muscles, aches and pains.
The Rachel Spring is a source of alkaline water, which features the antiseptic action of sodium silicate nourishing the skin. It was historically said that those who bathe in the waters of the Rachel Spring are blessed with ageless beauty
The combination of these two types of mineral waters is only found at Polynesian Spa.
