Pavilion Pools

Adults only (12+ years) Entry: $49.95
Multi Day Ticket (Only available on-site): $83.95

The Pavilion Pools sit within Polynesian Spa’s original bath house site, making them the most historic area of the complex. This space carries a timeless Rotorua charm, with geothermal pools fed by both Priest and Rachel Springs. While designed for relaxation and rejuvenation, it’s also a favourite spot for locals, where guests can enjoy the mineral waters in a friendly, social atmosphere. For a quieter soak, we recommend visiting early in the morning or later in the evening after 8pm.
