Pool Area Options

We have multiple pools to choose from when building your ideal Group visit to Polynesian Spa.

Waters from two natural springs are fed into 28 mineral pools. Our Priest Spring Water is slightly acidic and great for relaxing muscles, bones and joints. Our Rachel Spring water features the antiseptic action of sodium silicate which nourishes the skin. It is said that those who bathe in the waters of the Rachel Spring are blessed with ageless beauty. Our pools range in temperature from 36 to 41 degrees.

There is a sumptuous selection of treatments available on our spa menu, all provided by highly trained therapists in either lakeside, garden or AIX therapy rooms. Our multi-award winning Spa Retreat has been recognised as one of the Top10 Spa’s in the World, so you know you’ll be in very good hands.

Our spa therapies are normally booked for 60 minutes. Some therapies can be booked for 30 minutes or 45 minutes, providing options for combining with other treatments or allowing for shorter therapy durations. There are also two dual therapy rooms available for booking.

*Please note, that in order to accommodate large groups, there will be staggered therapy scheduling times throughout the day. This is due to constraints on therapist & room availability.

Add a Mindfulness and Meditation Session with our wellness expert

Our Spa Retreat Manager, Helena Keenan, is our resident wellbeing expert and co-leads regular Mindful Moments Weekend Retreats with Rachel Grunwell, our wellness ambassador.

Helena’s personal experience with meditation began in 1992, sparking a deep interest in its wellbeing benefits. She is a qualified Mindfulness Meditation teacher and has completed further studies in the practices of guided imagery and contemplation.

What is mindful meditation?

The Practice of Meditation allows you to train your mind to be present with a relaxed but alert awareness. With practice, you can improve your focus, memory, sleep habits, the ability to relax and overall mood.

In this session, Helena will take the group through practical breathing exercises which help trigger a relaxation response in the body and mind. She will also guide you through a series of mindfulness exercises that you can practice at home or at work to further your wellness journey.
