new zealand

An enthralling combination of snow-capped mountains, sublime lakes, forest drenched valleys and glorious beaches – New Zealand promises a perfect mix of heady adventure and laid-back bliss.

The North Island’s volcanic landscapes, scattered with geothermal pools and natural gorges, are the sacred home to New Zealand’s indigenous Maori communities. Here you could take an enchanting kayak trip through Waitomo’s magical glow-worm lit limestone caves and pause to experience the exhilarating roar of the Marokopa waterfall.

If thrill-seeking adventure is what you’re after look no further than the South Island, where World Heritage listed National Parks are home to bungee jumping, white water rafting, skydiving and canyon swings.

The artsy city of Wellington is a bubbling hotpot of boutique shops, craft breweries and stylish cafés - while Auckland oozes laid-back, surf-cool vibes. Succumbing to this relaxed way of living isn’t difficult, with the hypnotic black sands of Piha Beach, trendy beachside cafés of Mt. Maunganui and dazzling white sands of Maitai Bay providing just a few of New Zealand’s idyllic beach retreats.

Where luxury spas hideaway in woodside lodges, vineyards sprawl across the enchanting countryside and beach parties continue well into the early hours - New Zealand luxury holidays are truly unforgettable.
