THE SANCTUARY ĀHURU MŌWAI
THE SANCTUARY
Choose from three luxurious treatments: a body treatment, massage, or a facial, all designed to restore balance and wellbeing in the heart of Rotorua.
At the heart of each spa treatment are natural actives, essential oils, botanical extracts, and herbal preparations grounded in te ao Māori and the centuries-old practices of the Ngāti Whakaue people.
Before your treatment, we invite you to indulge in geothermal mineral bathing in our Sanctuary (Āhuru Mōwai), a truly unique and restorative thermal experience, where you can rest and find stillness in our mineral-rich therapeutic waters, drawn directly from the source.
