Luxury

If it's luxury you're after in a holiday, New Zealand has a natural asset in million-dollar scenery, featuring spectacular mountain peaks, crystal-clear lakes and rivers, and miles of sparkling blue sea.

Luxurious accommodation is plentiful from The Lodge at Paratiho Farms in Nelson, to Blanket Bay in Glenorchy to Huka Lodge in Taupo. Many luxury hotels are found in picturesque settings, some in remote areas accessible only by helicopter for the ultimate getaway. New Zealand's luxury hotels feature world-class cuisine and typically friendly and attentive Kiwi staff.

Other luxurious options including chartering a superyacht or arriving by cruise liner.

Fill the bath, lie back and soak up the view at the Azur luxury retreat in Queenstown.

It would be quite understandable if you decided to spend all day in the bath. At the Azur retreat in Queenstown, astounding views are part of the service. Each private villa at Azur provides 90 square metres of floor area for luxury living. A high quality sound system, fireplace and in-room aromatherapy will put the finishing touches on your relaxation.

After a long day spent driving, chipping and putting, a golfer deserves the luxury of The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, Matauri Bay. Each of the 16 guest suites has a private porch, a sitting area and an open fireplace. Huge views of the Pacific Ocean can be enjoyed while you await the call to dinner.

The Bay of Islands is New Zealand's premier cruising ground. You can explore a different island every day.

In the Bay of Islands you can sail to a new beach every day, with dolphins and sea birds for company. And when you’re not sailing, there are islands to hike over, pa sites to explore and fishing spots to discover. The ‘hole in the rock’ at the end of Cape Brett is memorable day trip.
