Admission included

Treat yourself to a relaxing spa experience at adults-only Lake Rotorua hot pools, where pre-booking admission gets you access to acidic and alkaline pools, a reflexology walk, and a hot pool with views across the lake. It’s a serene and soothing alternative to the all-ages Rotorua spas, and the included unlimited spa time (on the day) ensures you’ll never feel rushed. Lake Rotorua spa experience is perfect for tired muscles and soothing aches and pains. Choose between a range of soaking temperatures, Included changing room access features optional private cubicles. Enjoy Lake Rotorua views from naturally heated geothermal mineral pools.

The therapeutic waters at Polynesian Spa come from two different natural springs:

The Priest Spring is named after Father Mahoney, a Catholic Priest who was ‘cured’ of his crippling arthritis from bathing in the waters in 1878. The slightly acidic water from the Priest Spring relieves tired muscles, aches and pains.

The Rachel Spring is a source of alkaline water, which features the antiseptic action of sodium silicate nourishing the skin. It was historically said that those who bathe in the waters of the Rachel Spring are blessed with ageless beauty

The combination of these two types of mineral waters is only found at Polynesian Spa.

The Pavilion Pools Ticket provides access to 8 mineral pools at varying temperatures from both acidic and alkaline mineral springs.
