Rotorua’s Polynesian Spa is a
World Top 10 Spa that overlooks
Lake Rotorua’s Sulphur Bay.
On a cool afternoon in June,
we decided to have a little bit of
luxury at the Deluxe Lake Spa.
We’ve bathed at the Adult Pools
(known now as the Pavilion Pools)
many times, mainly due to the fact
locals can get a monthly pass to
use those pools, but we were keen
to experience the fancier deluxe
side just to see what the main
differences are.
After getting our tickets we then
came into a rather plush lounge
area with comfortable arm chairs
overlooking the pools and lake.
You can use this lounge before
or after your swim if you so wish.
We then proceeded to the change
rooms, which unlike the standard
Pavilion Pools, had complimentary
lockers and towels.
The showers are communal style
with huge monsoon shower
roses as well as shampoo and
fancy body lotion dispensers.
When we walked though to the
pools the first thing we noticed
was it was a lot quieter with less
people than over at the Pavilion
Pools side. If you’re after a more
relaxing bathing experience
without the coach loads of people
it’s worth spending the extra just
for that reason alone.
The Deluxe Lake Spa has 2 covered
roof areas with rows of resort-like
recliner chairs you can lay to cool
down between dips.
Recliner loungers
Hot monsoon showers
with shampoo and body
lotion dispensers.
