Bay of Many Coves Resort
Leave the world behind and escape to Bay of Many Coves Resort, a luxury lodge tucked deep within Marlborough Sounds, where dolphins play in ancient fiords and native forest stretches towards the sky. Accessible only by boat or helicopter, this secluded hideaway pairs New Zealand’s rugged beauty with five-star comforts – think cedar-clad apartments, panoramic bay views and spa treatments inspired by native botanicals.
Wake to birdsong drifting through the trees as sunlight dances on the water. Adventure calls from every corner of this wilderness playground, whether you’re kayaking past secret coves or hiking the Queen Charlotte Track with nothing but the breeze for company. At Bay of Many Coves Resort, the pace is slower, the skies clearer and the serenity absolute.
The Marlborough Sounds stretch across 1,500 kilometres of breathtaking coastline, creating a network of hidden bays and emerald waterways perfect for exploration. Top adventures include conquering the legendary Queen Charlotte Track, swimming with wild dolphins in crystal-clear waters and scenic wine tours through nearby vineyards. The hotel is located approximately a 30-minute water taxi or a 20-minute helicopter ride from Picton. Picton is located approximately a 30-minute drive from Marlborough Airport (BHE). Boat transfers from Picton are included in select packages only, please contact the resort directly to arrange.
