Maruia River Retreat

Find serenity and awaken your senses at the boutique Maruia River Retreat, on New Zealand’s South Island. Set along the magnificent Maruia River and reachable via a scenic drive from Nelson or Christchurch – or by helicopter if you wish to take the luxury up a notch – this blissfully secluded retreat is an adults-only oasis set within a 500-acre estate. With a collection of luxurious villas and cabins set deep into the lush native forest, daily yoga and meditation classes, and a spectacular spa offering a wide range of relaxing and rejuvenating treatments, this is the perfect destination to unwind from daily stresses, reconnect with nature and restore mind and body.
