Description

Unwind in the historic Pavilion Pools at Polynesian Spa in Rotorua, an adults-only area designed for relaxation and rejuvenation. With a selection of eight hot pools, this unique experience offers a tranquil setting for those seeking the benefits of geothermal mineral waters.

The Pavilion Pools offer a connection to Rotorua’s rich history, featuring the iconic Priest Spring source and a 1.3 metre deep alkaline exercise pool, which originally served as a women’s-only bathing area dating back to the 1800s. Today, the Pavilion Pools are reserved for guests 12 years and older, providing a peaceful retreat with access to mineral-rich waters and a lakeside foot reflexology walk.

The Pavilion Pools feature both acidic and alkaline mineral waters, sourced from the Priest Spring and Rachel Spring. Seven pools are 0.7 metres deep, including three acidic mineral pools (39°C - 41°C) and four alkaline mineral pools (38°C - 40°C). An additional 1.3 metre deep stand-up alkaline pool allows for gentle movement, promoting relaxation and circulation. Acidic water is known for soothing tired muscles, while the alkaline water helps to nourish and soften the skin.

For an extra touch of wellness, take a stroll along the reflexology walk, designed to stimulate pressure points in your feet and encourage energy flow throughout your body. The Pavilion Pools also include a spacious changing area with private cubicles and secure storage options.

Located within Polynesian Spa, this premium Rotorua hot pools experience is ideal for those looking for a peaceful escape with views over Lake Rotorua. Recommended soaking time is up to two hours.
