No visit to Rotorua’s geothermal area is complete without soaking in some hot pools, and Polynesian Spa is the perfect place to do it. Known for its relaxing atmosphere, the spa offers a variety of geothermal pools, each filled with either acidic or alkaline mineral waters that are super soothing for your muscles and skin. Whether you’re after a simple soak or a full-on wellness experience with day spa therapies and wellness classes, this spot has you covered. 

Entry to the pools starts at around $45, but I’d recommend checking BOOKME for discounted tickets, they often offer deals that make it even more affordable. 

Oh, and if you’re camping in the area, there’s a free freedom campsite in the car park, but it fills up quickly, so if you're lucky, you can snag a spot!
