Kimi Ora is the perfect base for exploring the world-famous Abel Tasman National Park. The resort is built into the hillside and has a long-standing commitment to sustainability and healthy living. The primary reason to book here is the stunning views and the vegetarian/vegan restaurant, which serves a massive range of plant-based options using organic produce. It is one of the few places in the region where you can enjoy a high-end vegan dinner while watching the sun set over the Tasman Bay.

The resort features an extensive range of facilities, including heated indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, and a full-service day spa. The rooms range from studios to multi-bedroom chalets, many with private kitchens and log fires. It’s an ideal choice for active travelers who want to spend their days kayaking or hiking in the national park and their evenings relaxing in an eco-friendly sanctuary that aligns with their dietary values.
