Guided Hiking

Set high in the spectacular Southern Alps overlooking the glacial waters of Lake Wakatipu, Aro Ha is a world-renowned, purpose-built wellness sanctuary. Located just a short drive from Queenstown near the frontier town of Glenorchy, this multi-award-winning retreat offers an immersive, structured reset for the mind and body. Uncompromising in its eco-luxury credentials and entirely plant-based, it represents the absolute pinnacle of conscious travel in New Zealand and is a prized feature in the Eat Plants & Travel collection.

The accommodation is deliberately restrained, minimalist, and strikingly beautiful. Constructed using advanced Passivhaus eco-architecture, the timber and stone eco-suites are designed to frame the staggering alpine views rather than compete with them. Every space prioritises natural light, thermal comfort, and restorative sleep, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint. Guests spend their downtime enjoying the spectacular contrast spa facilities—featuring hot pools and glacial cold plunges overlooking the mountains—or relaxing in infrared saunas after a long day of guided sub-alpine hiking.

The retreat operates on a deeply nourishing, entirely plant-based culinary philosophy. The vibrant, garden-to-table menus are gluten-free, nutrient-dense, and crafted specifically to support the physical demands of the daily itinerary. A stay here is fully all-inclusive, flawlessly blending daily sunrise yoga, breathwork, mindfulness training, and therapeutic massages with functional fitness. Aro Ha delivers a genuinely transformative, full-system reset surrounded by the raw, elemental beauty of New Zealand’s South Island.
