Luxury Wellness Retreat
( the feeling of it )
Three suites above Abel Tasman, and an infinity pool that gives you 180 degrees of Tasman Bay to think about.
( the story )
A three-suite retreat above Abel Tasman National Park with a saltwater infinity pool over Tasman Bay, an onsen hot tub and two saunas.
( field notes, dawn to night )
A day here
morning
Yoga in the rose garden pavilion with the national park laid out below.
midday
Out into Abel Tasman — golden sand, clear water, and almost nobody on the track.
afternoon
Infra-red sauna, then the infinity pool, then the onsen, in that order, repeatedly.
evening
Brain-entrainment meditation in the screening room, then the bay going dark.
( worth underlining )
What sets it apart
What you can do
On the property
( plan your stay )
Three suites means the place is effectively yours, and the nervous system notices.
There are only three rooms.
best time to visit — December to March is the South Island summer — long days for Abel Tasman's beaches and coastal track.
( keep wandering )
