Maruia River Retreat

Deep within the native beech forests of **New Zealand's South Island**, Maruia River Retreat is designed for one thing: slowing down. Surrounded by mountains and the gentle rhythm of the Maruia River, this intimate retreat brings wellness into nature through **daily group yoga, forest bathing, guided nature walks, magnesium pool sessions, infrared chroma-therapy sauna, and outdoor hot tubs**. Each adult receives a private **60-minute forest hot tub experience**, while the package also includes a private 45-minute magnesium pool session. Between rituals, wander beneath the trees, settle beside the river, or simply enjoy the rare luxury of having nowhere else to be. Daily breakfast and a three-course dinner are included, allowing the restorative rhythm to continue from morning through evening. **The luxury here is quiet—yoga surrounded by forest, warm water beneath an open sky, magnesium pool time, walks among ancient trees, and the Maruia River providing the soundtrack to a few beautifully unhurried days.** **Best suited for:** Couples, wellness travelers, nature lovers, yoga enthusiasts, digital-detox escapes, and anyone craving deep rest in a secluded natural setting. **Wellness highlights:** Daily group yoga • private forest hot tub experience • private magnesium pool session • infrared chroma-therapy sauna • forest bathing • guided nature walks • river and forest immersion. **Included:** Daily continental breakfast • nightly three-course dinner • welcome drink • one 60-minute private outdoor forest hot tub experience per adult • one 45-minute private magnesium pool session per package • guided nature walk • daily group yoga. **Please note:** The magnesium pool session is **one per package**, while the forest hot tub experience is per adult.
