PAID CONTENT FOR RAINFOREST RETREAT
Rainforest Retreat WEST COAST, NEW ZEALAND
At the heart of New Zealand’s West Coast, a land where ancient forests whisper and glaciers carve the landscape, lies Rainforest Retreat in Franz Josef Glacier, where luxury is deeply entwined with the pristine wilderness that drapes the landscape. Here, the rainforest air carries the scent of earth
and the soundscape is a symphony of native bird calls. Its unique characteristics, from towering tree ferns to moss-draped Hapu’u pulu trees, create a backdrop that feels both ancient and vibrantly alive. It’s within this captivating setting that the Deluxe Retreat Spa Tree Houses offer guests an opportunity to immerse in luxury while being cradled by nature. Each tree house is suspended in the forest canopy,
harmonising with the environment, expansive decks stretch out like arms to the wilderness and floor-to- ceiling glass windows welcome the outside in. Inside, the accommodations are a testament to
comfort and luxury, with plush bedding, modern amenities and a private spa pool on the deck. This is where guests can soak under the stars enveloped by the sounds and sights of the rainforest. Beyond its accommodations, Rainforest Retreat
champions an ethos of experiential travel and environmental stewardship. The property features an onsite cocktail bar and restaurant, its own nature trail, outdoor rainforest shower and alpine barrel sauna that further enrich the guest experience. Curated with the discerning traveller in mind who
values culture, food, adventure and luxury travel, Rainforest Retreat has curated a new exclusive Lakes & Mountains package. This encompasses a three- night stay in the Deluxe Retreat Spa Tree House, coupled with adventures that delve into Glacier Country. Guests will partake in an enchanting kayak and walking tour on Lake Mapourika with Franz Josef Wilderness Tours, a Twin Glacier helicopter flight into the depths of the Southern Alps with HeliServices, a VIP behind-the-scenes look at kiwi and tuatara at the Franz Josef Wildlife Centre and a guided hike on Franz Josef Glacier.
