Nestled in the lush Whakarewarewa Forest of Rotorua, Secret Spot Hot Tubs offers a one-of-a-kind Rotorua forest spa experience that has earned us the title of the World’s Best Forest Bathing Spa in the World Luxury Spa Awards for three years running. Set in the heart of New Zealand’s mountain biking mecca, our forest spa is the ideal place to relax, unwind, and rejuvenate. Whether you’re looking to soak in cedar hot tubs, experience hot/cold hydrotherapy, or savour some delicious street food and craft drinks, Secret Spot Hot Tubs Rotorua has something for everyone.
Cedar Hot Tubs Beside the Forest
Our unique forest spa experience begins with our cedar hot tubs, hidden right beside the forest. Each tub is crafted from red cedar wood, and is filled with fresh forest spring water heated to a toasty 39.9 degrees Celsius. Our Rotorua forest spa provides drinks delivered directly to your tub at the push of a button. Picture yourself soaking beneath the trees with a refreshing drink in hand, surrounded by the sounds of birdsong and the nearby stream — it’s an experience that soothes both body and mind.
Cold Plunge Pools: A Refreshing Hydrotherapy Experience
At Secret Spot’s Rotorua forest spa, we take relaxation and wellness to the next level with our cold plunge pools. After a relaxing soak in the hot tub, a dip in the cold plunge pool helps boost blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and invigorate your senses. This hot/cold hydrotherapy experience not only aids in muscle recovery but also promotes overall wellness, making it ideal for athletes or anyone looking to soothe their body. By combining hot and cold immersions, our Rotorua forest spa offers a refreshing take on traditional spa therapies that brings you closer to nature.
Shinny Dip Foot Hot Tubs
Perfect for giving your feet and shins a break after a day of exploring the forest trails, our famous ‘Shinny Dip’ foot hot tubs are free with any purchase. This relaxing dip allows you to soak up the benefits of our forest spring water without needing to hop into a full hot tub. It’s an ideal option for those who want a taste of the Rotorua forest spa experience while enjoying the scenery and having a bite to eat.
BaseCamp: Street Food Kitchen & Craft Bar
To complete the experience, BaseCamp at Secret Spot offers delicious street food and craft drinks in a relaxed outdoor setting. Whether you’re craving a juicy smash burger, chicken satay roti, or other tasty bites, our kitchen serves up comfort food with a local twist. And with our craft bar, you can enjoy Secret Spot’s signature sangria in summer or sip on warm mulled wine beside the campfire in winter. BaseCamp’s inviting atmosphere also features a luxe glamping tent with tables, couches, and giant lawn games.
