Your Guide To The Top 50 Wellness Venues Across Australia And New Zealand
Mode
Forget everything you think you know about gym memberships because Mode is on another level. Not strictly a fitness studio, this gem is part group exercise centre, part wellness space.
Their bread and butter is a flat fee membership that treats you to unlimited group classes, and unlimited use of their infrared sauna and contrast therapy.
New Zealand
NZ QLD NSW VIC WA
Ponsonby, Auckland
Contemporary Yoga
Remuera, Auckland
No creature loves a daytime snooze more than seals, so it makes sense they're the inspo behind Remuera’s Contemporary Yoga Seal Sessions.
Centred around joy and rest, you'll find these in the schedule every month—alongside a pick and mix of yoga classes that all focus on restoration, breathing and foundations for the good life.
Sala
Ponsonby, Auckland
Reformer Pilates, barre, yoga of all kinds, and strength and conditioning are on the cards at Sala. Their stacked timetable and credit class-pass system make visiting easy, whatever your sleep schedule or office hours.
Each class starts with a whiff of incense (their own blend) and ends with a rested mind and spirit—plus maybe a few aching muscles.
Studio Box
Newmarket, Auckland
Studio Box’s high-energy boxing classes have a cult following and for good reason—with dim lighting, a pumping sound system and choreographed moves, you'll be kept on your toes for every 45-minute session.
There's also a huge emphasis on mind, body and community, with breathwork integrated into every warm-down, and Flow classes designed to condition and stretch the muscles you've been working.
Shut Up & Dance
Wellington and Greater Wellington Region
True to their name, the dance-cardio classes at Shut Up & Dance are about letting loose, breaking a sweat and doing it all in a judgement-free space.
There are dance routines inspired by a genre, movie or music video for each class—but going off-piste is welcome in the name of good ol’ boogying fun.
Rae Face
Hobsonville, Auckland
Here to save you from jaw tension, pinched shoulders, a tight scalp, and forehead tension is Rachel from Rae Face—a facial sculpting, lymph-draining, buccal massaging, tension-releasing extraordinaire.
Their holistic 'Face Sculpting' is the only treatment on the menu, and it’s a thoroughly mindfulness-led moment—slow breathwork and a scalp massage bookend the soothing face-sculpting experience.
Chill Wellness
Victoria Park, Auckland
True to its name, Chill Wellness is a mecca of sub-zero wellness experiences. Cryotherapy is their poster child—and our pick for a lunchtime pick-me-up. Serious healing happens in the 2-3 minute sessions in the cryo pod. In toastier news, Chill also has plenty of Red Light treatments for cellular-level healing: full-body pods, LED LightStim Lights facials and infrared saunas.
Sa-Ni Spa
Auckland CBD
Feeling overwhelmed? Tackle it with a massage at
Sa-Ni Spa. For a lingering pick-me-up, the 'Deep Sleep Therapy' massage should be on your self-care bingo card, while a 'Sports and Deep tissue' session will help you hit reset. A 'Traditional Thai massage' here will heal you mentally and physically, and their aromatherapy treatments trigger healing through all your senses.
SO/ Spa at Auckland
Auckland CBD
What could be more restorative than swanning about the heated lap pool, jacuzzi, sauna or gym room pre-and-post-treatment at SO Hotel Auckland?
With spa treatments designed to nourish the skin, body and soul, there’s a pure pink Himalayan salt scrub and stone-buffing treatment, shiraz-wine-powered facials, and a slew of massage options.
Kula Muriwai
Muriwai
If it’s not the lush surroundings that slow down your heart rate, it’ll be the handpicked wellness events and retreats that Kula Muriwai hosts in their purpose-built wellness retreat.
Step away from the big smoke—just a 45-minute drive away—and into a luxurious cliffside retreat. Here, lush community yoga classes, day retreats and bookable wellness facilities await.
