Located in New Zealand’s ethereal Southern Alps, Aro Ha is designed for the rejuvenation of the human spirit. Adhering to a vision of zen inspired luxury, Aro Ha teams intelligent design with exceptional programming to create an unparalleled well being experience.
“Most who come to Aro Ha aren’t looking for just one aspect of health; they’re looking for an adventure that addresses the neglected parts. Maybe it’s physical, maybe it’s spiritual, maybe it’s just a nature deficit. It’s hard to know what we are missing until we’ve found it.” – Damian Chaparro, co-founder.
The accommodation features a range of single and shared eco suites boasting minimalist luxury design. You can retreat to your rooms for moments of solitude, however, each suite is home to a shared foyer with space to sit and share tea. Every space within Aro Ha embraces its majestic surroundings – from the contrast hydrotherapy spas set into the mountainous earth to the yoga studio with panoramic views of Lake Wakatipu.
The Philosophy
Designed to regenerate your body and mind, Aro Ha’s programs are based on research that suggests we can fundamentally transform our physical and emotional health through our daily habits.
Waking to the beautiful chimes of a tibetan bowl, you’ll begin your day watching the sun rise over the mountains from the yoga studio. After a perfectly balanced and nourishing breakfast, you’ll explore the subalpine trails, immersing yourself in the transformative power of nature.
Mindfulness practices will be interweaved throughout your day as you partake in carefully curated activities; from cooking classes to functional strength training. Take time to unwind in the infrared sauna before you are called into your daily massage.
From mindfulness to healing bodywork, Aro Ha encourages you to switch off from technology and renew your awareness. Navigating between group and solo activities, you’ll learn to balance solitude and community for wellbeing and clarity. In Te Reo, Aro Ha translates to “in the presence of divine breath.” Breath is a foundational practice of life and we use it as an entry point into the mysticism of the present.
The Retreats
The retreats are a refined retreat experience where all aspects of natural health are addressed. Expect your body to become lean, strong and flexible, as your mind becomes calm, clear and present. You are simply required to show up, be present, and allow the experience to unveil your inherent potential.
The entire experience is included in the stated prices, no extra “hidden” charges. You will be supported by a team of professional staff who assure safety and enjoyment. Pasts guests frequently report improved mood, sharper thinking, better sleep, lower blood pressure, improved direction in life, prolonged weight-loss, and even the lifting of depression.
