Top luxury attractions and activities in New Zealand

Auckland is New Zealand’s most populous city and a favoured stop for leisure and business jet charters. Luxury charter planes provide easy access to this vibrant metropolis and its surrounding natural wonders. When visiting Auckland, take time to tour the iconic Sky Tower, where you can experience panoramic views of the cityscape and beyond. Waiheke Island is a fantastic spot for wine enthusiasts and beach lovers, with boutique wineries and pristine shores, and is easily accessible by ferry or helicopter. For art and culture aficionados, the Auckland Art Gallery offers an incredible collection of contemporary and traditional works.

Rotorua is well-known as a geothermal wonderland, and is also home to local Māori cultural experiences. On a trip to this unique region, be sure to take in the wonders of the Pohutu Geyser, Champagne Pool, Artist’s Palette and other geothermal spectacles. If you want to get your blood flowing, gear up for river rafting, ziplining and mountain biking. When it’s time for a more relaxing pace, take a dip in hot pools or mud baths at one of the luxurious local spas or learn more about the local culture with an insightful Māori cultural tour.  

Queenstown is one of the best places for adrenaline-pumping activities, and travelling by charter aircraft makes reaching this destination both luxurious and convenient. For thrill-seekers, bungee jumping, skydiving and jet boating are just some of the high-octane experiences available. If you’re looking for something a little more serene, head down to Fiordland National Park, admire the quiet beauty of the fiords, and cruise Milford Sound. In winter, the Remarkables Ski Area becomes a haven for snow sports enthusiasts, complemented by vibrant après-ski venues.

The best restaurants in New Zealand

When the time comes to satisfy your appetite, take a seat at one of these three fine restaurants:

• One Tree Grill, Auckland: One Tree Grill first opened its doors in 1996 and has been delighting visitors ever since. It’s no surprise that this eatery is consistently placed in the top 10 restaurants in Auckland with its focus on a fusion of European and New Zealand flavours. Here, dishes like long line market fish, seared duck breast, and eggplant and tofu dumplings can be paired with your preferred choice of wine from an exceptional selection. 
• Poco, Rotorua: This restaurant’s cuisine draws inspiration from the Spanish tradition of tapas, offering Mediterranean-influenced meals that are meant to be shared. The tasty menu features delicious options such as grilled courgettes, kingfish crudo, Poco fried chicken and lemongrass beef skewers, accompanied by wine, New Zealand craft beers, or one of the restaurant’s signature cocktails.  
• Rātā, Queenstown: Rātā is described as casual but luxurious dining. It’s an authentic New Zealand experience that focuses on produce so local and fresh that the menu changes daily. Some of the dishes you might find at this sustainability-focused establishment include Royalburn lamb shoulder, Bluff Moki and Canter Valley duck. The wine list is equally as impressive, with wines from the Otago region and further afield available for you to choose from.
