There are luxury 5-star resorts all over New Zealand, in both the North and South Island. They cost anywhere between A$188 to A$2034 a night, based on two people sharing. Look out for additional handpicked inclusions from Luxury Escapes, including daily breakfasts, food and drinks credit, late checkout, welcome drinks and spa treatments.

It all depends on what type of escape you’re after. For alpine adventures amongst glaciers, try the West Coast’s Rainforest Retreat (in the South Island), or for a five-star Queenstown getaway, don’t miss Eichardt’s Private Hotel. On the North Island, QT Auckland in New Zealand’s largest city of Auckland offers a luxury city base, while Sofitel Wellington is perfectly perched for all your adventuring needs.
