New Zealand: Luxury Done Different

There’s a distinct rhythm to New Zealand’s approach to refined travel. It’s waking up in a treehouse overlooking the Kaikoura ranges and ocean. It’s soaring above Fiordland’s untouched wilderness on a private flight. It’s tasting Central Otago pinot noir where the grapes are grown, guided by people who know the land best. With landscapes that exist nowhere else in the world, luxury flows effortlessly between nature and culture—understated and deeply memorable.

Luxury Lodges

Stay in some of New Zealand’s most remarkable retreats. From Hapuku Lodge’s treehouses overlooking the Kaikoura ranges to The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs with sweeping ocean views, to lakeside elegance at Huka Lodge near Taupo, each offers world-class comfort, exceptional cuisine and tailored experiences. These lodges are more than places to stay—they’re destinations in themselves, set against landscapes that take your breath away.

Wine Experiences

Sip your way through three of the world’s finest wine regions: Central Otago, Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay. From pinot noir among mountain peaks to sauvignon blanc by the sea, to full-bodied reds in rolling valleys, every tasting is a chance to meet passionate winemakers and connect with the land.

Golf in Paradise

Play on courses ranked among the best in the world, where fairways meet dramatic coastlines, alpine backdrops and pristine lakes. From Cape Kidnappers to Jack’s Point, New Zealand’s golf experiences combine championship design with unforgettable scenery, making every round as memorable as the landscapes that surround you.

Every moment is designed to be personal, meaningful and unforgettable. Celebrate a special occasion or simply treat yourself, because in New Zealand, luxury is about finding experiences that feel 100% yours. Connect with your advisor to begin your journey.
