Enjoy a premium journey through sauna, steam and snow, culminating in a private geothermal pool at Hanmer Springs’ newest wellness experience, Elemental. Restore balance to mind and body!
Welcome to Elemental at Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa — New Zealand’s premier alpine wellness complex.
Designed for pairs, couples, and groups of friends seeking deep relaxation and an innovative spa experience, Elemental takes you on a 75-minute guided contrast therapy journey inspired by the four natural elements: fire, air, ice, and water.
Powered by natural geothermal waters and framed by a stunning alpine landscape, this immersive sensory experience balances mind and body:
Fire: A dry heat sauna, warmed and timber-scented. This is where the ritual begins — the body is awakened, pores open, and deep, restorative sweating releases built-up tension.
Air: An aromatic steam room. Warmth and moisture continue the work Ember began, easing muscles further and preparing the body for contrast.
Ice: A snow room, with falling snowflakes and an ice wall. The cold sharpens the senses and heightens awareness after the heat of Ember and Mist.
Water: Guests conclude in their own private geothermal pool, where stillness settles the body and mind. A complimentary beverage and light platter are served here, allowing guests to remain immersed until the close of the experience.
A landmark addition to Hanmer Springs, Elemental is the ultimate sanctuary to restore balance, recharge, and reconnect in the heart of Canterbury!
