CHUAN SPA

This wellness haven (chuanspa. co.nz) in the Cordis hotel has an outdoor pool deck, sauna, herbal steam room, ice bath and “snail shower” (an S-shaped, mosaictiled tunnel of multiple face- and waist-level jets that you walk through). For a full hour of zen, try the Chuan Executive Indulgence treatment, which uses the spa’s own line of oils and scrubs to invigorate hands, feet and scalp.
