Luxury Holiday Auckland

Holidays in Auckland provide the ultimate blend of city sightseeing and nature. Situated in New Zealand’s North Island, it is the country’s largest and most cosmopolitan city and is a vibrant hub of high-end boutiques, world-class museums and award-winning restaurants and bars. Also known as the ‘City of Sails’ due to the number of yachts in its two stunning harbours, Auckland is a haven for watersports enthusiasts. Adventures include everything from kayaking and rafting to surfing and sailing. You can even go dolphin or whale spotting, or head underwater for unobstructed views of sharks and the other colourful sea life.

There is more to Auckland holidays than the urban metropolis. The city itself is surrounded by natural attractions, including Rangitoto Island, a dormant volcano, and Waiheke Island, known for its many beautiful wineries and vineyards. The Waitakere Ranges are also just a short drive away and are home to 16,000 hectares of native rainforest, picturesque waterfalls and dramatic black sand surf beaches. With 155 miles of trails, this is an incredible place to explore on foot.
