Escape the Christmas rush and reset your soul with the ultimate holiday spa getaway at Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort this festive season.
The Christmas season in New Zealand is a whirlwind of social gatherings, gift-shopping, and family reunions. While the joy of the holidays is undeniable, the “end-of-year burnout” is very real. This December, instead of letting the stress of the season take over, why not plan a holiday spa getaway that allows you to truly unwind? Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort is the perfect sanctuary for those looking to balance festive fun with deep, restorative relaxation.
Located just a stone’s throw from the sparkling Lake Taupo, DeBretts offers a unique Christmas experience for both locals and visitors. Imagine waking up on a sunny December morning in a luxury lake villa or a cozy chalet, surrounded by lush gardens, and heading straight for a soak in the mineral-rich thermal waters. A holiday spa getaway here means access to world-class facilities, including the famous outdoor hot pools and the private indoor soaks that have made this resort a legendary Kiwi destination.
If you are visiting with the family during the Christmas break, the resort transforms into a summer playground. The kids can splash around in the warm water playground or race down the hydroslides, giving the adults some much-needed quiet time at the Living Waters Spa. Treat yourself to a festive facial or a full-body massage to melt away the tension of the year. After your soak, grab a barista-made coffee and a fresh snack at the Savour Café—the perfect way to refuel before heading back out for more holiday adventures.
Choosing a holiday spa getaway during the Christmas week is also a fantastic gift idea. Taupo DeBretts offers gift vouchers that make for the perfect “experience gift” under the tree, giving your loved ones something to look forward to in the New Year. Whether you are staying for a week or just popping in for a day soak on Boxing Day, the team at DeBretts is ready to welcome you with warm hospitality. Don’t let the holidays fly by in a blur of chores—make space for yourself and your family to reconnect and recharge in the heart of the North Island.
