New Zealand Luxury Vacations

New Zealand Travel Guide

Condé Nast Traveler readers named New Zealand their “Favorite Country to Visit” in 2008 with its thousands of activities and adventures waiting to be discovered. The temperate climate and variety of landscapes and environments make New Zealand an ideal year-round vacation destination.

The country is made up of two large islands, North and South (Te Ika a Maui and Te Wai Pounamu, in Maori) and a string of surrounding islands. The smaller islands are speckled with farmland, national parks, forests, vineyards and beaches, with gorgeous private villas tucked into the scenic paradise. There are gorgeous national parks and marine reserves, wild safaris, and exciting cities and villages all abundant with the blended cultural mix of European and Polynesian descendents.

It is a unique and dynamic country with wide open spaces, rugged landscapes, incredible flora and fauna, snow-capped mountains, lakes, hot springs and even volcanoes. And remember, no matter where you go in New Zealand, it’s always a short trip to the beach.
