Nurturing wellbeing,honouring the whenua.

At Aroha Retreats NZ, sustainability is woven into everything we do — from the way we care for our land to how we host our guests. We're committed to practices that respect te taiao (the natural world), minimise our footprint, and give back to the communities and ecosystems that support us. Whether it's sourcing locally, reducing waste, or partnering with conscious suppliers, our goal is to create restorative experiences that tread lightly and leave a lasting positive impact.

Our Next Steps

Working Towards B Corp Certification

We're proud to be on the path to B Corp Certification — a globally recognised benchmark for ethical, transparent, and socially responsible business. This process is guiding us to deepen our impact, strengthen our governance, and formalise the practices we already live by: caring for people, planet, and purpose. It's not just about meeting a standard — it's about raising ours.

Our B Corp journey reflects our commitment to being more than a retreat provider. We're building a business that uplifts everyone it touches — guests, staff, facilitators, suppliers, and the land itself.

Not Just Us

Our Commitment to Social Sustainability

At Aroha Retreats NZ, social sustainability means fostering wellbeing not just for our guests, but for our people, places, and communities. Across each of our retreat locations, we work closely with local partners, hire local talent, and support the cultural, social, and economic resilience of the areas we operate in. From fair employment practices and cultural respect to inclusive spaces and community engagement, we're building environments where people feel safe, supported, and connected — long after their stay ends.
