New Zealand

New Zealand is like Switzerland, Scotland and Canada all rolled into one. It's a place of mesmerising natural beauty, from icy glaciers and deep fjords to ancient rainforests and deserted beaches. Those with an adventurous disposition can ski, raft, hike or indulge in some inspirational golfing. Or swim with dolphins, whale-watch or fish for plump trout. Elegant Resorts' featured accommodation is particularly inviting and, in many cases, privately owned for that personal touch. With mouthwatering cuisine, award-winning wines and the most spectacular scenery, New Zealand has it all.
