Only in New Zealand: Moments That Stay With You Forever

InterContinental Auckland

Some destinations impress you. New Zealand stays with you.

From glowworm-lit caves and geothermal marvels to glassy lakes and vibrant food scenes, Aotearoa offers experiences that feel both otherworldly and warmly familiar. Whether you’re seeking adventure, culture, or restorative calm, this island nation delivers unforgettable moments shaped by nature, heritage and genuine Kiwi hospitality.

With IHG Hotels & Resorts properties across the country, travellers are perfectly positioned to explore New Zealand’s landscapes and stories — from dynamic cities to serene alpine escapes.

Glowworms, Geysers and Natural Wonders

New Zealand’s natural beauty is immersive and diverse. Drift silently through the glowworm-lit caverns of Waitomo Glowworm Caves, witness the geothermal drama of Rotorua, or stand beside the mirror-like waters of Lake Wakatipu framed by dramatic peaks.

These landscapes are not simply scenic; they create moments of stillness and wonder that travellers carry home long after the journey ends.

Flavours Worth Travelling For

From vineyard lunches in Central Otago to fresh seafood along the coasts, New Zealand’s culinary identity is shaped by pristine produce and multicultural influences. Local markets, artisan cheesemakers and world-class restaurants offer flavours that are both refined and deeply connected to the land and sea.

Pair regional wines with seasonal dishes and you’ll discover why food has become an essential part of the New Zealand travel experience.
