Unwind, Recharge, and Thrive: The Rise of Wellness Incentives in New Zealand
In today’s fast-paced world, organisations are increasingly recognising the profound impact of employee and client wellbeing on overall success. The trend towards wellness incentives and retreats is rapidly gaining momentum, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional reward programmes.
At HQ New Zealand, we’ve witnessed firsthand the shift towards more mindful and restorative incentive travel. We understand that an effective wellness retreat goes beyond luxury; it’s about providing genuine opportunities for connection and rejuvenation.
From the majestic peaks of Queenstown to the healing waters of Rotorua, New Zealand is a natural sanctuary for a wellness incentive trip.
Recent Wellness Incentive Highlights
In 2024, we delivered a range of exceptional wellness incentive trips, each curated to inspire and restore. Here are some of the activities that made these programmes special:
Mountaintop breath workshop, connecting guests with nature in a serene alpine location.
Raw cooking class with acclaimed chefs, the Two Raw Sisters.
Scenic biking activity (with e-bikes available), winding through picturesque valleys, finishing with a farm-to-table lunch, allowing everyone to enjoy the fresh air and breathtaking scenery together.
Heli-hiking adventures, making what would have been a multi-day backcountry trip into an unparalleled day trip that catered for all fitness levels.
Backcountry award ceremony held in the stunning Rees Valley, where we flew the winning sales team into a mountain valley to receive an award from their VP in an intimate and moving moment.
Sunrise yoga session, followed by a wholesome, locally sourced breakfast.
Overnight glamping surprise, offering truly unique accommodation, complete with creature comforts of flushing toilets and catered meals, for an unforgettable experience sleeping under the stars.
