Aluume is a wellness company built on a simple belief: the best spaces don't compete with their surroundings,
they honour them.
What we believe
Aluume was founded on the idea that wellness doesn't need to take you somewhere else. It should bring you closer to where you are, who you're with, and how you actually feel.
We don't chase trends. We don't build over landscapes. We listen to them.
Every Aluume experience begins with the environment it sits within - the water, the light, the materials, the culture, the people who call that place home. Design follows. Hospitality follows. Everything serves the space, not the other way around.
The result is something that feels less like a venue and more like a deep breath. Intentional. Considered. Quietly generous.
Inspiration, not escapism. That's the difference.
1/ ENVIRONMENT LED DESIGN
We begin with the place. Every material, every sightline, every temperature is a response to the landscape not an imposition on it.
3/ CONNECTED TO PLACE & PEOPLE
We design for the communities and cultures that hold a place together not just the people passing through.
2/ INTUITIVE HOSPITALITY
The best care is the kind you don't have to ask for. We anticipate. We prepare. We step back. You just arrive.
4/ AN INSPIRED PAUSE
In a world that rewards busy, we make space for the pause. Not as a luxury. As a necessity.
The Experiences
Bathe
URBAN HOT POOLSHot pools, cold monsoon showers, and magnesium-enriched water — tucked into Brecon Street, right in the heart of town. A modern take on the onsen tradition, architecturally crafted to sit quietly within the landscape.
A sauna and cold plunge experience suspended on the waters of Lake Wakatipu. Heat, cold, and total immersion designed to be at home on the lake. Set at Frankton Marina. Coming soon.
FLOATING SAUNAThermae
“Aluume isn't a destination. It's an approach.
To space. To people. To the way things feel when someone's actually thought about them.
We're just getting started. And we're not in a hurry.”
