Azur Queenstown
Azur is ideal for escaping everyday life and finding a new balance on a lush hilltop overlooking the mountain-framed Lake Wakatipu. Practice yoga on your sun deck in summer, have breakfast by your gas fire in winter, or draw a bath, pour a glass of wine, and throw open the wall-to-wall windows for some late-night stargazing, whatever the season. Elevated in every way, each of the nine identical villas is impeccably presented, with contemporary woods, fresh colors, and views stretching to the Remarkables ski resort and far beyond.
Wake up to the sunrise over the mountains in one of nine private villas. Get your adrenaline pumping with skydiving, zip-lining, and paragliding. Share private meals delivered to the comfort of your accommodations. Relax after a day of exploring the Southern Alps with an in-villa massage. Enjoy breakfast and afternoon tea in The Lodge. Indulge in the unique experience of stargazing from your indoor bathtub. Vast windows and large sun decks epitomize the inside-out living at Azur's nine separate villas, whether in summer or winter. Immerse yourself in the iconic beauty of New Zealand's adventure capital and one of the country's most beautiful places to live, stay, and explore.
Villa - Each of the nine spacious villas at Azur is completely private, making your stay as peaceful as possible. Designed for comfort, the identical villas are chic and sophisticated, with contemporary décor and natural wood paneling, creating a feeling of harmony between the accommodations and the landscape. A wall of glass frames Lake Wakatipu and its surrounding mountains, and the deep-soak bath sits in a large bay window. The world comes to you at Azur: from in-villa massages to meals delivered to your private balcony or your table by the gas fire. Have local restaurant meals creatively presented in your pied-à-Terre, or ask the chauffeur to drop you at your choice of Queenstown eatery. Use the in-villa yoga mat for some sun salutations or join a local class by having the car take you to Queenstown Gym, where you have complimentary access.
Dining - In The Lodge, the Azur team creates delicious breakfasts, afternoon teas, and evening hors d'oeuvres served with exceptional wines. For lunch and evening meals, the team arranges and delivers your choice of dishes from local recommended restaurants to your villa. "The Lodge" – Join other guests and meet the friendly team at The Lodge, where you will have perfect plates of complimentary breakfast, delightful afternoon tea, or light evening canapés made using fresh, local produce. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere inside, or head to the outdoor fireplace for an evening glass of wine.
In-Villa Dining – If you would rather stay in your villa for a private candlelit dinner as the sun drops behind the mountains, Azur recommends local restaurants, providing you with menus to make your decision. Please choose what you would like, and the team will have it delivered beautifully presented right to your table, complete with a bottle of New Zealand wine, should you wish. If you would like to eat out, the complimentary chauffeur service will drop you in Queenstown.
Activities - After you have embraced the peace and felt your cares slip away with in-villa spa treatments and massages, enjoy complimentary afternoon tea or evening canapés. Lounge in your spacious villa and absorb the breathtaking views of Lake Wakatipu, or step outside and enjoy the spectacle and ambiance of the great outdoors, moments from Azur. Villas come with yoga mats to practice independently, or the team can arrange for a teacher to come to you.
Take a hike along Lake Wakatipu's shoreline, or embark on a dramatic flightseeing trip. Set out on a four-wheel-drive adventure down Skipper's Canyon Road, go white-water rafting down the Shotover River, or jet-boating along the Dart River. Head to Coronet Peak or the Remarkables in winter to take on New Zealand's best skiing, join a stargazing tour, or explore the 75 wineries in Gibbston Valley.
Location - In the hills less than a 10-minute drive from downtown Queenstown, Azur blends the abundance of mountain activities with lively city culture. It makes a perfect outdoor adventure base while maintaining a sense of remote tranquility, connecting you with nature.
