Luxury Retreats adds New Zealand to its portfolio

Luxury Retreats announces the expansion of its curated portfolio of hand-picked vacation rentals with 10 deluxe private homes in South Island, New Zealand, one of the world’s most sought-after travel spots.

South Island is renowned for its diverse landscapes, jaw-dropping views, private beaches, fascinating Maori artifacts, and historic significance, and is also famous as the filming location for the Lord of The Rings Trilogy. By adding New Zealand, Luxury Retreats continues its consistent growth strategy in the community marketplace for vacation homes.


“Luxury Retreats is a forward-thinking company, always looking to deliver new experiences in new locations for our guests, many of whom return to our properties year after year,” said Luxury Retreats Founder and CEO Joe Poulin.

“We travel the world and anticipate where our guests want to vacation, and with them in mind, we add to our collection of villas and expand the Luxury Retreats offerings so our guests create once-in-a-lifetime memories.”



Consistent with other Luxury Retreats properties, guests interested in booking the homes in New Zealand will have access to a dedicated villa specialist to help guide them to the perfect property, plus 24Seven concierge services.
