When we are looking for luxury private villas to make our holidays more memorable and unique, we usually imagine accommodation in stunning places like Greece, Majorca and Ibiza. The good news is that you will also find this perfect kind of stay in New Zealand, more specifically, on Waiheke Island, off the coast of Auckland.
Waiheke is one of the top romantic getaway destinations, and it can be reached within a short 40-minute ferry ride from downtown Auckland. Another amazing option that makes the journey even more sophisticated is coming by helicopter, marvelling at the views all along the 12-minute journey.

With beautiful beaches, wineries, culture and art, couples have it all for a wonderful time in Waiheke, especially because of the peace found all around the island.
With this in mind, Omana owned the mission to add luxury, exclusiveness and beauty to a honeymoon, anniversary or couples getaway close to Auckland – a city that gets direct flights from major hubs around the world, including Australia, USA, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, and Chile.
So now we are going to share with you a bit more of the details of our luxury private villas to help you decide how to spend your vacation on Waiheke Island.
Omana is made of four beautifully designed villas, with an abundance of space within and in all of its surroundings. The luxury villas are nestled in an expansive verdant area, set on top of a hill with a marvellous view of Woodside Bay.

Can you imagine having your daily breakfast with a sea view?! This is one of the wonders you will experience at Omana, and it’s beautiful all year round, not only on sunny but also on cloudy and rainy, yet cosy, days.
If you’d like more than just looking at it, move on to experience the touch of the sea. Omana guests have access to a secluded spot on Woodside Bay.
Drive down the road or gently adventure yourself on a bushwalk, and be on your way to a private beach where you are invited to spend some quiet and quality time.
Listen to the water sounds and the birds' song, a treasure of Waiheke Island. Omana is immersed in nature and was built to be in harmony with the natural world. That is why guests feel replenished and reconnected with themselves.
Each and every aspect of our luxury villas was considered carefully to meet high sustainability standards, which is why we are part of the Woodside Bay Association, to help control pests in the area and preserve flora and fauna.
The villas were a result of a thoughtful and caring project, and had the signature of the brilliant architect Pete Bossley, and our personal touch made each interior unique. No stay at Omana will ever be the same, making it a destination worth revisiting. In fact, for each booking with us, nature gets a tree.
Omana’s luxury private villas were named to reflect the essence of what we hope each guest will discover during their stay.
Here are some of the features our guests will find:
In the kitchenette, you will discover that the tap provides fresh sparkling and chilled filtered still water, which means no need for plastic bottles.
Guests also have appliances that will give them independence and comfort during their stay, such as:
In our luxury private villas, a detail that is far from small is the bathtub, carefully placed in a perfect spot in each of the accommodations: facing the ocean.
After a day of amusements around Waiheke with our exclusive tours, or even before going out to explore the island, immerse yourself in a warm bath, alone or in the company of your loved one.
For a delightful and convenient experience, order in from our exclusive menu:
When the evening is about to greet you, set the mood with a bottle of wine and gaze at the twilight and the wonders of nature.
When you choose to stay in a luxury villa, the trip gets a whole new meaning. Guests should feel more than welcome; they should have a sense that they are comfortably at home, yet a world away from the mundane.
To help you find comfort, here are some amenities for our guests:

But let’s make a list of Waiheke activity suggestions to help you plan your trip:

This private tasting, curated solely for Omana guests, offers an intimate journey through sustainably crafted vintages, paired with stunning Church Bay vistas.
As you could see above, Waiheke is certainly the place to leave daily life behind and find a reconnection. It’s wonderful to feel distant from the mundane, yet only a short drive from Waiheke’s amusements.
