What sets the island apart from other destinations is its stunning white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking scenery. It is the most accessible island in the gulf, with regular passenger and car-ferry services and a helicopter operator based on the island.
Waiheke has become known as New Zealand's "island of wine," home to a dedicated group of winegrowers who have successfully matched the maritime climate and ancient soil structures to select classical grape varieties to produce red and white wines with distinctive varietal character.
The Island has a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly locals are among the most appealing aspects of visiting Waiheke Island. Beyond art, Waiheke Island offers a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, kayaking, and fishing. Whether you seek a tranquil retreat or an action-packed adventure, Waiheke Island caters to every traveller's desires.
The neighbourhood around Omana Luxury Villa offers a diverse range of experiences, from relaxation to adventure, making it a perfect destination for travellers seeking a memorable getaway.
Omana Luxury Villa is an award-winning boutique hotel on Waiheke Island, having received the prestigious Gold certification by Qualmark in the Sustainable Tourism Business category and a 5-Star Boutique & Lodge rating.
Our luxurious accommodation is deliberately designed to be in harmony with nature. Rather than detracting from the verdant native bush surrounding them, our villas settle into the landscape, creating a perfect eco-luxury retreat.
At Omana, you'll enjoy breathtaking sea views and glimpses of the native birds and our forest reserve. Whether you're looking for a couples getaway or simply escape the hustle of daily life, you’ll feel embraced by your chosen villa.
Esteemed New Zealand architect Pete Bossley designed Omana villas to the highest sustainability standards. Building products are environmentally certified and bought locally where possible. Everyone involved in this project was hand-picked for the quality of their work and passion for working sustainably.
Co-owner Silmara Scholtz has personally led the design of all interiors with her passionate Brazilian heart and inherent sense of style and flair. Bespoke furnishings have been hand-picked for each luxury villa, and the beds have been specially manufactured.
From day one, Silmara and her husband, Cobus, have made every decision for the good of the earth as well as the eye. They have significantly invested in ensuring the Omana forest can prosper, ridding it of weeds and pests and developing a programme of native planting.
This effort has already increased the bird life; the tuis are back!
Our luxurious accommodation setting provides a sanctuary of tranquillity and intimacy for couples on their honeymoon, anniversaries, special occasions, or seeking rekindled love.
Our villas are more than just a stay on Waiheke Island; they are the epitome of unwinding together. Picture in-room massages, warm baths in the oversized bathtub, picnics on the private beach and shared moments on the balcony.
Raise a glass to romance and allow Omana to be the backdrop to your love story.
Waiheke Island, the 'Mediterranean of New Zealand,' promises unforgettable experiences year-round. Just a mere 40-minute ferry ride or a 10-minute helicopter flight from Auckland CBD, this haven features crystal-clear waters, unspoiled beaches and a warm climate.
Upon arrival, rocky bays invite you for a quick dip, while the ocean-facing side reveals stunning beaches framed by dramatic cliffs and sweeping Pacific Ocean views.
For ultimate relaxation, lounge on a sun lounger with a good book. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy snorkelling, hiking, kayaking and paddleboarding.

When Cobus and Silmara Scholtz first stepped onto the land now known as Omana Luxury Villa, both were speechless. The late afternoon sun cast a golden light across the humming earth. A Wawata (Fantail) danced in front of them. Leaves in the neighbouring vineyard fluttered in the lightest of breezes. They knew this was exactly where they should be.
