Heading to Waiheke for the weekend? We've found the perfect place to rest
There’s something special about a spontaneous trip to Waiheke. When Auckland starts to feel a bit too loud and full-on, a quick getaway is exactly what you need—and that’s how Remix Founder & Publisher Tim Phin ended up booking Omana Villas after a bit of late-night scrolling. By Friday, he was on the ferry, Mustang GT lined up for pickup, and heading into what felt like another world—greener, quieter, with just the right amount of glamour.
From the moment of arrival, Omana is next-level. A bottle of Pol Roger champagne and caviar from Caviar Mafia waiting in the fridge made for the perfect welcome. The villas are stunning—underfloor heating, beautifully designed interiors, and bathrooms that are more like spa suites than en-suites. Big mirrors, sleek finishes, and showers you’ll never want to leave.
Dinner was easy. Pre-made gourmet meals delivered straight to the villa meant no stress—just warm, serve, and relax with a glass of wine. The view the next morning made it all worth it: sun rising over the southern stretch of Auckland, coffee in hand, total peace. Here, it’s the details that prove that Omana isn’t just a weekend escape—it’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve found a little pocket of paradise.
