“Bay Of Many Coves isn't just in the Marlborough Sounds; it feels like a part of it, accessible only by water taxi, which immediately sets a tone of secluded luxury. The focus here extends beyond typical resort amenities, emphasizing tailored wellness at the Miritu Day Spa and a genuine commitment to local and sustainable cuisine.
