Lake Wanaka, situated at the base of New Zealand’s Southern Alps and near Mount Aspiring National Park, is home to a Lifestyle Preserve – the world’s first of its kind. This initiative not only protects the region’s natural ecology but also preserves the traditional way of life of its local communities.

Pristine and crystal-clear, Lake Wanaka has long been a haven for water sports enthusiasts in New Zealand, offering activities such as sailing and motorboating. Its natural environment also supports a wide range of outdoor pursuits including cycling, hiking, skiing, and alpine trekking. Now designated as a lifestyle preserve, these activities can continue in a manner that respects nature, making the national park even more accessible. Visitors can immerse themselves in Māori lifestyles and environments while enjoying the majestic and beautiful scenery. Lake Wanaka can thus maintain a high quality of life in the long term, offering new perspectives on the relationship between humans and the natural environment (as well as local culture).
