Aro Ha is a modern day health retreat located 45 minutes drive from Queenstown in New Zealand’s picturesque South Island.

This brand new extravagant venture is a brain child of two amazing minds – Chris Madison, US hedge fund founder slash billionaire and Damian Chaparro, yoga guru from celebrity health retreat, The Ashram in California. About 5 years ago these brilliant entrepreneurs got together in Switzerland to discuss a possibility of going into health retreat business together. They wanted to create a retreat that will encompass spiritual, physical and mental health and be spectacular in every way.

Well, after visiting Aro Ha in September this year I have to admit that their dreams have come true. Today, Chris, 45, looks not a day older than 35 – his skin glows and his eyes sparkle, he is fit, healthy and successful not only in business but in his family life and overall wellbeing. Damian, super fit yogi and simply an inspirational man is living a dream, waking up every day to a magical view of Queenstown lakes and mountains and dedicating his working hours to enriching other people’s lives with purpose and mindfulness.
