Pure Relaxation
Since the spa experience is all about well-being, we needed to choose products that are good for the environment and good for you. With this in mind, we have partnered with TheraNaka™. Their unique spa range includes exotic aromatics and herbal infusions, with powerful healing properties, for the ultimate restorative therapies. As natural as they are effective, we can also feel good about supporting a brand that is both eco-friendly and sustainable.
Spas
When you combine safari and spa, you really do get a total escape where time passes at a more natural pace. With hours to yourself between game viewing adventures, how better to spend it than treating yourself to pampering therapies? You’ll come away feeling relaxed and rejuvenated – exactly what a holiday should do for you!
Two of our Lion Sands Game Reserve properties, Ivory Lodge and River Lodge each include their own dedicated Spas. Located away from the main lodge areas, they offer spaces to embrace soul-deep relaxation, helped along by the ambient sounds of nature and fresh air, in addition to the top-to-toe treatments that’ll give you that all-round feeling of wellbeing.
Salas
The animals aren’t all you’ll find off in the bush… Our Spa Salas at Lion Sands Tinga Lodge and Narina Lodge are welcome surprises appearing in secluded spots. All manner of spa therapies and beauty treatments are offered in their open-air spaces, cooled by the natural breeze, where you can tune out to the sounds of the wild around you.
With only one treatment area, you’ll have the whole sala to yourself – unless you choose to share the experience with a friend or loved one. It’s the perfect way to have me-time or quality-time, while enjoying a spa experience that’ll help you totally de-stress and savour the moment.
In-Suite
Adding to your sense of complete escape at Marataba Luxury Lodges and Stanley & Livingstone Boutique Hotel, we offer al fresco and in-suite spa and beauty therapies. In the privacy of your Suite or deck, you’ll be transported you to a place of serenity with a massage, facial, mani-pedi, or full spa experience that will leave you also looking as good as you feel.
Spa on Call
For our Cape Town guests of Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel and More Quarters Neighbourhood Hotel, complete relaxation is on call! Say the word and we’ll arrange for spa therapies, in the privacy of your room, to relieve leftover tension and soothe skin developing the glow of a tan.
We’ve partnered with the expert therapists from Mobile Beauty To You, who will transform your room into a spa sanctuary in a matter of minutes. You’ll also have a full list of treatments – from massages, scrubs and wraps, to facials and mani-pedis – to choose from. Afterwards, you can flop on your bed or relax into the couch without having to fully come to.
