On a picturesque, 40-hectare mountainside farm in Stellenbosch’s Idas Valley, this is a “proper” spa in the classic European tradition, where guests check in for a number of days to be expertly guided to holistic health and wellness. From ozone therapy and inbody analysis to shiatsu and cellulite-busting endermologie, there is a dizzying range of options and programmes.
Lay of the land Apart from myriad treatment rooms and hydrotherapy areas, there is an indoor heated pool, outdoor eco-pool and a mindfulness-boosting labyrinth. It also has its own onsite permaculture vegetable garden to ensure prime nutrition.
