A Royal Treat: Royal MalewaneRoyal Malewane is a safari lodge in the Thornybush Game Reserve, and offers luxurious treatments on your South African holiday. Royal Malewane has reached the pinnacle of taste within timeless, classic elegance and has created a spa that goes beyond anything you might have dreamed of.
Royal Malewane have re-defined the concept of safari spa, with a serene courtyard of treatment rooms around a long lap-pool in the heart of the bush. White curtains are drawn during treatments, and they waft gently to let in a warm breeze bringing sounds of African birdlife. It is an environment of opulent peacefulness. Serenely beautiful therapists float about wearing white and each treatment is preceded by their signature foot-washing ceremony. The whole atmosphere exudes harmony and luxury, created in a way that only Royal Malewane knows how.
Royal Malewane High Life: Altiraspa, Westin Grand Cape Town Arabella Quays, Cape TownSuch is the influence of the high level AltiraSPA on the 19th floor of the glass fronted Westin Grand Cape Town Arabella Quays that while the city busies itself, you can opt out. The AltiraSPA philosophy is based on a 7-pillar concept; beauty, harmony, vitality, aqua, life balance, nature and nutrition. So put your body into the hands of massage therapists and beauticians, who can knead you, shape and polish you into an improved version of your former self.
Once disrobed and clad in a sumptuously woolly bathrobe, youthful therapists lead you down a quiet corridor to a series of Spa treatment rooms, which have floor to ceiling glass panels that could disconcert the vertiginous. For a watery high, take a dip in the motionless lap pool with sky-high view of Cape Town from the picture windows.
