A day at the spa is about so much more than the treatment, it’s the grand surroundings and the use of space that elevate some over others as a holistic luxury experience. It’s also often a signature style or celebrity appeal that draws luxe-lovers to the ultimate lifestyle hotels. The Know showcases two exceptional properties that get the balance between heritage, prime location and branded wellness experiences so right.
Prime Property | The 12 Apostles
Just the view of the dramatic Atlantic from this exquisite, award-winning, 5-star hotel makes it one of the most special stay-overs in the Cape. It’s holistic in its appeal as guests enjoy fine dining at Azure restaurant, drinks at the Leopard Bar and signature experiences at the spa just beyond. The multi award-winning The Spa at The Twelve Apostles, one of only four Leading Spas in South Africa, boasts an ethereal, all-white crystal grotto interior. Designed by owner Toni Tollman, natural muted tones of white, beige, stone and marble were chosen to exude a calming, light and spiritual ambience, allowing guests to succumb to the hands of expert therapists with treatments that heal, restore and pamper.
Luxury Brand | Decleor
Inspired by this strong belief in the power of nature, Decléor states that they have harnessed the best of the botanical world to create a brand steeped in harmony and responsibility.
Luxe Appeal? The Decleor Signature treatment
The signature treatment is done exclusively through the 12 Apostles Spa. It’s called the “Decleor Awakening” and consists of a 90-minute journey of indulgence from massage to facial. Using the *new* Aurabsolu Hydrogel mask, your therapist revitalizes your skin. The massage includes the Decleor Body Balm, and you’ll be transported on an unforgettable aromatherapy, sensorial voyage. Ask for Rose.
Prime Property | The Cellars Hohenort
