Phumula Spa at the Hyatt Regency,
Johannesburg
Meaning “to rest” in Zulu, Phumula Spa at the Hyatt
Regency in Rosebank, Johannesburg, certainly lives up to
its name. From the moment you traverse the tree-lined
skywalk that leads to the sanctuary of Phumula Spa,
feelings of relaxation and comfort begin to set in.
The spa’s uplifting lime and bamboo décor beckons
visitors to lose themselves within the cocooned sanctuary
of Phumula, as they are guided to the separate men’s
and women’s facilities. These include whirlpools, plunge
pools, saunas, steam rooms and luxury changing rooms,
as well as a shared infinity pool that extends into the sky.
Each treatment room features dimmed lighting and gentle
music, and the qualified therapists carry out decadent
treatments in an unhurried fashion using Theravine and
Clarins products.

The Spa at The Twelve Apostles, Cape Town
As well as being one of the Mother City’s most scenically located five-star
hotels, The Twelve Apostles Hotel also boasts a superb spa which was recently
voted the Top Hotel Spa in Africa and The Middle East in the Travel + Leisure
2012 World’s Best Awards. The Spa at The Twelve Apostles underwent a complete
transformation a year ago, and this has clearly proved to be the secret to its success.
It boasts an all-white crystal grotto interior and features seven superbly
equipped treatment rooms for both dual and single treatments. Guests are
also spoilt for choice with a hydrotherapy bath and rain showers, a Rasul
Chamber for traditional cleansing rituals, a Perfect Finish Salon for manicures
and pedicures, and a Tranquillity Lounge and Wild Lanyana Aromatherm Room
for hydrotherapy treatments.
The new spa also features treatments and products from Red Carnation
Group’s exclusive B|Africa range, as well as Elemis and Dermalogica. Elemis
has even created a unique treatment for The Spa at The Twelve Apostles (called
The Escape), which is only available here.
