Following the elegant line of Table Mountain`s eastern slope, the traveller will find South Africa`s most exclusive `Destination Spa` nestled between the verdant Constantiaberg Mountains.
Established in 1998, the spa has recently been voted as one of `The Top 20 Spas in the World` by The Sunday Telegraph as well as being awarded a 5 star grading by the South African Grading Council. In a relatively short period of time, Sérénité has become one of the world`s finest establishments where guests will find gracious elegance of hotel rooms and spa facilities, genuine hospitality and the unique combination of the luxurious services of a boutique hotel combined with refined wellness cuisine.
Accommodation consists of 14 luxuriously appointed classic styled suites of which some are located in the historic Manor House and the remainder in the beautifully landscaped gardens which overlook False Bay. Staff deliver daily replenishments of fresh fruit and flowers to the suites, which is only a small `eye opener` into the world of Sérénité where discreet personalised attention is paramount.
The Sérénité Team is at the forefront of international trends in spa management and offer many unique treatments such as pre and post - operative care, executive de-stress, detox and weight loss programmes. All staff not only endeavour to offer a most excellent service but strive to educate and train the visitor so that `Sérénité Awareness` is taken home and used productively in every day life.  Facilities at the spa include: 7 Treatment Rooms, Heated 12,5 meter Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium, 2 Outdoor Swimming Pools, 2 Saunas, 2 Steam Baths, Meditation Sanctuary.  Signature treatments include: An outdoor massage in the Meditation Sanctuary and the ever-popular Marine Detox Experience.
Sérénité`s carefully selected health food defies normal perceptions of spa cuisine. Naturally, all meals are low in fat, sodium and cholestral and are prepared in close consultation between guest and chef. Chef Dietmar Faes - ex Table Bay Hotel, offers three dietary options being, Detox, Weight Loss and De - Stress.
Due to the phenomenal success of Sérénité - Constantia, construction on Sérénité - Winelands and Sérénité - Namibia has begun and both `Destination Spas` will be open in April 2003.
In the words of Elizabeth Brandt, Founder of the Sérénité Wellness Centres: `We believe that beauty goes far deeper than the obvious, and that inner calm and well-being radiate from a person making them truly beautiful to look at and be with`. With this life philosophy in mind, all visitors to the Sérénité spas can be assured of a most special time and a re-awakening of the body, mind and spirit.
