Adding to this inspirational environment, the spa also presents sublime treatments, Cape Townå‘s only Rasul Chamber, and an exquisite interior that blends Eastern spirit with a perfectly tranquil environment to ensure the ultimate in relaxation and rejuvenation.

Located on acres of pristine land just outside the bustling city of Cape Town, the Sanctuary Spa will become a haven for city-worn souls, day revellers, and those seeking a luxurious spa getaway. Brian Brennan, Projects Director of Red Carnation Hotels together with Toni Tollman, have expertly used the water element as the dominant feature in the spa, creating an ambience of natural harmony with soothing earth tones and raw materials of stone and wood to. They have also designed certain free-flowing spaces to fall in line with the sanctuary-sense of the spa. In the upper Sanctuary relaxation area, for example, an outside waterfall, safeguarded on either side by magnificent statues of Buddha, brings the surrounding natural environment inside.

Inside the focal point is an impressive indoor Hydropool, flanked by a Brine Pool and Cold Plunge Pool. Elegantly flowing outwards from this area is the spa’s Health Bar and pool area. Dark mahogany wooden tables and units, which add richness and warmth to the area, are the masterpieces of Cape Town’s hip new furniture designer, Gregg Mellor.
All seven treatment rooms in the spa are equipped with light therapy and heated massage beds that assist in generating a warm, soothing atmosphere, while the resin floors bring harmony from the rocks to the treatment areas, creating a sleek transfer from the water element to the calm and seclusion of the treatment rooms.

Certain rooms are to be adapted to include hydrotherapy and tanning treatments, and two inter-connecting rooms enable couples to share treatments together. To offer the best of both indoor and outdoor spa experiences, the Sanctuary Spa provides secluded gazebos giving guests the opportunity to enjoy outdoor therapies that are enhanced by the elements of sea, air and the natural aromas of the surrounding Fynbos vegetation.
In between treatments guests can laze next to the indigenous Fynbos gardens on comfortable chaise lounges or simply soak up the pleasures of the heated waters of the mountain salt-water pool. Ultimately, the ideal of witnessing one of the world’s most spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean while experiencing a massage mixed with the South African spa culture is really what captures the essence and uniqueness of The Sanctuary Spa.
