The wellness concept has grown in momentum as 'work-weary' travellers wish to achieve maximum impact from their holiday. The wellness spas of South Africa devilishly indulge the senses, with exotic cuisine coupled with inspiring surroundings. Wellness spa's can be found hidden deep within the African bush or perched delicately overlooking a vast expanse of ocean. There is no end to the diverse and picturesque locations where one can escape to a luxurious wellness retreat. Our packaged getaways are just a 'tip-of-the-iceberg' as to what is on offer in South Africa. All of the spas have a holistic approach to rejuvenating and energising their guests with a distinctly African flavour.

Spa facilities may differ per property and range from indoor / outdoor heated swimming pools, Zen or meditation gardens, gymnasiums and saunas to steam rooms. Trained and professional staff with state-of-the-art equipment administer specialist face and body treatments and techniques. Every spa intends that their clients take away with them the 'wow-factor-, therefore fantastic opportunities abound for treatments in the most wonderous settings. You can opt to have your treatment in the comfort of your own suite or private deck, along with your partner with 'treatments for two'.

So ... if you are in need of a break and some pampering, picture yourself on the private deck of your suite in the middle of the African bush, as an old bull elephant ambles slowly past, rumbling gently, and impala move daintily on the peripheral of your vision, as you are lulled into a peaceful reverie not only by the gentle sounds of nature, but by the professional masseuse who?s concoction of aromatherapy oils and the movement of light hands has transformed you into this blissful state!

Treat yourself to a Thompsons Wellness Getaway ... you deserve it!
