South Africa's Twelve Apostles Hotel to Unveil New Spa
The spa's neutral palette and natural look will be in keeping with the Red Carnation sister properties -- The Oyster Box in Umhlanga and Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve and Wellness Retreat in the Cederberg.

The new spa will use Elemis and Dermalogica products. The Apostles Touch, a back-to-nature journey of profound relaxation, will include using stones from Table Mountain for a hot stone foot massage, handpicked fynbos for a back of the body exfoliation and shells from the Atlantic Ocean for a lava shell massage. The Sunset Mountain Serenade starts with a champagne picnic that takes in the views of the ocean and the Twelve Apostles Mountain Range, followed by a touch point foot ritual and a 90-minute massage in the shaded mountain gazebos. The spa's treatment rooms will be equipped for dual and single treatments, with a hydrotherapy bath, rain showers, a Rasul Chamber for traditional cleansing rituals using steam and mud, a Perfect Finish Salon for manicures and pedicures, Wild Lanyana Aromatherm Room for hydrotherapy treatments or a Vichy Shower, plunge pools, a floatation pool and a Tranquillity Lounge.

Several spa packages are available including the “Babymooner” to spoil expectant mothers and “Spa-ties,” for groups to enjoy a range of treatments and facilities. Unique packages including catering and cocktails can also be designed to individual specification. A health bar will be stocked with complimentary nutritious fruit nibbles, freshly squeezed juices and herbal teas. Light fare can be ordered off Executive Chef Henrico Grobbelaar's spa menu. The current spa will close on June 1 for eight weeks of renovation. Treatments will still be available in a temporary spa in an interleading two-bedroom suite during this period.
