If you know me well, you’ll know that I get excited about these 3 things: People, travel & spa treatments!
So, when our friends decided to spoil us with a spa day, we could not refuse. (Everyone needs friends like ours!)
The thought of getting pampered, detoxing in the steam room & swimming in a heated pool got us so excited, we decided to stay the entire weekend.
And the reason I am blogging about this, is because we all know how amazing (& tiring) travel can be. When booking a holiday, we spend so much time exploring the area, dining out & taking pictures, that we forget about the ‘unwinding part of the trip!’
So, I say: ‘Go for it!” Treat yourself. By all means – explore, travel & repeat. But balance it with something that relaxes you. For me, that is massages & facials!
So off we went…
Upon arrival at Majeka House, a boutique hotel set in the historic town of Stellenbosch in the Cape Winelands, we checked into our room & decided to spend the afternoon relaxing by the heated pool. After sunset, we enjoyed a lovely dinner next to the fireplace – the perfect ending to a day in the Winelands. We particularly enjoyed their healthy poke bowls – in fact – we had it twice during our stay!
The next morning, after a delicious breakfast served in the restaurant overlooking lush gardens, we were ready for our day of pampering!
The Wellness Spa at Majeka House offers a wide range of spa treatments, including the complimentary use of the heated pool, steam room, sauna & Jacuzzi.
Their Spa Menu includes massages, facials, body wraps & scrubs, hand & feet treatments, waxing, nail treatments & much more.
You are also more than welcome to tailor your own package from their Spa Menu.
We decided on the Majeka Magic Package, which includes a 45 min back & foot massage, a 60 min bespoke facial & a lunch. This package is tailored to couples, so we were booked into the larger treatment room with 2 massage beds.
Their well-trained & experienced therapists were attentive to our personal needs & treated us like royalty.
After our pampering session, we put on white, fluffy robes & enjoyed an amazing lunch in the gardens. The rest of the day was spent reading on the pool loungers, swimming & detoxing in the steam room & Jacuzzi.
When travelling, we enjoy staying at properties that offer spa facilities, because there is always time for a little bit of pampering.
Most of Africa Unwind’s clients enjoy booking private tours to Cape Town & the Winelands, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t time for a relaxing treatment in the afternoon.
Or even better – stay an extra night & get pampered properly before flying back home!
Aren’t holidays about relaxing…? So, do that!
Come to Africa…& Unwind.
