3 Unique Spa Treatments

This month we are focusing on our Spa, the key to wellbeing and beautiful travelling for those visiting the Cape. Below are a couple of unique and exclusive spa treatments found at Ellerman House and a few of our favourite hotels.

Ellerman House
We have recently teamed up with !QMS Medicosmetics and created an exclusive Ellerman House Signature Facial targeting tired and dull skin due to long distance travelling and jetlag.

The facial starts with a thorough cleanse followed by Exfoliant Fluid and either Night or Day Collagen with a lifting and firming massage to relax and restore skin tone. The Exfoliant Fluid makes absorption of the collagen more effective and allows it to penetrate deeply into the layers of the skin. An algae mask will then be applied to your face followed by a QMS Oxygen Treatment and ending with a moisturising mixture of Hydro Foam and Moisturising Balance. The Signature treatment focuses on cleansing, through exfoliation, maximum hydration with the added benefit of an overall collagen and oxygen boost on the skin. This luxurious treatment will soothe away your tired skin while the face, décolletage, hand and footstone massage will distress and relax your travel weary body.

Delaire Graff
Delaire Graff Estate is situated on the picturesque Helshoogte Pass in Stellenbosch and overlooks the Stellenbosch vineyards. Delaire Graff has a very special Signature Massage using Terres d’Afrique products where visitors will be treated to 2 hours, or more, of pure bliss. The treatment features a rasul ritual in the sauna and steam room with a face and body exfoliation as well as face and body treatment masks with a full body massage either before or after the ritual. This treatment is perfect for couples and the award-winning Indochine restaurant featuring Asian inspired dishes is a perfect stop to end a day of ultimate pampering and relaxation.

Babylonstoren
Set in the beautiful Franschhoek area of the Western Cape, Babylonstoren recently introduced their range of Hamman treatments. Inspired by the Turkish versions of a steam bath or sauna, Babylonstoren created their own hamman in their Garden Spa.

Their Private Hamman Water Ritual starts with a full-body exfoliation followed by dynamic flexing, a body butter massage and a head and scalp massage and ends with a cleanse. Visitors are invited to relax in the chill room or bamboo garden and have a choice of two lunch options: a ribbon vegetable salad with salad greens, fruit, fragrant herbs and edible flowers served with a ginger and sesame dressing OR soba noodles and wild mushrooms with coriander and miso dressing. The hamman is created for a single person, a couple of two friends.
