Southern and East Africa offer a little slice of everything, giving visitors the opportunity to experience the incredible wildlife and at the same time providing them with a spa to nourish and revitalise the body, soul and mind. Wellness spas devilishly indulge the senses and are set in inspiring surroundings to uplift the soul. They can be found hidden deep within the African bush or perched delicately overlooking a vast expanse of ocean - there is no end to the many diverse and picturesque locations.

Most offer a holistic approach to rejuvenating and energizing the weary, with a distinctly African flavour.

In addition to this many hotels in the Indian Ocean Islands of Seychelles, Mauritius and Mozambique have spa facilities, offering a wonderful opportunity to experience your spa pampering in the surroundings of white sandy palm-fringed beaches and turquoise blue oceans. Spa and beach holidays can be arranged at Preskil, Les Pavillons, The Residence, Legends, Beau Rivage and others in Mauritius, as well as Benguerra Lodge and Indigo Bay in Mozambique.

For your convenience, we have put together the following spa suggestions in South Africa. These short packages make the perfect add on to the beginning or end of your holiday.
