RESTORE
During times of stress, lifestyles can become unhealthy and bodies may feel sluggish and in need of detoxification. Restore Treatments are tailored to help stimulate the circulation and lymphatic system, and assist in improving the look and feel of the skin.
Highly qualified therapists – all from South Africa and intensively trained by ESPA on site for a minimum of eight weeks- recommend the programme most suited to each guest. Alternatively guests can purchase a block of Spa Time, during which they will be guided through their‘ journey’ of treatments and rituals most suited to their needs. For those looking for complete escapism, One & Only Spa offers Private Spa Suites which can be reserved for two people. Couples can enjoy the soaking bath for two, steam shower and side by side treatments.
Treatments, as well as design, at One & Only Spa reflect the African environment. Inspired by local Bushmen who relied on seashore provisions, the One & Only Cape Town Essence of Earth and Ocean Experience makes use of indigenous African ingredients. Local sea salt exfoliates whilst Baobab Tree Oil is used to massage and a re-mineralizing South African seaweed wrap provides conditioning effects. Offering 120 minutes of pure therapy, it is the definitive indigenous Signature treatment on the menu.
A 350 square metre free-form, infinity-edge pool is located on the island and offers guests sitting areas with double chaise lounges, ideal for sunbathing or relaxing under shaded pavilions.
For the more active, the resort’ s Marina Rise is home to the 200 square metre One & Only Fitness Centre, featuring state-of-the-art fitness equipment from Technogym ®. Offering personalised workout programmes developed for the individual needs of guests and residents and linked with the other One & Only resorts and gyms using Technogym ® equipment, guests can follow the same programme wherever they are.
The programme is also fully integrated with specific spa treatments and nutritional advice. A dedicated Kinesis training room offers tri-dimensional pulley system training and there are additional studios for Yoga and Pilates.
