SPAS & RESORTS Spread far and wide, this spa retreat in South Africa is built with relaxation in mind. If you’re feeling like you need some luxury in nature, here are the spas you simply have to check out. Amidst a charming historical fishing village on the edge of the azure Indian Ocean lies the Arniston Hotel, where fishermen set out at dawn to cast their lines and where an endless beach meets the sky. Sea-facing rooms have private balconies and garden rooms open on to the pool. Savour the freshly caught line fish of the day by candlelight, and plan your next excursion. Fishing, walks, picnics in the beautiful surrounding nature reserves or lazing on the beach. Golf, tennis and shipwreck museum nearby. Superb whale watching. Easy two-hour drive from Cape Town. Conference facilities for 100 delegates. page 40 | Issue #59
