Attractions – Health & Wellness

Health & Wellness

Travelling and an often busy itinerary may lead to an exhausting trip, so it’s important to set aside time for rejuvenating body and mind to make the most of your visit to the fairest Cape. Some of the country’s top spas and wellness centres lie in the most picturesque parts of Cape Town. Book a stay one of many spas, or opt for an old world bathe at the Long Street Baths in central Cape Town, built more than a century ago.

Keeping the mind rested and centred is just as important a consideration as maintaining good health. Cape Town has a number of different labyrinths laid out in different surrounds for your convenience.

Trying different foods in a new country is part of the travel experience. If you feel like a change from the Cape’s glorious restaurants, visit the Oude Molen Eco Village or some of the Cape’s fresh produce markets and fill your basket with homegrown fruit, veggies and delicatessen treats.
