They’ve just celebrated their 21st anniversary and there’s a reason they’re world-renowned. If you haven’t yet experienced this exquisite five star location, then you must add it to the top of your bucketlist. Having just reopened in May, the hotel is now offering ground-breaking new spa treatments. And if you’re a hotel guest, even better as you can now opt for exciting new virtual fitness and wellness classes from the comfort of your own suites. Let’s see what you can expect on your next visit.
Bespoke Mindfulness Journey
All guests start each treatment with a bespoke mindfulness journey, allowing guests the opportunity to shake off the concerns of the outside world before embarking on their treatment. Guests are guided through these immersive mindfulness journeys by their Saxon Spa therapist, to ensure that the maximum benefit is derived from this meditation.
Bellabaci Massage
This treatment is based around a silicone cupping technique to aid in drainage and detoxifying the body. The Bellabaci Massage combines the techniques of Swedish and deep tissue massage to relieve pain and detoxify the body.
Saxon Signature Journey
The Digital Detox Journey, the brainchild of Spa Manager Tanya Lopes and allows guests to separate from their devices and reconnect with themselves through a massage focussing on those stress points brought on by the use of technology. This innovative treatment begins with the guest sealing their digital devices in a technology bag, before embarking on the signature Saxon mindfulness exercise.
Next is a full-body exfoliation and a massage combining Bellabaci cupping and deep tissue techniques, to release tension stemming from digital strain.
#HelloRecommends: Sleep Therapy
This treatment is for all jetlagged travellers, as well as those of us who are sleep deprived due to the high levels of anxiety or stress in our lives. The treatment takes place on a dry flotation bed, where programmed chromotherapy lighting will aid in drifting off into a deep restful sleep. Amazingly, a 30-minute sleep therapy treatment is the equivalent of four hours of undisturbed sleep – the perfect way for a time-strapped modern individual to catch up on lost sleep.
The Saxon is fully COVID-19 compliant and details on their protocols and measures put in place to ensure the safety of guests can be found on the Saxon website at www.saxon.co.za/covid-19-hotelnews/
