The Sanctuary Spa at The Twelve Apostles Hotel

The Sanctuary Spa has beckoned from a grotto in the slopes of Twelve Apostles Mountain, with the natural rhythms of the Atlantic Ocean only a few meters away. A mere 10 min drive from Cape Town city, our spa offers you an idyllic retreat, with state-of-the-art equipment and treatments ranging from Hydrotherapy to alternative healing. The spa has been awarded Best spa in Southern Africa by Leading Hotels of the World in 2005.

We believe that the energies of nature, combined with quality products and individualised treatments, provide the optimal route to healing and well-being. To embrace this holistic philosophy in every way, the eastern-spirited interior utilised the elements of rock, glass, steel and water and blends effortlessly with the unique Moya product range, which employs the benefits of essential oils and plant extracts from the Cape's indigenous fynbos.

To capture the essence of the spa, 2 beautiful secluded outdoor gazebos allow you to experience treatments naturally enhanced by the fresh sea air and aroma of the surrounding fynbos.

Time loses meaning in our dry treatment rooms, in the candle-lit cave with its plunge pools and in the brine floatation which revitalises the entire being whilst a visit to Cape Town's only Rasul Chamber invigorates mind, body and soul.
