Cape Town could easily be termed the Wellness Capital of South Africa. Skirting the slopes of Table Mountain and its neighbouring peaks, and fringing the shores of Table Bay and False Bay, the city and many of its suburbs are closely embedded with nature, offering numerous serene sanctuaries and cocoons of natural beauty. The Mother City is beyond-perfect for quality downtime and wellness getaways – some of which are sidled up against rugged mountain slopes, whilst others are set on verdant garden estates or poised to overlook breath-catching coastlines. Here Exclusive Getaways brings you a discerning selection of wellness getaways that promise both calm and revitalization.
