Situated in the heart of the Steenberg Estate, Steenberg Spa is the picture of serenity and relaxation. Promising a day of complete physical and mental rejuvenation, the spa is known for its wide variety of therapeutic treatments.
Idyllic gardens and vineyards surround the serene interiors, and guests can experience their treatment in the spa setting, in the beautifully decorated pool house, or in the lush, secluded garden.
The spa offers a peaceful escape from city life, allowing you to switch off from everyday tasks and completely relax in a tranquil setting. Bringing together healing therapies and luxury treatments, Steenberg Spa uses specialised products from world-renowned brands to ensure efficacy and safety.
We were recently treated to a Holistic Touch Massage in Steenberg Spa’s rose garden, and also had the opportunity to experience their outdoor thermal suite and pool.
“A trip to Steenberg Spa always promises complete relaxation and rejuvenation. We recently visited the spa and were treated to Holistic Touch Massages in one of the estate’s luscious gardens.
The option to experience your treatment outdoors is one of the things I love most about Steenberg Spa. The sounds of nature (think birds chirping and the wind gently rustling through the leaves), the scent of the flowers and plants, and the incredible mountain views make it an idyllic setting.
The Holistic Touch Massage is the spa’s signature Swedish-style massage treatment, known to aid relaxation, stimulate circulation and ease muscle tension and stress. Guests can customise this massage by selecting oils targeting specific concerns and areas for the therapist to focus on.
We enjoyed an hour-long massage, which was pure heaven! Our therapists were attentive and ensured they applied the correct pressure to our preferences. My body felt completely relaxed afterwards, with muscle tension eased and the stiffness in my neck and shoulders reduced.
Once our massages were completed, we were given access to the spa’s thermal suite and pool, an area inspired by Finnish sauna culture. This outdoor experience is designed to engage the senses: it comprises a sauna, Nordic ice bucket shower and relaxation lounge.
The mental and physical benefits of exposing the body to alternating heat and cold are vast, and this experience is becoming increasingly popular in spa and gym settings. This outdoor experience is one of a kind, once again allowing guests to enjoy a world-class treatment within a beautiful nature setting.
Guests are encouraged to start their journey in the sauna, where the dry heat soothes muscles, increases circulation and promotes detoxification. After spending some time in the sauna, you can step into the refreshing Nordic ice bucket shower to boost your energy and awaken your senses, before entering the ice bath, which is known to help reduce inflammation, accelerate recovery and leave you feeling recharged. It is recommended to spend at least one minute in the ice bath – if you can! It’s an exhilarating experience with several health benefits.
When visiting Steenberg Spa, I recommend making a day of it. The estate has a beautiful outdoor pool area where you can order drinks and take a dip, and, of course, it is also known for its world-class restaurants.
It’s the perfect setting for a break from city life and daily responsibilities.” Anien – Editor
