That is why we decided to write this list of the best spa specials Cape Town has to offer. Allowing you to enjoy a relaxing spa day that won’t break your budget.
Types of Spas
Before we can take a look at the spa specials Cape Town offers, we must take a look at 4 different types of spas. Broadly speaking these four types are as follows:
- Day Spas: The most common type of spa is the day spa. These spas do not offer any overnight accommodation or services, completing all of their treatments within a day.
- Destination Spas: These are specialised resorts that focus on wellness and wellness activities. Destination spas are quite rare however they can be a life-changing experience.
- Hotel and Resort Spas: These are spas located in a hotel or resort, forming part of the amenities offered by these accommodations. While the line between these and a destination spa can be blurry. The easiest way to distinguish them is these are hotels or resorts first, meaning they have non-wellness-related services and amenities like alcohol.
- Thermal and Mineral Springs Spas: These are the traditional types of spas, as they are located by natural water springs. Their waters often contain various natural elements from the surrounding rock that are purported to benefit clients’ health.
