The newly opened Bush Nature Spa at Sabi Sabi's 5-Star Bush Lodge now offers a unique, signature treatment, 'African Romance' for guests.

Specially designed by Camelot, which runs the spa, the African Romance * treatment comprises an invigorating rose salt scrub, followed by an intense, African essential butter back, neck and shoulder massage - all delivered by a highly trained therapist. For sixty glorious minutes, guests will lose themselves in a sensory experience at one with the surrounding bush, and emerge feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and restored. Sabi Sabi's Earth Nature Spa at Earth Lodge also offers the African Romance treatment, with an additional petal hydrotherapy bath, and the option of dual treatments for couples wanting to share the experience.

The new spa also offers a comprehensive range of beauty and wellness treatments against the backdrop of the bushveld, including massages, facials and deluxe manicures, as well as the latest technology treatments. All aspects of the spa were created to reflect the restful, embracing atmosphere of the bush, using natural materials.

Guests are also offered the option of treatments in their rooms, with sweeping views across Bush Lodge's water hole, where animals and birds come daily to drink. Having recently undergone a total refurbishment, Bush Lodge's contemporary style and warm atmosphere lends itself to the indulgence that the spa provides.

A small, well-equipped health centre has been created adjacent to the spa, and features a range of training and fitness equipment for guests.

* The hour-long African Romance treatment costs R320 for a single treatment and R480 for a dual treatment.
