The Cape winelands just became your next wellness haven the reimagined Spier Hotel in Stellenbosch has revealed its revamped Spier Spa. Inspired by the Cape floral kingdom, its treatments draw on the healing powers of the fynbos biome, using natural, toxin-free products and rituals created from plants and herbs organically grown and harvested on the Spier farm.
With a private courtyard, fynbos gardens, cold therapy and mindful movement studio, the apothecary-inspired sanctuary offers unique treatments, such as the Cape Herbal Bath House, created in collaboration with resident phytotherapist Dr Caren Hauptfleisch. Hauptfleisch helped to create herbal remedies for spa offerings such as teas, tinctures, and massage oils.
We chat to Hauptfleisch and spa director Claudia van Wyk about Spier Spas wellness offering, and the Cape botanicals used in the spas treatments to support the bodys natural ability to restore balance and promote long-term wellbeing.
