Ginkgo Spa at Steenberg

A mere 20 minutes from Downtown and the Waterfront, in an area of the beautiful Constantia Valley originally known as "the feeding place of swans", the 5 star Steenberg Hotel is located on the Cape's oldest wine estate.

The location, surrounded by lush vineyards and a championship golf course at the foot of the magnificent Steenberg Mountains is the perfect place for this up to the minute facility.

The ambience and distinctive design in combination with the professional treatment procedures is earthy and relaxing. There are five beautifully fitted rooms, one of which is a beautiful couple's room, all offering distinctive experiences, spacious and comfortable as they encapsulate the essence of wellbeing. The serene setting and the gentle, yet powerful energy radiating from the Steenberg Mountains is bound to make the Spa at Steenberg the 'in spot' in Cape Town.

The Ginkgo Tree is symbolic for its resilience and adaptability within an ever changing world. The Ginkgo Spa emblem consists of three ginkgo leaves forming a circle. This represents the three important areas of balance, namely mind, body, and soul- all within the concept of holism.

The Service offered is uniquely personal and prides itself in offering treatments that are based on the traditional touch therapy principles, thus ensuring that the traditional healing method of human touch is applied throughout. The foundation of this therapy regime is the holistic approach to all their treatments.

Each Skin, Spa Body and Touch Therapy treatment begins with a symbolic footbath ceremony representing the cleansing of life's stresses and tensions and prepares the Ginkgo client for total relaxation as the water is sprinkled with fresh flower petals and a choice of aromatherapy essential oils.

The Spa's comprehensive menu of treatment offering represents a blend of traditional and global accents. Many of the therapies are based on the ancient beauty, healing and rejuvenation secrets of ancient cultures. These ancient traditions focus on both the inner and outer self, with the skin nourished, muscles soothed and the mind calmed.

Every detail is an important part of the experience and with every sense indulged, from the ceremony that accompanies each treatment to using the finest and most exclusive products available, the wellness experience at the Steenberg Spa will set a precedent never to be forgotten as the guest "Recaptures the forgotten sense of Wellbeing!"©
