Located on Cape Town’s bustling Foreshore lies the tranquil oasis that is the Mangwanani Boutique Spa. This world-class spa is found within The Cullinan hotel, and is the perfect place to unwind for a quick lunchtime massage or an entire day of pampered bliss.

Mangwanani Spas are famous across the country for their reliably good service and peaceful experience that leaves the client feeling like they’re floating on a cloud.

Stepping into the spa’s reception area is already a pleasant experience in itself – the staff is friendly and the air smells of the unique oils Mangwanani masseuses use. The masseuse is ready for youe in no time, and you settle down into the soft white massage chair.

I experienced the head and shoulder massage, and it’s one I am eager to have again.

The massage parlour itself is beautiful and dimly-lit – the decor is simple yet tasteful, and the masseuse’s hands transport you to another world as the experience begins. A form you fill out in reception will determine which pressure you prefer during the massage, and Mangwanani Spa’s masseuse applies it perfectly.

The fragrant signature oils used will help you relax even more, and you’ll feel the tension begin to leave your body as the massage progresses.

The music selection is soft and ambient, and only adds to the tranquility of the experience. While you’ve been treated to the most luxurious and relaxing massage of your life for half an hour, it seems all too soon when the masseuse gives you a final pat on your shoulders.

The spa offers a variety of treatments, ranging from manicures and pedicures to full-body massages. Its convenient location makes it the perfect little day-cation spot as well, and the friendly staff will entice you to return again and again.
