Karkloof Spa is framed by towering cliffs and the gleaming waters of the Albert Falls Dam. It is a place that commands a sense of peace, tranquillity, and above all, exclusivity.

This eco lodge, famed for its 'green' philosophy , is the ultimate in luxury, privacy and rejuvenation. Spend time hiking, game viewing, birding or relaxing in the reserve, or let yourself be pampered in the privacy of the spa.

The award-winning spa is the largest in Africa and is divided into four areas according to the specific treatments on offer - Wetlands, Savannah, Forest and Thai Sala. Karkloof Spa is also known for its hydro area, which includes a flotation room and a Moroccan Rassoul. The use of the Roman bath, Kniepp pools, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna are all inclusive.

Whether you're on your complimentary daily game drive, settling onto the deck overlooking the valley, or lounging at the heated pool, the pervading feeling is oneness with nature. An afternoon is well spent by browsing the library or exploring the wine cellar before enjoying a delectable meal.

Karkloof Spa is truly a haven for restoration and reflection, and an ideal retreat from the clamour of daily life.

If you are lounging about the lodge or on the deck, friendly staff members are on hand to whip up a cocktail, cappuccino or suggest a local or foreign wine from the cellar.

Those wanting to spend a day relaxing by the rock pools can enjoy a picnic basket and refreshments prepared by the staff.

Karkloof Spa has 16 luxury villas making up the boutique hotel, 4 of which are interconnected, and an additional 8 luxury tents perched on the red cliffs of the plateau.

Each individually designed villa overlooks the beautiful valleys of the nature reserve, where a definite sense of calm prevails. All are private and secluded, but a stroll along the wooden walkways will connect you with the spa, lodge and the dining area.

Luxurious touches are commonplace, such as the double baths, heated towel rails and your own viewing deck. This is also evident in the elegant tents, appearing like low-slung hammocks on the cliff side.

Spectacular dawn views greet you in the morning, which is all the more enjoyable when you are enjoying the piping hot water of the private outdoor showers.

The accommodation at Karkloof Spa is contemporary, elegant and peaceful, and an ideal space to rejuvenate body, mind and soul.
