STRESS

RELIEF IN

NATURE

orking regular acts of self-
care into our lives is crucial to
managing stress and exhaustion,
Wand contributes to overall
physical, emotional and mental well-being.
Steenberg Hotel & Spa in the Cape is offering
two summer experiences to do just this, in the
form of a package called Scented Bliss. The
co-founder of K’Alma Spas in Miami, Florida,
Marizza Contreras, says that “spas are offering
treatments that emphasise connecting with
natural surroundings, and natural elements
have an abundance of healing properties. Those
who are more in sync with nature tend to have
calmer nervous systems, positive attitudes, and
a better overall well-being.

The treatments offered by Steenberg are
designed to ease tight muscles and soothe
stress and take place in the hotel’s Scented
Garden. They comprise a herbal oil massage,
pressure point foot massage and scalp ritual.
The garden is a secluded haven with fragrant
flora and a towering Oak tree, enabling guests
to immerse themselves in nature’s scenes,
sounds and scents, and segue into a peaceful
state. After the treatments, the Scented
Bliss package is concluded with a bottle of
Steenberg 1682 Chardonnay Cap Classique and
a refreshing dip in the pool.

Alternatively, guests can opt for one of the spa’s
three beneficial massage treatments. For pain
relief and immune boosting, the CBD wellness
journey is recommended; for circulation and
toxin elimination, the Bellabaci signature
massage, and for fatigue and insomnia, the
muscle and joint magnesium therapy massage.
A sensory journey at Steenberg would not be
complete without delighting one’s taste buds,
and to this end, the hotel has introduced a new
dining experience. A private dining destination
on a candlelit deck sets the scene for a meal
under the stars, surrounded by the calming
sounds of trickling water from the garden’s
water feature.
