Treated to a luxurious Spa Treatment at the Kurland Spa
A week or two ago, I was invited to enjoy a treatment of my choice at The Spa at Kurland. Well, needless to say, I really needed a massage and grabbed the opportunity.
The Spa at Kurland is located within the Kurland Hotel grounds. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly Spa staff member, who escorted me through to the Spa, where I met Heather Vlaskamp who heads the Spa at Kurland.
The Spa itself is a harmonious space that offers unpretentious indulgence, professionalism, and calm. The gentle sounds of light jazz, house & lounge mixed with a few traditional spa sounds can be heard, which immediately sets you at ease.
Heather is a qualified Somatolgist, who has over twenty years’ experience in health, beauty, and fitness with qualifications including Pilates and yoga instruction. She assessed what type of massage would suit my needs and then I relaxed completely and thoroughly enjoyed a 90 minute Swedish Massage.
Heather works intuitively, releasing stress and tension, in fact, I did not realise how much stress I was carrying until her healing hands worked it away.
After the massage, Heather gave me a tour of the Spa in my very relaxed state. The Spa includes two therapy rooms, a private steam room, and sauna, a relaxation area and a refreshing plunge pool.
Before leaving the grounds of The Kurland Hotel, I decided to unwind further by strolling through the gardens. The indigenous flora and fauna, award-winning Kurland roses, Cape Dutch style architecture and magnificent views definitely keeps one mesmerised and in a state of bliss.
When it comes to a good massage I always determine it on how I feel a few days later. Well, Heather did a fine job as a few days later I felt completely rejuvenated!
I would definitely suggest indulging in a ‘day at the Spa’. After your treatment, you can order items from the Hotel menu and enjoy in the plunge pool courtyard.
Complete privacy is provided for sauna, steam room, and plunge pool use. Special packages and gift vouchers are also available. Tea, coffee, red, white or sparkling wine is also offered to all their clients.
