About Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa

Bordering the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by magnificent mountain ranges and coastal nature reserves, the Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa is located just minutes from the vibrant Cape Town. Named the number-one hotel spa in Africa and the Middle East by Travel + Leisure's 2009 World's Best Awards readers' survey, the 70-room hotel offers a style of international elegance with an indigenously-inspired sophistication.

The on-site Sanctuary Spa features extensive pampering possibilities, from hot and cold plunges to a Rasul chamber to outdoor treatment areas. Additional amenities for guests to enjoy include two outdoor swimming pools, a whirlpool, and movie cinema.

Twelve Apostles is 20 minutes from the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, which guests can access via the hotel's complimentary car or helicopter service. The affluent area of Camps Bay, lined with superb beaches, nightlife opportunities, and dining establishments, is also a short distance away.

Services

Etched into the property's surrounding rock formations, the Sanctuary Spa is an underground grotto featuring a brine pool, brine pool, hot and cold plunges, a sauna, and a Rasul chamber. In the 11 treatment rooms, guests can indulge in massage services, body wraps and scrubs, and hydrotherapy rituals, many of which are inspired by the indigenous fynbos flora. A full range of facials by Elemis are available, as are waxing and nail services. Two mountainside gazebos allow guests to enjoy private treatments alfresco.

The spa's African Signature Journey combines a medley of massage therapies, using facial, scalp, hot stone, and aromatherapy techniques. Packages tailored toward men, couples, and mommies-to-be are also offered.

Activities

Twelve Apostles provides ample opportunity to connect with nature: Guests can soak in mountain views while unwinding in the small rock pool, or splash in the larger infinity-edge pool overlooking the sea. Hammocks are set up throughout the hotel's gardens, ideal for a mid-afternoon nap; those up to the challenge can hike or jog various park trails of the nearby Table Mountain National Park. A small, on-site fitness center is also available, with treadmills, stationary bikes, and free weights.

Guests can enjoy short, scenic helicopter trips from the hotel's helistop to Cape Town's Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, known for its shopping, dining, galleries, and entertainment (complimentary shuttles transfer guests back to the hotel). Free transfers are also accessible to Camps Bay, a must-see for ocean enthusiasts, and the hotel's staff is readily available to arrange activities such as sea fishing, shark and scuba diving, and whale watching for adventure-seeking guests.
