About Taj Cape Town

Services

Rooted in ancient Indian healing wisdom, the Jiva Grande Spa at Taj Cape Town offers guests an extensive menu inspired by Indian aromatherapy and Ayurvedic therapies. Select treatments, including bespoke holistic staples exclusive to Jiva Grande, utilize organic products derived from Indian herbs and essential oils.

There are eight treatment suites in the 650-square-meter spa: two designated for beauty services such as facials and nailcare; one for Ayurvedic signature consultations; four single massage rooms; and one dual massage suite with a Jacuzzi tub. Separate men's and women's locker rooms with hammams, vitality pools, and shower facilities allow guests to relax in style.
