For some of us, if we had our way, we’d have a dedicated spa day every month. Self care has become a buzz word in the last few years. Johannesburg residents have a variety of options when it comes to spas, however, people dream of more luxury quality spas such as @Sandton Spa, which is an oasis in the heart of the golden city.
There is nothing better than finding a spa that will be your destination and the Sandton area has become a spa center due to its fairly central location. You don’t need to take a long drive out to fix self-care or an intimate moment with your partner or a girl’s spa day when it comes to this neighborhood.
@Sandton Spa has been operating for about a year in the fairly new @Sandton Hotel which is quite modern and comfortable in design with high ceilings.
‘mini holiday’
The moment you step into the @Sandton Spa, the peace and calm air is palpable.
The room is large, open and suitable for large groups such as wedding parties. With the experience and health care, you want to have a sense of privacy and travel and this spa definitely offers it.
There is a private treatment room for couples, a unisex sauna and steam room and enough changing rooms and lockers for a semi-private feel to your appointment.

I was treated for the burn of the vanilla truffle body and the treatment is quite thorough and removes the dead skin cells that are cloaked up after the scrub to soak up the hydration. After showering to remove the scrub ingredients, your skin feels like a big sigh, leaving behind a smooth texture.
Salt glow facial results are fast, it is quite prickly as a beauty specialist removes surface dirt on the face.
The spa’s manager, Nteboheng Phooko, said they wanted to offer visitors a different lifestyle outside of Johannesburg’s busy schedule.

To help clients find a quieter environment, “it’s like a mini gateway to the heart of Joburg,” he said.
Phooko adds that he treats taste, well-being and listens to the body’s needs. What also sets it apart is the pilates studio.
The studio offers private reformer classes and is equipped with three Allegro 2 Body Balance Reformers, offering spring-based resistance training, supported by COCO Pilates professionals.
After your treatment, pop into the @Sandton Restaurant or ClubHouse which has a great outdoor space and a varied menu that will help you relax long before reality.
