Try a spa retreat on holidays to South Africa

There are plenty of places to get pampered in South Africa and one journalist has recommended a Cape Town spa.

If you have booked flights to Cape Town, chances are that you  will want to relax once you step off the plane.

According to the Daily Telegraph’s Spa Spy, one of the best places to head to could be the city’s Cape Grace Spa.

The anonymous journalist noted that the treatments and massages left her skin feeling noticeably softer and allowed her to have a good night’s sleep.

She also pointed out that, with the marina located on one side of the complex and Table Mountain on the other, “if the treatments don’t leave you too relaxed to inhale, the views will take your breath away”.

Booking into a spa for a few days could be the perfect solution for anyone travelling with a football-mad partner this summer.

With the World Cup due to kick off in South Africa on June 11th, escaping to a relaxing spa could be a great way to avoid some of the crowds, if you are not into your football.
