Santé Hotel and Spa is located in the Franschhoek Valley, in the Western Cape, South Africa, on a 160-hectare working wine estate and is dedicated to health, wellness and relaxation.

Santé Hotel, Resort and Spa is under new management and ownership as of 1 April 2011. “The well known Spa pioneered Vino-therapy in South Africa and has received many accolades as a result of this, most notably its selection as one of the ‘Top three Spas in the world’ (Condé Nast Traveller 2006),” says executive general manager Hans Heuer. “It still remains ahead of the game in international treatments and innovative therapies that now include “Dr Fish” and the unique option of a DNA-based lifestyle management programme, in conjunction with Blueprint Health.

Santé is also in partnership with Private Residence Club Collection (PRCC), Preferred Hotels International, Simply Spa group, Preferred Boutique (www. PreferredBoutique.com), Status Hotels and part of the Green Leaf initiative.”

There are 10 Manor Suites at the hotel itself and 39 Spa Suites, adjacent to the main building. Every detail encourages the guest’s sense of relaxation and wellbeing, with toiletries and cosmetics reflecting the symbiotic relationship with nature. Ideal for families or guests intending to stay longer with fire places, patios and small kitchens, the Spa Suite section has its own pool and entertainment area. Conference facilities in the banqueting hall can accommodate up to 160 people cinema-style, with breakaway rooms and organiser’s office. Next to the conference section is a pizzeria-style bar with patio, fireplace, big screen televisions and reception area. Breakaway rooms include a 12-seat executive boardroom, a 25-seat room and two smaller (10-seater) rooms. The majority of the Santé venue is wheelchair-friendly with elevators and accessible bathroom facilities.

The tent is traditionally erected in the Piazza (hotel courtyard) and extends to include a pool area with majestic views of the Paarl and Franschhoek Valley mountains.“We are not here to re-invent the wheel, but to bring Santé back to life and provide our guests with the ultimate in service excellence and bestow upon them the luxury Spa experience that one would expect from an establishment such as ours” explains Hans Heuer.
