Spier Wine Farm is located within the most richly biodiverse biome on Earth, with its many thousands of species of restorative medicinal herbs. Some are wild-harvested while others are organically propagated and cultivated in Spier’s healing botanical garden or neighboring farms, for use in poultices, tinctures, body products and facial rejuvenation, fostering a complete sense of wellbeing.
Our spa guests - both hotel residents and day visitors - can enjoy full-body wellness treatments and professional phytotherapy by our resident herbal specialist. Our treatments incorporate natural African heritage remedies made with botanicals from our herbal garden. The result: an aromatic and sensorially layered experience from the moment you step inside - and at every turn.
Our Approach to Wellness
We believe in using the power of nature to help you reconnect with yourself. Each of us has different needs, so we take a personalised approach, tailoring every treatment to your body’s unique rhythms and state of well-being. It’s about more than just feeling good in the moment—it’s about restoring your body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Our treatments combine the best of nature and science, designed to awaken the senses and help your body find balance. They help to restore calm and bring into balance the primary factors of ageing—inflammation, oxidation, methylation, and glycation–using natural, organic, toxin-free products and ingredients. Our goal is simple: to help you feel healthier, live longer, and stay connected to the world around you.
