2009 is off to a great start with Sabi Sabi receiving two new accolades: Placing in the top 10 in Travel + Leisure magazine`s list of the "World`s 500 Best Hotels", as well as securing a spot in the latest Conde Nast Traveler`s Gold List. We are very proud of these achievements in this the beginning of our 30th year of excellence.
July 2009 .. More recently Sabi Sabi`s Earth Lodge has been voted the 3rd Best Hotel in the world, and the 2nd Best on the African continent in the 2009 Travel & Leisure Magazine Best in the World rankings. The result - an astonishing 97.5% near perfect score and a big jump from last years already enviable 8th position - showed yet again that Sabi Sabi always exceeds expectations!
Earth Lodge is sculpted deep in to the earth. Almost invisible in the landscape. Inspired by the textures, colours and shapes of the natural world. Here, you are at one with the wilderness. A corridor leads you down, on a journey beneath the ground, to an experience unique and unforgettable.
Your entrance brings you to an uninterrupted bushveld panorama. A sense of peace consumes you. You are cocooned in luxury, inspiration and grace. There are twelve suites only, in addition to the Amber Suite. Each is attended by a Private Butler and is appointed with specially commissioned furnishings, a secluded plunge pool and open air shower. The natural sculptures of Geoffrey Armstrong add a powerful magic. The Amber Suite is generous beyond belief in its dimensions and boasts its own exercise room, steam room, study and kitchen. It captures art and luxury in one unique experience.
The boma, its walls sculpted from roots and built up piece by piece, captures the drama of an African night and embraces the power of the wilderness.
You can renew yourself in this place. The Earth Nature Spa and exercise centre. Massages, natural therapies or a classic spa. A secluded library. Art gallery. Meditation garden. Everything has been created for your indulgence.
Dining in a subterranean cellar will be a celebration you are not likely to forget.
Your own armed and knowledgeable Game Ranger and Shangaan Tracker will take you deep into the bushveld by open land rover or on foot. Close enough to share in a thrilling encounter with Africa`s beautiful wild creatures.
The beautiful new Amani Spas at Earth Lodge and Bush Lodge offer a full range of treatments and therapies. They complement Sabi Sabi`s ethos of creating a space at one with nature, where all things exist in harmony. Just weeks after opening, the spa at Earth Lodge has been named as a finalist in the annual South African Spa Awards, presented by Les Nouvelles Esthetiques. Winners will be announced in July.
On offer are holistic body, skin and beauty rituals, rejuvenating massages and soothing treatments designed to relax, harmonise and heal body and soul. Sessions are tailored to individual needs, and a popular option is a `couple`s package` where guests enjoy treatments simultaneously in a special suite. Amani means `Peace` in Swahili, and the new spas reflect this throughout each treatment.
At Earth Lodge, the Pango Room (`cave` in Ki-Swahili) offers a fabulous `rasul` treatment - a cleansing mud treatment combined with heat, steam and shower. All the other spa treatment rooms are beautifully crafted in Earth Lodge`s distinctive style and offer a full range of spa therapies.
The Bush Lodge treatment suites all have breathtaking views of the unending bushveld. There is also an outdoor treatment area and shower.
Amani`s philosophy is "to create the ultimate African Bush Spa experience that is pampering, unique and memorable, by creating an enchanting ambience of absolute tranquillity that reflects the soul of Africa with its natural elements & textures."
