Spa and massage in Marloth Park

The spa sits in its own building, apart from the main guest areas, so treatments feel private and unhurried without interrupting the rhythm of the lodge.

It is run by L’abri, an established spa group with branches in Pretoria, Parys and Marloth Park. Resident guests can arrange treatments around safaris, meals and quieter hours. There is no need to build the day around the spa; it fits into the stay.

Massages range from gentle relaxation to deeper muscle work: Swedish, deep tissue, volcanic hot rock, Lomi Lomi and cupping, or a back and neck massage when time is short. Facial and body treatments add a slower, restorative element, and manicures, pedicures and hand and foot rituals add a little care to the day. Whether you are back from an early safari, want an unhurried afternoon to yourself or simply feel like being looked after, it can be as simple or indulgent as you like.

L’abri’s rituals draw on natural ingredients and textures that feel at home in the African setting, such as Tsamma, Baobab, Honeybush, Kalahari calabashes and heated stones. At Leriti, wellness does not feel separate from the safari. It is another way of slowing down and noticing where you are.

Some experiences are better shared. Couples treatments give two guests time to slow down together, whether it is part of a romantic stay, a celebration or simply an afternoon away from the heat.

For Private Reserve stays, small groups and special occasions, larger spa arrangements can be discussed in advance. Full body spa treatments for each guest are also part of our Bush Bliss package.
