Located just outside Pietermaritzberg and about 2 hours from Durban, Karkloof Spa is a luxuriously spacious boutique lodge, with 16 individually decorated villas, making it Africa’s largest destination spa.

Its 3500 hectares of beautiful terrain are abundant with wildlife. Days are filled with early morning game drives, followed by a light breakfast and indulgent spa treatments. 

The spa’s hydro facilities include Roman baths, sauna, steam room, combo sauna-steam room, Kniepp pools and a jacuzzi.

While away the afternoon with a good book on your private deck or follow one of the walking trails along the Karkloof River.
