Overlooking Arniston Bay, just two hour’s drive from Cape Town, the Arniston Spa Hotel is a desirable holiday destination in the Western Cape Province.
Relax in the Spa
In between dipping your toes in the Indian Ocean and exploring the surrounds of Arniston, you can easily add in a pampering at the Arniston Hotel Spa. With facilities like a rasoul (Turkish steam room), two saunas, three multi-purpose treatment rooms, and a hydrotherapy bath, it’s a pivotal holiday add-on for travelling couples and honeymooners looking to indulge and recover after a road-trip through the Cape.
Hit the Beach
Arniston is blessed with warm, shallow waters, and the beach directly in front of the hotel is optimal (and safe) for swimming. If you would like to take a picnic down with you, the kitchen will happily prepare some “padkos” to keep everyone satisfied. Keen for some fishing? Bring your bait and tackle. There are plenty of top-notch fishing areas and should you require a “gilly”, this can easily be arranged.
Something for the Kids
There are all sorts of games and toys available for kids at the Arniston Spa Hotel, with organised programmes over the school holidays. Take your pick from a selection of board games like Cluedo, Rummikub, and Pictionary, or grab the boogie boards and volleyball kit and hit the beach.There are also mountain bikes available for families to peddle off together on their very own Arniston adventure.
Head off on Foot
Don’t forget to pack you walking shoes when you stay at the Arniston Spa Hotel. Regardless of fitness levels, the two minute stroll to the harbour and the historical fishing village of Kassiesbaai is an easy feat for anyone on two legs. During low tide you can also walk over to the Waenhuiskrans caves, a famous landmark in the area, and if you’re in the mood for something more challenging, you can trek along to Struis Point, Galjoengat and to the De Mond Nature Reserve.
