Fordoun Spa

This will be my first Spa review.
Flotation pool

I spent two days at Fordoun Hotel and Spa in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
Rasul treatment

I had three treatments in the spa:  A Swedish full body massage (one hour), half an hour in the flotation pool and a Rasul treatment.  They offer a full range of body treatments, massages, aromatherapy, manicures and pedicures.  They also had special treatments for pregnant moms.  Their full range of treatments (and prices) are given here.

Their one unique selling point was that they made products from local ingredients and had some treatments and products inspired by traditional Zulu herbs and practices.  They have a traditional healer as director. For example the Rasul treatment used the mud used by local Zulu women. 

The spa was big, the staff were friendly and professional and the therapist knew what she was doing.  The spa is a bit on the expensive side, but they have packages available that makes it all a bit more affordable.  My skin was silky smooth afterwards, I was totally relaxed and during the massage she did amazing things to my legs and knees.




The hotel is 5 star and was lovely.  The rooms were enormous, the bathroom was as big as some other hotel rooms I have seen, the staff were friendly and the meals were great.   Every single person greeted you as you walked around on the property.  The setting is lovely.

 
All in all a worthwhile trip !
