In response to the growing demand for wellness tourism offerings, Hotel Verde at Cape Town International Airport, recently launched a luxury onsite spa facility, the Verde Vita Spa and Wellness Centre.

The spa offers a wide range of traditional and innovative spa and wellness treatments, including a state-of-the-art infrared cabin that uses infrared light to detoxify and warm the body.

The new Verde Vita spa facility also offers spa guests access to the natural plant-filtered swimming pond as well as a jogging trail and outdoor gym surrounded by gardens, wetlands, and fynbos.

Caron van Rooyen, GM of Hotel Verde, explained that the hotel had identified a need to not just focus on tourists and travellers, and would therefore target local Capetonians as well as nearby corporate businesses.

“The emotional and mental well-being of employees is more in the spotlight than ever before as organisations increasingly realise the important link between well-being and reduced work stress, improved productivity, staff retention and overall company success.

“Knowing this, we have launched a corporate wellness offering combining onsite conferencing and restaurant facilities, if needed, with the spa facilities and treatments. In addition, we will be launching three new offerings, including a convenient call-out service, rejuvenating Wellness Weekdays, and a rewarding Loyalty Card Programme,” said Van Rooyen.

From March 1, Verde Vita will provide a call-out service for businesses within a 3km radius of the spa. Corporate clients can call and reserve specific treatments with a Verde Vita therapist, who will travel to their location to provide the service.

Additionally, the spa has implemented a loyalty card programme that offers discounts and complimentary treatments to frequent visitors.
