Angsana Spa is harmoniously placed alongside the new spacious and calm river deluxe suites, all overlooking the crystal clear Liesbeeck river running through the historic gardens of the vineyard hotel & spa; “the first English country house in South Africa where Lady Anne Barnard nurtured her spirit in tranquility.”  Angsana spa takes its name from the exotic Angsana Tree, noted for its crown of golden fragrant flowers that burst into bloom unexpectedly for just one day. Its philosophy is to seize life spontaneously, to sense the moment and savour time as it passes inexorably. Angsana spa is owned by Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts. The lifestyle-oriented spa offers spa products and accessories, traditional handicrafts, resort style home furnishings and unique gifts, keeping alive village craft skill and gainful employment for the communities. The first Angsana spa was founded in 1998 and since then, the group has branched out to include establishments in Australia, Maldives, Indonesia, India, Thailand and Taiwan.  Angsana spa retreats are designed to be sanctuaries for the inner self, to refresh and rejuvenate your spirit as well as your physical being.
