Award-Winning Spa and Wellness

The Arniston Spa Hotel is home to the Ginkgo Spa, a facility that earned the hotel two Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards: Best Country Hotel and Best Beach Hotel in South Africa. The spa offers a Turkish steam room, two saunas, and multiple treatment and massage rooms that include body wraps, facials, and hammam sessions. Guests also have access to a spa lounge, relaxation area, and a steam room, with packages available for wellness-focused stays.

Diverse Dining with Local Flavors

The hotel's main restaurant overlooks the Indian Ocean and serves fresh local seafood and authentic South African dishes such as bobotie and oxtail. A separate bistro offers sushi, pizza, and a light lunch menu, with both restaurants available for room service. The wine list features award-winning local selections, and breakfast includes a buffet with smoked salmon, pastries, and a glass of sparkling wine.

Spacious Rooms with Ocean Views

Rooms at the Arniston Hotel come with private balconies and panoramic views of the beachfront or the swimming pool. Some rooms include a fireplace, underfloor heating, and a separate lounge area, with complimentary sherry and chocolate turndown service.

Location Between Two Nature Reserves

The Arniston Spa Hotel sits on coastal cliffs just 1300 ft from Arniston Beach, nestled between the De Mond and De Hoop Nature Reserves. These reserves offer hiking trails and wildlife viewing, including whale watching during the season. Nearby attractions include the Waenhuiskrans Cave at low tide and the fishing village of Kassiesbaai for cultural experiences, while Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa, is 27 miles away.

Family Amenities and Seasonal Activities

The hotel operates a kids' club with indoor and outdoor play equipment, board games, and supervised activities. On-site options include bicycle rental, table tennis, hiking, fishing, and live sport events.
