Paarl, South Africa — Santé Wellness Retreat & Spa is proud to announce its latest global recognition: the retreat has been honoured with three prestigious Spa Awards in 2025, solidifying its position as a leader in holistic wellness.
Double Victory at the World Spa Awards
At the 11th Annual World Spa Awards, Santé was awarded South Africa’s Best Wellness Retreat and Africa’s Best Wellness Retreat. These wins follow Santé’s consistent excellence in previous years — the retreat has previously been honoured with both of these titles across earlier editions of the Awards.
Another Global Win
The Luxury Spa Edit Awards are prestigious honours that recognise the best in the luxury spa and wellness industry, celebrating elite spas, clinics and retreats worldwide. Nominees are selected by a panel of experts and winners are determined by a public vote. Santé came in at No. 2 in Africa for Best Spa Retreat in the Luxury Spa Edit Awards 2025.
Setting the Benchmark for Wellness
Situated in the heart of the Western Cape Winelands, Santé Wellness Retreat & Spa seamlessly blends scientific rigour with heartfelt hospitality. The retreat features a world-class Day Spa, a pioneering Health Optimizing Clinic, and a Bio-Energy Centre — combining advanced diagnostics and therapies with nurturing wellness rituals. Guests of Santé benefit from highly personalised programs: stays begin from two days and are tailored around individual health needs through bespoke non-invasive assessments, therapeutic treatments, and wellness coaching. The retreat’s commitment to honestly healthy cuisine also distinguishes its offering. Its gourmet, nutrient-rich menus draw on locally sourced ingredients and are designed to restore balance and vitality.
A Proud South African Beacon of Wellness
