With the not-so-secret sands of Boulders Beach – one of Time Out's Best Beaches in Cape Town – just a short walk away, and a soundtrack of the famous African penguin colony to keep you company, Tintswalo Boulders offers a delightful seaside escape in Cape Town. With the personal-touch hospitality of a private villa and just a handful of luxury suites on offer, it makes for a cosy seaside hideaway any time of year. Come summer, the rooftop terrace and plunge pool are especially idyllic.
But in the midst of winter, you might be happier soaking into the heated indoor plunge pool that takes pride of place in the new wellness spa.
It’s an intimate space, and the focus is firmly on the menu of bespoke wellness treatments. The menu of face and body therapies uses high-end BABOR products, alongside additional mani-pedi treatments, while longer wellness packages are available for head-to-toe pampering.
The signature treatment is the Full Body Ocean Journey, a nod to Tintswalo Boulders’ seaside location, that uses marine elements for an intense energy and hydration boost which works to stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic flow.
With the beach just a stone’s throw away, Tintswalo Boulders has always been a hot destination for families, and happily, kids are well taken care of at the new Boulders Spa: sign them up for the Kids Penguin Package that includes a mini-facial, manicure and pedicure.
