July 2020 - Ballito Umhlanga
Conscious living. Thinking before you speak. Acting with intention. Placing careful thought into the things you do, eat and buy. This month we turn our attention to the art of being mindful. From making small changes like 'meat-free-Mondays' and choosing low or no-alcohol drinks, to listening to positive podcasts that encourage kindness (to yourself and others) and taking time out to care for your body, mind and soul … we are embracing all that is good and healthy.

WELLNESS<br />
road trip in the Cape<br />
Watching whales, relaxing beach walks<br />
and an outdoor massage. Book us in!<br />
Living mindfully is all about making<br />
well thought-out decisions about<br />
everything ... including – and perhaps<br />
most importantly – about your wellbeing.<br />
And after the last few months<br />
of stress, tension and uncertainty, we<br />
think taking some time out to restore<br />
mind, body and soul is well worth it.<br />
This Wellness Road Trip with Cape<br />
Country Routes, which goes from<br />
Paarl up the South Coast to the De<br />
Hoop Nature Reserve, sounds perfect.<br />
It starts in Paarl, with its range of<br />
cultural and historical attractions, then<br />
continues along the exceptionally<br />
scenic Cape South Coast, where the<br />
indigenous Cape fynbos meets the<br />
cold seas at the southernmost tip of<br />
Africa, and on to the De Hoop Nature<br />
Reserve. This is a natural wonder of<br />
unsurpassed beauty and a favourite<br />
destination for hikers, cyclists, bird<br />
watchers, whale watchers and seekers<br />
of natural beauty.<br />
For enhancing wellness, peace of<br />
mind, calm and tranquillity, spend<br />
one night at the Cascade Country<br />
Manor in Paarl with its beautiful views<br />
of the olive orchards, vineyards and<br />
mountains and indulge in a variety<br />
of treatments at the in-house spa or<br />
relax in the pool area, or take a walk to<br />
the waterfall. Other activities include<br />
wine tastings, wine tours and hiking.<br />
The next night is spent at The<br />
Arniston Spa Hotel, set in one of<br />
the Cape’s most exquisite locations<br />
next to an old fishing village,<br />
surrounded by pristine beaches and<br />
nature reserves. Here you can enjoy<br />
panoramic views of the unspoilt<br />
ocean and endless beaches, take<br />
long, relaxing beach walks, visit local<br />
wineries, indulge in soothing in-house<br />
spa treatments, and much more.<br />
Your final two nights will be at the<br />
De Hoop Collection. The De Hoop<br />
Spa is an oasis of calm – one that<br />
offers the ultimate escape with a<br />
variety of revitalising beauty and body<br />
treatments ... think a range of relaxing<br />
massages to soothe the body and<br />
mind, as well as a selection of facials,<br />
manicures, pedicures and grooming<br />
services. Other activities include an<br />
eco river cruise, walks through herds<br />
of eland and bontebok to the ocean,<br />
a visit the Cape vulture colony and<br />
