Spa Facilities

Fordoun Spa: health and beauty spa

The exclusive Fordoun Spa boasts a team of experts that include skilled masseurs, Reiki and Bio-energy specialists, a traditional African Healer and highly trained aestheticians.

The spa features internationally acclaimed treatments such as the Rasul which is a Turkish steam and clay treatment room, a saline Floatation pool, heated swimming pool, a gymnasium, sauna, steam room, Vichy shower, hydrotherapy room, and a couples’ treatment suite with hydrotherapy bath.

Treatments available at Fordoun include:

  • Aromatherapy body and bath treatments, using exotic blends of essential oils to suit each customer’s needs
  • Indulgent Exotic Frangipani body wraps and African Potatoe healing wraps
  • Hydrotherapy baths and showers
  • Thalassotherapy Seaweed treatments
  • Various massages, including Deep Tissue massage, Swedish and Aromatherapy

Part of the holistic relevance of everything at the Fordoun Spa has led to the development of the Fordoun signature range of products, created in conjunction with Dr Elliot Ndlovu, herbalist and ethnobotanist, who is a traditional African Healer and Inyanga, and a director of Fordoun Spa.

Under his guidance, some products have been carefully created from indigenous traditional healing plants, especially for Fordoun. The range includes soaps, shower gels, massage oils, bath salts, creams and sprays, based on the theme of the seven Chakras and the seven colours of the rainbow. A luxury Eau de Toilette range, Ma’Ndlovu for women and BabaNdlovu for men, has been designed for both the local and export markets.

Fordoun also makes use of Elemis an exclusive upmarket international beauty treatment range. Which we feel works well with the Ndlovu range and compliments our natural, South African range, Africology.
