The treatments are based on traditional African techniques of weaving cloth
Taking inspiration from traditional African weaving techniques and the environmental and cultural surroundings of the continent, Terres d’Afrique has created bespoke signature treatments for the Four Seasons hotel spa in Johannesburg.
Having also recently collaborated with a Four Seasons hotel in Mauritius, Terres d’Afrique first seeks to understand the needs of its clients through consultations, and then creates entirely new rituals and protocols, or techniques and bespoke products.
At the Four Seasons Hotel, The Westcliff, in Johannesburg, three bespoke treatments have been created based on an African plant, an African tribe and African craft. The last of these, ‘Weavers’, imitates the rhythmic hand weaving strokes that twist and turn cotton and silk fibres into cloth to create a massage intended to release all the tension in the body.
All treatments offer a “very definite sense of place of this beautiful, vast continent”, according to Julanda Marais, spa manager at Four Seasons Johannesburg.
“The treatments are engaging every sense, such as the sense of touch, smell and taste, since every bespoke treatment has an associated unique feel, scent and post-treatment tea combination,” she said. “Apart from the physical benefits, there are also the emotional benefits, since the treatments are also focusing on the holistic experience, which ensures a complete guest journey.”
Terres d’Afrique’s product formulations focus on harnessing antioxidants and essential fatty
acids, also known as omegas, combining the curative and restorative power of many African plants. The result is a full range of skincare products to complement the company’s treatments.
