If you’re in need of a little TLC and have an hour available (which is the state I found myself in post-deadline last week) then I recommend you book yourself in for a Kalahari Rolling Sands Massage (R650 for 60 minutes). It begins with an aromatic choice; instead of oil, the massage is performed with warm, moisturising wax from one of four fragranced candles. I chose the earthy, yet fresh Khoi San scent, and for the next hour, the delicately fragranced, candle-lit treatment room at Constantia Uitsig Spa became my cocoon of calm. My therapist Angelica used her arms to mimic the flowing movement of the desert sands across my whole body. It was a very soothing, rhythmical experience, so much so that I even caught myself nodding off at one point. Bust the best bit? You get to keep the candle which is housed in a nifty ceramic jug and lid so you can recreate your own cocoon of calm at home!
