Brahman Hills is proud to announce that its Healing Earth Transformative Wellness Spa has been shortlisted in the Spa of the Year category at the prestigious 2025 Destination Deluxe Awards. The Destination Deluxe Awards celebrate excellence, sustainability, and heartfelt care in the global wellness and travel industries, and this nomination is a testament to Brahman Hills’ dedication to providing an exceptional guest experience that blends world-class wellness with authentic, proudly South African hospitality.
Located in the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, the Healing Earth Spa is more than just a hotel spa; it is an integral part of the Brahman Hills experience. Designed to help guests slow down and reconnect with nature, the spa sits within the serene Blue Crane Reserve, surrounded by rolling hills, indigenous forests, abundant wildlife, and the estate’s internationally acclaimed gardens.
“Being recognised on the global stage again is an incredible honour,” says Onwaba Gonyora, Director at Brahman Hills. “The spa is central to what Brahman Hills stands for. It’s not just a place for treatments; it’s a sanctuary for wellness, rest, healing, and reflection. These nominations are really a testament to our team and the partnership that makes this experience so special.”
Every detail at the spa has been carefully crafted to encourage deep relaxation and connection with the surroundings. From the glass-walled pool area that offers expansive views to serene treatment rooms that invite the outdoors in, the design promotes tranquility at every turn. Soaking tubs are perfectly positioned to capture the golden glow of the hills at sunset, while steam rooms frame peaceful dams through contemporary tiled finishes. Pedicure chairs are strategically placed to offer views through round windows that showcase the ever-changing scenery of the Midlands. Calming blues and creams set the tone in the treatment rooms, and generous lounges and sun decks invite guests to take their time and unwind.
All treatments at the spa use Healing Earth’s vegan, refillable, scientifically formulated products, which feature African botanicals such as Raw Shea Butter, Baobab, Marula, and Pinotage. This sustainable approach is in line with the values that define Brahman Hills: a respect for heritage and a commitment to sustainability.
Voting for the 2025 Destination Deluxe Awards is open until 31 July 2025. Brahman Hills warmly invites guests and supporters to help champion African excellence in wellness on the global stage.
