On 21 November 2023, Hotel Verde officially opened the doors to its Verde Vita Spa and Wellness Centre.
Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport has always been at the forefront of sustainability, and the launch of its spa, Verde Vita, is a testament to its commitment to creating a greener and more holistic environment.
The spa facility boasts a luxurious space for guests to relax and enjoy the green oasis that is Verde Vita.

The spa began as a small facility within the hotel, initially created to meet the demands of Hotel Verde guests who seek a serene space to relax and rejuvenate after long flights.
Hotel Verde decided to transform empty office spaces into a grand spa facility. With the support of a dedicated team, including the local South African architect firm Ohkre Collective, the construction company Phase Three, the green consultant André Harms of Ecolution, and the spa consultant Jacoline Wentzel of Spa Warehouse, Verde Vita was designed to incorporate sustainability into every detail.
‘I love supporting local businesses with sustainability at the core of their operation ethos, and it was a joy to discover the many marvels of Verde Vita,’ said Amy Kleinhans-Curd, the guest of honour and ribbon cutter at the opening of Verde Vita.
She continued, ‘With its focus on offering fresh, organic and locally sourced produce, this new establishment is a testament to the growing trend of eco-consciousness in South Africa.’
As a boutique spa, Verde Vita embraces the core values of Hotel Verde, blending sustainability with luxurious guest experiences.
Curved walls, green wall finishes, curved arches for retail shelves and the reception desk are all elements of the spa’s aesthetic that draw inspiration from organic shapes in nature. This design mirrors Hotel Verde’s commitment to preserving the environment while simultaneously providing exceptional service and comfort to its guests.
Jacoline Wentzel, the spa consultant from Spa Warehouse, shared her vision for Verde Vita, stating, ‘As the spa consultant on the job, I wanted to make sure that not only does the spa function well, but that it follows the green philosophy of Hotel Verde. We carefully selected local manufacturing for our spa equipment, including beech wood massage beds and trollies.’

She explained that the lounges, such as those in the Breathing Room, were made locally, and that we also sourced linen towels from local suppliers. The treatment menu consists of professional treatments that use only South African product lines that are certified organic or natural, in keeping with Verde Vita’s ‘Green Life’ philosophy.
Verde Vita Spa features three beautifully appointed treatment rooms – Magnolia, Lavender and Jasmine – named after popular flowering plants. The single massage treatment rooms can easily be converted into a double treatment room to accommodate couples seeking ultimate relaxation together.
The spa also boasts an infrared cabin, a type of sauna that uses infrared lighting, a manicure and pedicure treatment section, an eyelash extension treatment room and a post-treatment breathing room.
Verde Vita is committed to using environmentally friendly and sustainable products to enhance their guests’ spa experience.
They feature South African skincare brands such as ESSE, Cashmere & Co., Matsimela, BioSculpture and SUNSKIN, known for their dedication to using natural, organic and planet-conscious ingredients.
After indulging in their chosen treatments, guests can unwind, sip on tea and take a deep breath in the serene ambience of the Breathing Room.
Verde Vita’s spa therapists are all trained professionals, providing a true South African experience for foreign guests arriving at the hotel.
Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport continues to set a new standard in sustainable hospitality with the launch of the Verde Vita Spa and Wellness Centre.
