From the rolling hills of KwaZulu-Natal to the world stage—our sanctuary of healing shines brightest among the world’s finest!

Our Healing Earth Transformative Wellness Spa has just been crowned Spa of the Year at the prestigious Destination Deluxe Awards 2025, held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.

This extraordinary achievement places our spa at the very pinnacle of global wellness, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world’s finest destinations. The Destination Deluxe Awards are renowned for their focus on quality, originality, transparency and innovation—and to be recognised on this stage is an affirmation of the heart, vision and care that define the Brahman Hills experience.

A Global Stage, A Midlands Sanctuary

The DestinationDeluxe Awards & Wellness Day brings together leaders and visionaries from across the world of luxury wellness and travel. To triumph as Spa of the Year in such an inspiring, international setting is both a humbling honour and a testament to the commitment of our Healing Earth and Brahman Hills team.

Our spa blends modern luxury with indigenous natural inspiration. Guests are invited to embark on holistic journeys of rejuvenation in a sanctuary that features serene therapy rooms with sweeping views, indulgent steam rooms, a plunge pool, and carefully crafted treatments rooted in South African natural heritage. Every detail is designed to align mind, body and spirit with nature’s rhythm.

A Haven of Tranquility

Whether you are looking for a pampering session, a Midlands spa weekend, or a couple’s massage, the Healing Earth Transformative Wellness Spa is a cosy haven for the frazzled and world-weary.

* A five-time award-winning spa, recognised globally for excellence
* Eight luxury treatment rooms, including a dedicated manicure and pedicure space
* A serene tranquility lounge complete with a champagne, coffee, and smoothie bar

Here, indulgence meets intention—each treatment designed not only to relax, but to restore balance and inspire renewal.

A Legacy of Award-Winning Excellence

This is not the first time the Healing Earth Transformative Wellness Spa has earned international acclaim. Our journey is defined by a legacy of excellence, with accolades that include:

• 2024 Best Boutique Hotel Spa award in the Les Nouvelles Esthétiques Spa Awards for South Africa. This award recognises excellence in quality and innovation within the Spa, Health, and Wellness industry.

These awards reflect a consistent dedication to innovation, sustainability, and authentic healing that extends well beyond treatments—it’s a philosophy of wellness woven into the very fabric of Brahman Hills.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Visit

October is a season of renewal. As the gardens awaken with blossoms and the hills glow under spring skies, it’s the ideal time to step into a transformative journey of rest, reflection, and revitalisation. Whether you come to release tension, realign your energy, or simply indulge in stillness, our international award-winning spa offers a sanctuary where healing begins the moment you arrive.
