Conrad opens first resort in South Africa
Hilton Worldwide's luxury brand, Conrad Hotels and Resorts, has opened its first resort in Knysna, South Africa.
Located between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, Conrad Pezula features 78 suites housed in detached villas, five larger family villas and a private castle.
Spanning 2,500 acres, the resort houses the Pezula Spa, which features nine treatment rooms, a nail bar, a hair studio, a juice bar, a rainforest shower and a sauna and steamroom.
The spa's post-treatment room features heated massage waterbeds, while a medi-spa facility offers an extensive menu of treatments for a variety of conditions.
Products used in Pezula Spa's signature treatments form part of the Maruwa collection - a range containing ingredients and essences from the Western Cape's indigenous fynbo (a type of scrubland).
The gym facilities include a 12m indoor pool, an outdoor spa pool, rehabilitation services and personal trainers.
Other amenities include an 18-hole championship golf course and a sports complex comprising four tennis courts as well as an archery range.
Dining options include Zacharay's Restaurant and Terrace serving seasonal dishes and all-day bistro Z Café. The resort also houses a specialist Champagne and Whisky Bar.
